Laptop Lounge
 Performed a live music set in Edinburgh from Tokyo via the interweb yesterday. Laptop Lounge is a regular event in Edinburgh encouraging laptop and bedroom producers to meet up and perform and exchange ideas, dance and check each others sounds. Initially had thought of using Hobnox for the performance though seemed pretty limited for live streaming, so we opted for skype instead. Had the video up and running audio was syncing nicely....Waved to the crowd and a huge cheer and buzz went around the club (or so I was told) Was the legendary Kovac about to make a rare appearance after his 6 years of semi retirement There were rumours he had been experimenting with a midi clarinet!? Well, I had as ever prepared the music just for the performance, no rehashes or mixes, all new material as is my rule for live sets, unfortunately 15 minutes into the set...skype failed us and so did the laptop streaming my performance...ah c'est la vie maybe a little longer till the 90's revival. =) Click here for a recording of the "intended" set. |

Ez-Jungler
I've been listening to a lot of Drum n Bass this week, late 90's Bukem,E-z Rollers type stuff so had a little go doing my own breaks in Reason.
I still adhere to the "no one loop" or "no loop longer than 2 seconds" rule for my music, even though its very tempting with Reasons Rex tool and Recycle to just take a break and re arrange a little and et viola a "song".
Therefore according to my imposed "rules" here's 4 breaks, totally spliced and rearranged, a pitch bend in places with an TR808 congo and hihat percussion over the top.
Of course it has "Chords" also; 10 secs taster. Click here to play

Desert Island Disks
In keeping with the current trend of "25 things about me", "25 favourite albums",etc that seem to be about on Facebook these days I was just thinking what would my "desert island disks" be ?
Desert_Island_Disks
(For those that don't know, an interesting radio show where guests picked they're favorite 8 pieces of music they would choose if stranded on a desert island.)
Originally, only 8 songs, but lets bend the rules a bit; In no order of preference here are my top 25 Desert Island Disks and why....

aaaaright
Been getting quite used to using Reason now instead of Cubase, its not too bad for just putting together quick ideas.
Here's my recent effort; only 20 or so seconds, just a brief taster
Not Great, but good enough.Click here to play

Music on the move
Everyone loves the Nintendo DS for its innovative game play and
touchy feely family oriented games, but if the guys at Nintendo had
thought of doing something like this, it would be a winner for all us budding on the move music composers.
Based on the old Amiga "Tracker" music making concept, the loading
of wav samples and playing via an on screen keyboard, it seems the DS
dual screens was almost designed for this purpose, the top screen
showing "notation" arrangement and the touch screen for user controls
and keyboard.
I'm off out to buy a CF/SD-Card so I can get this running on my DS ASAP.
CF/SD, DS, ASAP ? - I gotta cut down on my acronyms, they're raising my BP and TMTLA rate beyond EU health levels...
