The other day I went outside to throw something in the garbage and I noticed that the big tree in the back alley was full of birds. The birds sounded really cool so I grabbed my Ipod and a stereo mic and recorded them for a couple minutes. Then I put it into Live and recorded a few guitar parts, some bass and saxophone. Tonight I was doing a bit of editing and clean-up on the track, so I figured I’d leave the drums turned off so it wouldn’t drive the people upstairs bonkers (with all the stopping and starting, editing can be really annoying to listen to). I thought it sounded pretty good sans drums, so I did a mix without them. Check it out here.

This is a new track that I just finished making on Sunday. Tempo is 123 and percussion wise, I’d say it’s house, but there are arpeggiated parts that are quite trancey. No doubt someone has come up with a name to describe this particular style. Anyhow, check it out…enjoy!

Fender Bender

This is a track that I made in two stages (to hear it, click on the link above the picture). It started out as an ’80s style pop-R&B sort of piece. I played sax, guitar and a 1965 Fender Jazz Bass on it. I liked how some parts sounded but not others, so I sampled the parts that I liked and used them to make the version that I posted here, which is more of a house track. Hope you like it!
