C-sharp minor: Woman of Mystery

I recorded a track by track explanation of each track from the "Songs To Break Up To" EP. Hopefully it gives you some insight on how and why it was made.
To me, it was more than just a musical project & i hope you felt that. I ramble a little so i made it a free download. 

I want to thankyou everyone who has supported the EP in their own way. 
Truly humbled and appreciative of it all. Much love.

INTERVIEW : SongsToBreakUpTo

As part of Berlin's Social Media Week, Ninjatune founder and member of A/V group Coldcut, Matt Black and Gerhard Behles, CEO of Ableton and former member of Monolake were hosted by Peter Kirn, editor of createdigitalmusic.com 

From the SMW programme: "It’s impossible to talk about music today without talking about production. If recording robbed music of its democratic aspect, digital production has made it democratic and performative again. But how do you cope with that new-found global overabundance? To answer that question, we’re joined by two of the people who have been deeply involved with the evolution of modern audiovisual performance on machines.

Gerhard Behles and Matt Black have each had a hand both as artists and technologists in the way in which music today is made. Behles was co-founder of the musical act Monolake, ground-breaking artists who would even release a Max patches alongside a record, before becoming co-founder and CEO of Ableton. With millions of users, Ableton Live (and now Push) have helped transform the use of computers in music making and performance.

Matt Black’s own career has parallels – half of the music duo Coldcut, his VJamm software pioneered live computer visuals. He is co-founder of NinjaTune, and on both the artist and label side has had enormous influence on music and technology alike. One of the first to make use of games and interactive media, he’s again challenging the notion of what makes a record with iOS remix app Ninja Jamm."
