A funky mesh with an Indian sound with some sounds recorded from apps on the iPad - Musyc & iAmBeatBox.

Transgressions

This is about a 2 minute demo from a longer song I just finished working on for my new album.  It's about as close as you can get to dubstep in GarageBand.  But I'm still learning it.  If anybody has any good recommendations for true dubstep programs that are cheap or free, please hook me up!

Please don't sue me Jars of Clay ;) you know I love you!  All credit goes to you!
Just wanted to mess around with my first remix. Never done one before... hope it's ear-worthy ;)
Programs used: Traktor DJ (for the song tweaking), Alchemy (for my own sound recording), Djay (for some mix table editing of the song), and GarageBand to put it all together.

Skin & Bones by Jars of Clay (Daydreams Remix)

Seven minutes of pure relaxation. Wanted to create something I could relax and meditate too, and maybe for you massage therapists out there to use in your sessions.

Electro Magnetic Pulse - Wikipedia describes it as "sometimes called a transient electromagnetic disturbance, is a short burst of electromagnetic energy".  My ex used it to describe how I destroyed various electronics with just a glare.  It was like I had my own EMP that radiated from me and caused lights to flicker and cell phones to go haywire.  My nickname became E.M.P. Girl and it just kinda stuck with me.

After my divorce I turned to music to help me heal, and in doing so I found dubstep.  I had always liked electronic/electronica/trance music (think Orbital or Robert Miles), but this was a new era and this new guy on the scene with the funky name of Deadmau5 intrigued me.  Then I happened upon Skrillex, BassNectar, The Glitch Mob, Doctor P, Motorcycle and one of my absolute favorites, Blackmill.  I became obsessed and wanted to figure out how to do it.  I took a class in GarageBand and fell in love with it.  In the first class I already had a song, but wanted more.  I bought a Mac and started the process of what would eventually lead me to here and now.  It's a mix of different sounds and techniques and even apps on my iPad/iPhone.  It's a learning process.  But most of all, it's fun.  It might not even compare to the greats that I mentioned above, but it doesn't matter to me.  What matters is the art, the purity, the fun, and the healing.  Because music, above all else, is healing.

Now as I deal with the death of my mother and my heartbrokenness over that, I turn to music again.  The E.M.P. Girl EmP EP I released is work from the past 2 years.  I'm not sure what my next one will sound like, but I look forward to start working on it soon.
