Live Performances/Demos/Ideas

This is the first "A-side" I made with my OP-1.  Features samples from Salt n Pepa and random gibberish.  The last bit  (about 4:15) was recorded sitting on a rock by a stream (the stream was sampled of course), ah the joys of portability.

One Day- OP-1 a-side

A mellow, sparse instrumental made by resampling an arpeggiated chord using the new Max for Live Kasio instrument and the AfroDJMac Operator Glitch Drums.  

Praying Mantis

Here's a track I made using samples from the Commodore 64 drum kit I put together recently with http://www.BedroomProducersBlog.com  I decided to make some music using those drums after the passing of Jack Tramiel.  It's  little tribute and a welcoming to the next phase of life...

 You can have a free Ableton Live Download of those drums here:  http://bit.ly/freesynth51

Thanks and enjoy!

Substitution (Live 8.9.12)

"All of My Life (I Have Been Waiting For You)" was recorded outside in a screen house around midnight 8/18/12 on Long Island, New York.  Written and recorded by AfroDJMac and SuperKid.  Recorded on the Teenage Engineering OP-1, using its internal microphone for guitars, vocals, and percussion.  Keyboard added inside Ableton Live with the AfroDJMac CP-35 Pack (free download of that instrument here: http://bit.ly/freesynth9)  

Lyrics:

It's alright Tonight
You'll be home before long
All of my life I have been waiting for you
When I'm alone I dream of you
Before you go make sure you know
All of my life I have been waiting for you
