Valentine's Day

This song was created using acoustic guitar, a Nintendo Entertainment System using MidiNES, synths, samples, and excitement about a blooming relationship. It was recorded in Ableton Live and mixed to a Tascam reel to reel to help warm the sound.
lyrics
Don't it feel good me and you 
We got the kind of love that is true 
Late at night when the people get lonely 
I got you to call my one and only 

Oh baby, man it's going to be 
B and C down in history 
We'll take a boat to a private island 
So it's only just you and me 

Hold me 
Baby 
All through the night 

Oh honey the feeling I get 
When I see you is never second best 
Makes me wanna dance and sing so loudly 
Grab my guitar and play it proudly 

Don't it feel good me and you

B and C Down in History

Live acoustic performance by AfroDJMac and SuperKid of "All of My Life."

All Of My Life (Live Acoustic Cafe)

This is a little song about the crazy lengths one might go to to prove their love to their girl. 

I would rather throw my money in the fire
And all of my things to show I'm no liar
I would drive my car right off of the highest bridge
I would let my body be bashed into a billion bits.
I'd rather take my life
And cut it with a knife
I would rather die than ever leave you
I'd rather get a gun 
And prove to everyone
That I would rather die than ever leave you
I'd never leave you

I tried to recreate the beautiful Univox bass guitar on this track by sampling it and building this Free Ableton Live Pack.   

I'd Never Leave You

This song was made using Teenage Engineerings OP-1 and Ableton Live.  It started by turning on the OP-1s FM radio and randomly sampling the drum breakdown from "Head to Toe" by Lisa Lisa (lucky!) and bits from a classical piano performance (I may never know what it is called).  From there I built the beat, made a bassline from my Nintendo Rack ( http:bit.ly/freesynth6 ), used the OP-1 for some synth sounds, layered on vocals and even played a little melodica.  Big shout out to G$ and Big C! 

Yours Tonight  -Ableton and Op-1 jam

This track was recorded on the OP-1.  I realized last  night that you can use the mic to record anything into the tape recorder, so I played guitar and sang right into it.  

Come on Home OP-1

This is a little acoustic track recorded on the OP-1 during the most brutal heatwave ever (I think).  Everything was recorded right into the built in mic on the OP-1 and you can hear the summer bugs bugging out on the vocal tracks.  Those bugs were pissed because it's so hot out. 

Always Mine/Always Yours OP-1

Recorded on the Teenage Engineering OP-1, using its internal microphone for guitars, vocals, and percussion.

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
