Bug Music

Inspired by being in a hi-rise in NYC on a foggy day. Created with Ableton Live 10 Standard, Audacity, Novation SK MKIII.

City in the Clouds

One of the earliest Bug tracks. "Get in, make it bounce, get out". The uplifter in the middle is my favorite part.
Version 1.1: Added some effects, tidied up the tracks a bit. Added compression and limited on Master track to reign in the bass.
Version 1.2: Added more effects/compression/etc.

The Uninstall Button

One of the more complicated tracks I put together in the early stages of Bug Music. This track represents my overall idea of a symphony style electronic track: one that is evolving with many different sounds and at the end sound almost like a completely different song than it started out as. Ableton Live 10 Standard, Audacity make up most of the work on this track.

Alicia Synth

One of my first completed tracks and still one of my favorite works. Made with Ableton Live 10 Standard, Audacity.
Version 1.1: Added some effects, editing a few of the clips so they are less chopped off. Adjusted volume levels.

Sarasahara

The Black Cubes, they will come for you.
This song is a mix of a funky bassline, police scanner, and even Ice Cube makes an appearance at the end! Created with Ableton Live 10 Standard and Audacity.
Version 1.2: Adjusted some sample positions & volume levels.

The Black Cubes Part 2

It's a star in the sky. One of my favorite songs that I've made in the last 2 years. Originally the 80's style drums were not in the mix at all, I added those along with the drum fills about a month ago which transformed the song. Primarily created with Ableton Live 10 Standard and Audacity.

TrES - 2BB

First foray into making a more Latin-Electronic style of music. More are in the works. This has actually been Bug Music's most popular track with fans. Created with Ableton Live 10 Standard.

Lemons

Ahua

Worked on adding more fades along with bouncing some tracks to the left and others to the right. Created with Ableton Live 10 Standard, Audacity, Novation SK MKIII, Roland JD-Xi and Moog Minitaur.

Something New

My first real use of my Novation SLMK3 keyboard is in this track. I often have a very difficult time putting a bass line in my tracks. I worked very hard on making the bassline in this track fit, still not sure it works though. Finished with Ableton Live 10 Standard.

29 Chill

One of the earliest Bug tracks, I think this was my first "completed" song that I was actually satisfied with how it turned out. I pulled a bunch of analogue samples together & threw them in a blender.

Analogue Dreams

Analog Dreams

This is (to date) the hardest finished track that I have.
Version 1.2: Reworked most of the first half of the track adding FX, changed beats, etc.

Dont Understand

Pulling in some samples from EPMD back in the 80's, one of the first tracks I used a lot of MIDI implementation on. Created in Ableton Live 10 Standard and Audacity.
Version 1.1: Added more vocal samples
Version 1.2: More samples added, FX tweaked

Fire

Funky bassline dominates this early Bug track. Title based on an obscure dance move once popular in Manchester, England.

Manchester Pusher

Version 1.2: Major beat changes, balanced out the vocal samples, added FX
Version 1.3: More FX added

Drop 22

It took a long time to get all the effects feeling right on this track. Made with Ableton Live 10 Standard.

Ice Seven

For all the Star Wars geeks out there!
Version 1.2: Added some FX and mastering

Dak And Wedge

Another earlier Bug track that I freshened up recently. A bit of a clash of styles, I think the guitars give it some extra flavor from being a straight electronic piece.
Version 1.1 Cleaned up a bit more of the track. Added "Numberstation" vocal sample.

Numbers Station

One of the quieter, calmer tracks from Bug. While not ambient by any means, this is a song I have listened to while falling asleep many times.

Sunlight Starshine

There have been a couple different versions of this song made over the last year, this version I feel is the best one. For a long time this felt like 2 different songs glued together, but I think now it's finally all one coherent piece. The part at 1:45 - 1:51 in I added last, what do you think of it?

Angel One

Welcome to the Neon Motel. Based in New York City, I invite you to check in and chill to some Lo-Fi beats in the Electron Lounge. Bounce to house grooves in the Neon Ballroom. Take a dip in the heated Sexy Synthetic pool. 
Mixing old skool beats with lo-fi sounds, deep house cuts, synthwave and chillwave grooves, you'll never know what you'll hear in each room of the Neon Motel.
