I came up with a cool riff on the Roland TB-03.  Then started to expand instruments for more full sound.  Not everything you hear is always as it seems!

Analogue Prophets - Nova Explosion

Classic house-inspired jam in Ableton Live Suite 11 with Push controller(plus week-long tinkering in Live with automation and effects).

The title is a working title and was just my reminder to press record and just start something.

Ableton Live Suite 11
Ableton Push controller (first version w/ Akai)
Roland Cloud TR-909
Roland Cloud TR-707
Roland Cloud XV-5080 (just for 3 percussion samples)

Zombie Cages

there's an army in the desert, on the other side of the subconscious landscape.  this is what they sound like.

After a 2 year hiatus, I got a new Midi Controller! I'm a little rusty but this is the first thing that popped out.

Bones (feat. Emma Zander)

I created this track in December of 1999,  It was right after I had bought my first Roland TR-909.  The track uses the TR-909, TR-606. TB-303, MC-202, SH-101, and JP-8000.  No computers were used here accept for Recording directly in Sound Forge at the time.  I like using the gear to make music not looking at a PC screen and all kinds of VST plug in's.  Yes I am old school.

A Trip Into Analogue

This is a complete live set I did back in 2000.  I played live for an hour using a Roland TR-909, 2xTB-303's, Alpha Juno 1. a MC-307, and a Peavy mixer.  No computers were used!  All live gear live set on the fly!

Analogue Prophet Live Baltimore Maryland 2000

Electronic- I don't care what it takes to make a track as long as it's electronic: spaghetti, dread-locked tangles of patch cables, ridiculous VST plug-ins, feedback loops, external effects, old-school analog synthesizers or iPad apps.  You might find noise and experimental "tracks" here, live PA, maybe some ambient, downtempo, trance or analog drones.

What you definitely *will* find: Roland TB-303, Roland MC-202, Roland Alpha-Juno 1, Moog Rogue, Dave Smith MoPho, Korg Kronos, Korg microKORG, Alesis Micron, Akai MPC-1000, Ableton Push.

Lately I've been getting more into house music and early acid house which clearly shows in my newer compositions.  I've been migrating from Logic to Ableton Live but I do like to keep up with production and mixing/remixing in both.  The Ableton Push controller makes the composition part fun again ;-)  Regardless of the DAW, it's still amazing to be able to get hands-on with patch creation, performing parts and massaging the flow of a track with outboard gear (especially analogs :-)!) and dedicated controllers.
