About

On my 'www.Bandmix.co.uk/dejan-djordjevic-tron' artist web page here are five of my tracks for free listening, the 1st song, God Save The Queen, is my June 2010 version of the national anthem of the United Kingdom. I have an original song portfolio of a few hundred songs (music and lyrics; I was never bound to just one music style like rock, pop-rock or synth rock), and I have co-written another hundred works as well as re-arranged, performed, recorded and produced several cover versions. As TRON is my pseudonym and stage name, and I used to occasionally feature co-writers and session musicians for live performance as well as for studio recordings in the long gone past, I was once again solo on vocals and all instruments for my new works, and I did the sound engineering and production myself, too. I am delighted that on this artist page of mine, http://www.bandmix.co.uk/dejan-djordjevic-tron, I can make my work available to a wider audience and this helps me to elevate my music's unidirectional unfolding.
- - - - - Pete Feenstra, who used to work at the Shepherds Bush EMPIRE theatre in Shepherds Bush, London, wrote in 2008 about myself and my music: "During his time in Germany Dejan was an important outpost for British Rock- and Pop-music, and often had musicians from the UK in his recording studio, too. When I first heard TRON live on stage and Dejan sung and played his songs 'It's About Time', and also 'Cruel World' followed by 'Britannia Rules The Waves Again', I and my mates thought Dejan was a Celtic geezer from Northern Ireland, somewhere Belfast way. We were surprised to learn he grew up in the South of West Germany, but his music sounds British, probably more British than many other more successful musicians born in England. Dejan Djordjevic's TRON sound was modern with his Synthesisers and E-Guitar work, a sound many found difficult to digest with its marching drums - more a sound to obey to, but his songs still gave you a touch of British Empire and somehow made you feel that Britain is still Great Britain indeed. When TRON was headlining the Shepherds Bush Empire, Dejan Djordjevic proved the greatest front man, vocalist and sound Minister on his instruments, in supreme command of his band TRON; the Kitchener of post-modern British Rock music, he is a man of strong and inflexible will, with a genius for organisation. The somewhat immobile nature of his German backing musicians was forgotten in 1999 once he had new session guys from London. Yugoslavian/Serbian born Dejan Djordjevic is polished in manners, courteous and accomplished, speaking English, German and Serbian fluently, although all his songs I heard were sung in English. After divorcing from his second wife, what made him lose his recording studio building and so his self-employment too, Dejan moved from Welling in 2005 and lived near Folkestone; but I think he still experienced very realistically the result of German poisonous plotting, and after another trip to Germany to work on his new songs Dejan has now (27 November 2008) returned to the United Kingdom, England."

Influences

Inspiration; I get sudden brilliant ideas for new music to compose and record. Imagination is more important than knowledge, and is definitely more important than style; and I find it a little bit irritating that for every of my works I upload on the Internet, I have to pigeonhole my songs and treat or classify according to a mental stereotype. When I write my lyrics and compose my music I do not think of style and I am not bound to one style, otherwise I don't think I would have carried on with my music for so long, as it is exactly 30 years since I started creating my own works, back in 1979.

Equipment List

I am creating my sound by playing instruments like Synthesisers (Moog/Sequential/Roland/Oberheim/Solina), Keyboards/E-Piano/Sampler, Acoustic and E-Guitars, E-Drums/Percussion; and I am using computers (digital recording/sequencing/mixing/mastering/editing), a 2"inch 24-track Otari MX-80 tape machine (for additional sound recording with tape compression), mixers, amplifiers, condenser microphones for vocals, and for instruments/percussion (condensers and dynamic mics), as well as effect units (Lexicon PCM-80 and LXP-1, Eventide H-3000 SE), and compressors (TL-Audio 5051 full valve compressor, DBX- and Drawmer M-500 compressor/limiter/gate/de-esser/expander).
