Duration: 5 min 7 s
Description: This one was done entirely in Ableton 9, using its own synths. Also I used a couple of layered Novation BassStation plug - ins for the bassline. Starts off hard then drops into a long and dreamy breakdown, where the three synth arpeggios play off against each other with filter sweeps. Builds up into a euphoric melee in A minor, then releases back into the hard phsy-trance style beats.

My latest set, been a while coming I actually laid this down a few months ago but have only just done the final mixdown and master. The tracks are chosen for their interesting sound design.... a few of the tracks come from digweeds last few compilations... and a few of them are just new stuff I have come across... Maetrik gets in yet again as the first track... some cool sample work there by the american on "the entity", followed by my own mash up of "drink to get drunk"... then the serious banger that is "sweet willy" haha sounds a bit gay... Max cooper finally gets a look in with his incredible "Symphonica", a few tracks by diverse artists with inspired sampling and synthesis... Enjoy!

THE CENTRAL COAST SESSIONS

The first working cut of my latest track. This little beauty builds and builds tension all the way through, with a funky tech - house / electro vibeThis is UNMASTERED so headphones only, im afraid its just a demo. Reasons Thor, Native instruments Massive, and of course Ableton Lives own Synthesisers... Analog and Operator are all involved. Several samples and sampling techniques are at work also, and the vocoder.. Needs a lot of work.... I still have to bounce down the tracks from 21 into a logical bussing arrangement... only then will I be able to master it properly. Not 100 percent settled on the general structure yet. 

HELLO COMPUTER (rough cut)

This is the mastered trance style mix of my track "Harmonic Electronix". I started writing a track in A minor, about four months ago, and it has evolved from a simple live midi controller set into a trancey style track. Since my original demo version, I have stripped it down... heavily remixed it, ditched the orchestral samples and used my own synth in their place, reworked the top end both arrangement and effects, and reworked the effects rigs in general.  For the production geeks... here is a brief rundown of the setup used:

SYNTHS: 4 * NATIVE INSTRUMENTS MASSIVE, 2 * REASON THOR + REASON EFFECTS RIG, 2* ABLETON OPERATOR. 6 SAMPLE TRACKS. ABLETON EFFECTS AND MASTERING.

ACT OF FREEDOM

On soundcloud I have a mixture of my studio sets... mostly techno and tech-house, and a selection of my own tracks that I have played around with in the last couple of years. I have tried to do a few different styles of my own tracks so far, still learning a lot about how to put tracks together. I will soon have my set-up put together again in my new place and be working on some new stuff.

My set up includes Reason 5, Ableton Live 8, Audacity 2, Native Instruments Massive, Novation BassStation. On the hardware side of things I'm using a Behringer BCR2000, Novation 25SL, M-Audio Axiom 48, Novation SLZero, Novation nio for the sound hardware.
