this is my entry for the Peter Gabriel remix contest over at Indaba. i wasn’t familiar with the original at first (though after 7 straight days of work i could probably recreate it myself), but the idea was immediate. the female vocal melody and the pseudo-rap delivery in the verses lent the song to electro [...]
so i’m posting this…i don’t even know why i’m posting this, it’s sort of the songwriting equivalent of drunk dialing. this is the demo i produced for my final project in my songwriting course. the title of this post is from an episode of the Penny Arcade podcast, a quote that was running through my [...]
here it is, my first completed track in ableton live. it’s about a week old now, and i was sort of back and forth between going back and making more changes…but i think i should just let it go.
it’s ambient (the “easy” genre), made with fancy synth patches i made in Sylenth (my favourite synth [...]
as you can see i have not been very active at all in terms of making music. my roommate has been getting really into producing, staying up way too late working on a track, waking up again, and getting right back to it. i almost can’t remember that feeling. i’ve spent the better part of [...]

so this is awesome. Nikolai, an independent emcee out of Australia, has just dropped his debut album on Alcatrax Records. i just got the cd in the mail. i did the beat for the album’s third single, ‘This Haze’. i was going for a sort of Dr. Dre vibe with the string stabs and a [...]
I don’t know if I made it clear in my last post about Mr. J. Medeiros, but I really like Of Gods and Girls. This is a remix I made of ‘Her Wings’. It isn’t a huge departure from the original, aside from the chorus which definitely gives the song a different energy.
Sample is from [...]
I had a goal this year which was basically to make one song every week and stick to it for the whole year. I ended up doing it for a couple months until I realized nobody was really listening so I stopped. Now that I have this website and I know there are at least [...]
been experimenting with dance music stuff lately, learning synthesis and other super fun things. came up with a neat little riff on the bass and this track came out of it. it’s short and simple, but i like it :]. reminds me of that blur song for some reason. is that just me?

I feel like a lot of the time my best stuff is made by accident.This song (hopefully) sounds similar to Boards of Canada (hence the title) — I’d actually been trying to recreate the sounds they use for a while, but it was only when I stopped trying that I actually came close. It’s really [...]
