I honestly don't really remember how this tune started out.

This tune started as chords on the piano. The kids were playing in the living room, and I was upstairs when this popped into my head.
Another happy accident in the home.

This song started on the my Native Instruments Maschine 1.  It was only bussed to Ableton for “better” mixing and mastering.  It is inspired by an old friend of mine who I played many musical theater jobs with, and a few jazz trio gigs......

This song was inspired by some of the stop animation films my daughter has started creating. This came up after seeing a few of these and being super proud of her.

This might be one of the last tunes that I still have that was started back on Acid. I mean the old music software program by Sonic Foundry. I really used to love that program a lot back in the day.  It was my “go to” tool for building theater cues as a sound designer with multiple layers.  Sonic Foundry also had Sound Forge, which use still.  Both were really fun software before Sony bought them.  Not much really changed immediately after the acquisition, but I was stopped music shortly around that time for a period.

Finally had got this new VST working, and this popped out. That literally was how this song started. The initial working title was "Long Chords". Couldn't think of anything else. It seems that initial naming of something is habitually one of the times when my mind always goes blank. Always. 
This is the 4'th song on my very first EP. The chords just came to me off the top of my head. I remember that the bass design, FX, and automation are largely inspired by an Andrew Huang video, I just don't remember which one. Sorry. You should check his YouTube page regardless. The 4 produces one sample is one particular series I enjoy much. The ride cymbal is thanks to Eric Kummer, in that I know that it is his ride cymbal from our studio space for the band. I came in to record something else, and he had some sticks lying around, and I had microphones. What can I say, other than his drums sound great.

Stretching Too Far

This song was from the Andrew Huang Studio course that I did.  This is the first of the 3 songs that you work on during his course.  I did know about recording instruments a little, so there is a lot of bass in this song.  In fact, at least a 1/3 of the track is from the bass guitar.

This song is totally inspired by my friend Jon Levit
