Whaddup world,

Long time no see!
My friend Demetri and I made this song a while back.
I never posted it because I was self-conscious about my voice and my beat and whatnot...
But I listened again and it slaps :)
Shoutout Meach for being supportive all along!

Peace and Love,

-Mac

Hey Ya’ll,

Long time no see. Life has been pretty good. Lots of changes happening now and always, but music remains a constant source of joy in my life.
Here’s a fun little beat I made this winter.
Keep radiating that positive energy :)

Hello, World!

This is my first attempt at creating an original Rap/Hip-hop beat. This is the very first step of a very long journey. Much more to come. Hope you enjoy!

Much love,

Mac

Sup ya'll,

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving! I personally found myself in good spirits and great company. May I present you with this weekend's music project. I'd have to say I am getting much better at producing. Still have a lot to learn, but I am stoked about my progress. Thank you for listening!

Haven't been rapping much recently, but I really do enjoy making these beats. This one is short, sweet, and to the point. Enjoy!

CheckThisOut

Hey there,

I saw a video of a guy playing a song from Avatar the Last Airbender on a Kalimba. Decided to sample it. Let me know what you think!

What's good ya'll,

Man, I have really been enjoying this music thing recently. It seems that my hard work is paying off too. This beat was made on a dark and rainy night, hence the dark and gloomy beginning. Eventually I had to throw in some more lighthearted sounds to even things out. I am really proud of the final result. More to come!

DarkNight

Hi friends,

It is a beautiful day. I woke up this morning and began playing some guitar on my back porch. Found a couple good sounds, got out my recording stuff, and put this song together. Hope you enjoy!

Sup ya'll,

Peace and love,

Obstacles (Instrumental)

Howdy y'all,

Hope you had a fun and safe 4th of July. I spent mine flipping like crazy. My body is still very tired, but nothing is hurting me too bad so I am thankful for that. I even found some down time to whip up this new song! It is chill, pretty, and I like it a lot. Let me know what you think!

Stay motivated,

-Mac

SafeTravels

Holy cow!

You guys will never believe what I just made. I was messing around in Ableton today when I discovered a sound that reminded me of Marshmello. Quite literally spent the next 10 hours straight making this Mello-inspired song. Totally worth it! This is one of the coolest things I have ever made! Enjoy!

Peace and Love,

-Mac

MacMello

Sup y'all,

Here is a super chill beat for you. It's short, but beautiful; kind of a reference to the evanescence of life. Hope you like it!

-Mac

IntoNothing

Wassup ya'll!

I'm at home with a gnarly sprained ankle right now. It doesn't hurt half as bad as it looks, but I'm bummed that I can't get up out of the house. Reading and making beats in the meantime. This one turned out pretty dope!

Stay Funky,
-Mac

TheBroadcast

What's up ya'll!

How have you been? Things have been pretty good for me.
Some exciting news, my sister just had a baby! Circle of life man... crazy stuff! lol
More exciting news, I just bought a new MIDI and it's dope! I'm excited to keep playing and keep learning.
Anyway, here is a new track I made this week.
Guitar, piano, drums, and some of those marshmello-y sounds that I love. Hope you like it!

Peace and love,

-Mac

NotSoHard

Wassup Ya'll!

I was fiddling around on the guitar the other day and came up with this dope melody. Filtered it up, added some drums, crushed the crap out of it, and voila! Turned out sounding pretty dang good! Feel free to rap over it and message me if you ever want to collab.

Peace and Love,

-Mac

SpicyThai (Instrumental)

What up groovy people,

How has life been?

I was making music in the attic one night when one of my hausmates, Big Will, came up with his guitar. Turns out he is mighty fine at pluckin the strings, and I got him to lay down some funky fresh guitar over one of my beats. So without further ado, I give you... BigWill!

Enjoy,

-Mac

Hello again friends,

I was having trouble sleeping last night so I decided to watch some YouTube videos about music production.
I picked up a few good tips about chord progressions and making smooth transitions, and I immediately wanted to test them out for myself.

Within 10 minutes, I was so excited with how the track was sounding that I ended up staying up all night to finish it.

(Note: It is important to sleep, kids)

Anyway, here is my new track Hope you enjoy!

-Mac

What's up world,

Long time no see. Hope ya'll have been doing well.

Life updates:
I got a new job and I'm doing yoga everyday.

Not much else is new... but here is a sample of what I've been working on

Backstory:
I showed my hausmate Blake one of my beats and he decided to riff all over it. Added some finishing touches and bam! Free samples.
Thanks Blake :)

Anyway, that's all for today.

Peace and Love,

-Mac

FreeSamples (Ft. Blake)

Hey fam,

I'm back with another beat!
It's far off from my usual style, but I wanted to experiment with those wild electronic sounds that I love. And I gotta say, I think it turned out pretty raw! I even threw a little "Backpack Mac" tag in there.

I've never considered any of my beats to be "bangers", but I promise to keep working at it. Anyway, thanks for tuning in!

Stay wonderful,

-Mac

BackpackMac

What's good ya'll?

Mac here, coming at ya with a fresh new hip hop beat.
This week I worked on improving my use of hi-hats and I got to play around with a new hip-hop sub. I'm never sure how much bass I can use without overdoing it. Hopefully this is a good balance. My musical journey continues! Hope you enjoy.

Stay positive,

-Mac

BringMeDown (Instrumental)

Sup ya'll,

I've been playing a lot of guitar recently. Came up with a cool chord progression, added some drums and bass, and voila.
Hope you like this one!

Hi friends,

Well, I think it's about time I officially released this track. I've been sittin on it for months tricking myself into thinking it wasn't ready. But today I thought, 'screw it', it sounds good enough to me...

First and foremost, I have to thank Avicii.
He was a great producer and a huge source of inspiration for me.
I am honored to be reworking one of his great pieces.
And boy let me tell ya these vocals were super fun to work with.
I don't get do vocals often, so this was fun way to get some practice in with that. Anyway, here it is!
Hope you enjoy. As always, let me know what ya think!

Have a great Thanksgiving! :)

Peace and Love,

-Mac
