Download "Untitled" by clicking on this link. I finished this track back in early January of this year, but neglected to post it. This is an untitled piece of music created using a Roland TR-909, an Alesis Andromeda, a host of Native Instruments plugs, and Logic Pro as the sequencer. It’s a fairly ambient piece of music with somewhat subdued beats. I hope you enjoy it.

Download "Shaman Trance (Past, Present, Future Perfect Remix)" here. I quickly listened to this track upon receiving the original last week. It was like finding a long lost friend. After reviewing it once or twice, I found myself wondering what I could do with it almost ten years later. The original had a lot of problems: The recording was horrible and full of static, the kick drum was on the up beat, etc. I imported the mp3 copy of it in to Ableton Live 6 and got to work. I wanted to update this track, but at the same time I wanted it to retain the quirkiness and flaws that made the track what it was. I think I accomplished that goal quite well. I'm very happy with how this, my first remix project has turned out. All of the the sounds from the original are still in the mix. I've added some new sounds here and there- but not too many. I resampled the bassline and brought it in earlier in the track. Finally, I sped up the tempo from 90 to 120 beats per minute. Play this one as loud as you can, it's hard to appreciate any other way. |

Download this track. I've finally finished a new track, after a creative dry spell that lasted almost three years. The track is entitled "Cheers Bitches!" The last thing I was expecting to create was a 4/4 dance track, but that's what came out nonetheless. This is my first track that I've completed using Ableton Live despite owning it for many years. No other instruments or software was used. The track features many random, and semi-random sounds. I paid particular attention toward trying to emphasizing harmonics and resonance in the vocal sample. The sample is used under the Creative Commons license, and comes from here. The track itself can be downloaded here. |
