Video: Disrupter + Memeshift Live PA

April 25, 2010

Tagged as: Ableton, circuit bent, live, live pa, techno, TR-707

This was a live set that I webcasted with my friend David (a.k.a. Disrupter). It was really spur of the moment and features David’s custom circuit-bent TR-707 and Korg Electribe ER-1. I was using Ableton Live 5.1 along with a Behringer BCD-3000.
Most all of it is live and improvised along with a [...]

Tagged as: Ableton, Downloads

Short track I worked on this week. Just a demo – raw and unfinished. I was inspired by a sweet dj mix my friend Alex Brandmeyer made (he had excellent track selection). Bug him for it.

How to Start Making Electronic Music

I love electronic music. I love making it, listening to it, promoting it and of course, helping other people create it. While I didn’t write these myself, I thought I’d share some helpful PDF manuals and guides I’ve compiled to get you started.
In writing this, I’m also assuming that readers have some kind of multi-track [...]

Track: All Good – Memeshift mix

November 30, 2008

Tagged as: Ableton, Downloads, dubulator, fwdthought, remix

This was a track I remixed off of my good friend Louis’s Dubulator project. This particular brand of Louis’ music is harder – and of course dubbier – than his more pastoral pieces under fwdthought. You can listen to my remix in this post, or download the original track, ‘All Good’ here. You’ll also [...]

I love Ableton . I’d probably swear by it as a compositional and performance tool. As far as multi-track recording, I’m sure there are some better ones, but Ableton Live is not really about that – it’s about performing and having the most intuitive interface for expressing your musical ideas. That’s why [...]

DJ Mix: I <3 Weird Techno

June 28, 2008

Tagged as: Ableton, dj mix, Downloads, rave, techno, Tijuana

I <3 Weird Techno was made after a night of obtuse raving in Tijuana, Mexico on the roof of a squatted parking lot. There were holes in the concrete roof with exposed rebar and rubble everywhere we danced. With the intense laser show, 2 story high video screen and e’ed up kids everywhere, [...]

Track: Gutter

April 9, 2008

Tagged as: Ableton, Downloads, food stamps

Track I made today after spending nearly the whole day waiting in the Oakland Social Services office for foodstamps. Humbling and frustrating at the same time.
I don’t think this song is really connected to it. In fact, it’s not. I was feeling pretty mellow and simultaneously inspired.
Enjoy.

Track: The Dark Crytal

April 13, 2004

Tagged as: Ableton, Downloads, Jim Henson, pirate, samples, The Dark Crystal

Yes, it is spelled in correctly. This song is partially dedicated to my friend Flynn Witmeyer. He once had a box that he kept his ‘Dark Crytal’ in. He had gotten a hold of a label maker when young and labeled a box of his after his favorite movie.
