This beat was originally just an exercise with side chain compression, using Reason 4.  It samples the Microphones on the drum track, and also some Kraftwerk keyboards.

Dark As A Dungeon

This song was an experiment with acoustic recording, vocal harmony, and singing. It features a guitar, three voice tracks, and a ukulele. I didn’t plan the vocal harmonies beforehand. Instead I punched in and out a lot until I found something that I liked. I’m glad I don’t have to mine coal. [...]

hey everyone this is my new sound. I think it might be a rap beat. I hope you don’t mind it’s not in english. I think one of the most important asspects of this music blog is our workout stats. So, i hope you will be impressed by the fact that while you might think [...]

Welcome To Our City
The perfect song exists outside of time, floating in the ether. It is an ever receding target. It takes two steps away for my every one, and hides behind the trees of self-doubt, and perfectionism. The only way to catch a glimpse of that beast is to forget that it exists. I [...]

“I’m in Luv (Wit a Stripper)” by T-Pain vs. “Tiny Dancer” by Elton John

I had the idea for this mashup a while ago, and at that point the idea was mostly conceptual (stripper/dancer).  It wasn’t until I first overlayed the two songs that I realized how perfectly they fit together.  They have essentially the [...]
