Odd time signatures & extreme delays

I've posted four videos in the past week!

Here's a demo of the most extreme delay effect ever:

And an ambient piece I made with it:

Aircraft Hangar Remix + OP-Z

Hey team! 

This is maybe my favorite vlog I've ever made - went to Berlin to work with Native Instruments, which was really cool in itself, but then there were so many adventures! Watch here and download the huge amount of music from the video here.

Music production tips!

Hey everybody! Here are two videos in an ongoing series I'll be doing about different parts of the music production process for people wanting to learn more about that. I've gotten into it a little bit in various videos over the years but it seemed like it would be useful to nice packaged content around certain concepts.

Where to begin with making music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXnVp2zLTYY

Superfast Beatmaking & Ringtones

The new instalment of SUPERFAST BEATMAKING is here and I think this one turned out pretty neat! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjFPdBujnvw

Also, very exciting moment for me, I was hired by Samsung to create some ringtones and notification sounds that are going in all their newly released Galaxy Note 9 phones! Made a video where you can hear the sounds and learn how I made them: 2018-08-13 20:14:09 +0000 UTC View Post

Weird alien instrument!

Hey team! Just one video this week but a whole bunch of new music!

For the second instalment of WEIRD GEAR I'm looking at the Folktek Mescaline, a unique, beautiful, strangely designed, unpredictable synthesizer / drum machine / sequencer ?? I think??

Making a song in 55 minutes

Two new songs for you today!

Writing songs with cats and candy

Hey team! Just a quick post to let you know about my last two videos. I thought my song "Chase" needed some explaining because the lyrics are so weird, and I also delved a bit into the song's composition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UD7hOq_nuUY

And I was approached for a sponsorship by a candy company so I used it as an opportunity to demonstrate some ways to generate musical ideas or get around writer's bl...

Gibberish!

Well howdy dears, 

Two videos up this week!

Second, a thing I came up with for fun to help with writer's block, that actually led to a pretty nice song! Watch here and download the song 2018-04-20 22:23:14 +0000 UTC View Post

4 Producers 1 Sample / Time for a break

I am SO INCREDIBLY PROUD of this new video format - 4 Producers Flip the Same Sample. It's everything I want in my channel - celebrating creativity, collaborating with friends, supporting smaller artists, and of course, sharing a bunch of great music and the processes behind it. Hope you enjoy. I plan on coming back to this type of video every couple months with different producers. :)

59 minute challenge / Akemie's Taiko

Hey team!

A lot of folks have been asking me to do a video where I patch something from scratch on my modular synth, so that was the bulk of Monday's video - though I also kick it off with an overview of one of my new favorite modules, Akemie's Taiko! Watch here. 

Second video this week is a response to Rob Scallon's recent "Making a song in an hour" where I decided to one up him...by one minute......

FM Synth craziness!

Hey team!

Elektron sent me a Digitone and I figured it would be fun to explore in a video as I've been making lots of tracks with it! Check that out here. 

Several comments mentioned that my explanation of FM synthesis from that video should be broken out into its own piece of content, so I did that for yesterday's video which is 2018-02-23 23:20:36 +0000 UTC View Post

THAT'S A WEIRD DROP

So on Monday I was trying to finish a song and got sidetracked into sampling a bunch of people from Twitter. 

And then I thought for today's video I would share all the editing tricks that went into that! 

Unfortunately it means I don't have a download of the music for you as it's still in super rough shape. A lo...

Piano drop.

My friend Simon came by an old piano that was gonna be junked so he smashed it first.

Considering how little of a plan I went into this with ("Let's use this sound of a piano smashing on the ground!") I really like how the music came out!
