Welcome To Our City

February 13th, 2009

[Audio clip: view full post to listen] 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 [...]

A Milli Of The Near Future

January 31st, 2009

[Audio clip: view full post to listen] A Milli Of The Near Future Here is a mashup of Li’l Wayne – A Milli and Klaxons – It’s Not Over Yet. This is a good example of playing a naturally slow a capella at double speed with a song at regular speed. In most cases the [...]

Post-apocalyptic Nightlife

December 9th, 2008

I rarely make slow and quiet songs. In an effort to stretch my boundaries I created this song. It features a reversed vocal sample, and liberal use of delay. I added lots of clicking with Ableton’s vinyl distortion effect. I also used a percussion sample, triggered semi-randomly, which was hooked to a random velocity effect.  It [...]
