For our Audio Workstations class, we were asked to remix a song off Indaba.com.  I chose the song "Fragile Bird."  This is my remix, complete with organ and bass parts played by me, and all production and mixing is mine, too.  I liked the "lo-fi" effect to the intro guitar part, as well as the reversed, heavily reverbed guitar solo.  My most fun in the studio is creating different sounds out of what's already on tape by adding effects to the dry signals to create some really nice textures.

Laser blast sound effect created by banging a cookie sheet and heavily effecting it with pitch shift, phaser, and chorus.

This is a compilation of button "clicks" I made from simple mouth sounds.  The first is a click made by "clucking" my tongue against the roof of my mouth. The second is simply the word "click" effected with a chorus and pitch shift.  Third, is a button click made by a pop of my lips.  The last is a "double-cluck" of the tongue.

My remix of the BMF Band's "Poor Man's Dream."

Poor Mans Dream Remix

These are lyrics I've had for a long time, but never got around to recording.  I've used various blues progressions, but the standard "I-IV-V" thing works so well!

Next Man

Believe it or not, this started out life as a blues song!  It was a real blast transforming it into a ska tune.  All elements by Bryan Fischer.

Hip Shak'r - Ska Mix

I went Old School James Brown style with this one.  No chord changes, just a groove. 

Hip Shak'r - Funk Mix

Remixed with guitar up, B3 back, and little different horn line in the chorus.

Need Somebody - Final Mix

Need Somebody - Original Mix

My client needed a music bed for her Advanced Motion Graphics project.  Here's what I came up with.  This is all using Logic loops.  I just cut them up and used the parts I wanted in the places I needed them.
