This was a submission for a De La Soul remix contest using only their provided samples with a little added throwback flair.

Come On Down (ECE vs. DLS 3 Feet High and Dying Remix)

An homage & original track of mine using samples from one of the greatest & most innovative Jazz trumpeters of our time.

Miles & Miles

The name says it all. It was a track I started working on right after I got laid off from a job. All of the basslines are played by me & the rest are archived samples.

Laid Off

An original track I made many years ago when I first started dabbling in sample based music production. DJ Shadow was a big influence of mine at the time.

Classy

When i first heard the original track it gave me chills.
I learned how to play it on the ukulele & the snowball started rolling downhill.
Originally it was going to be a minimalist approach, but the layered synths & drums got the best of me.
This is my first completed project using Ableton Live.
It's not really mastered, only leveled by ear.
BTW, disregard my lackluster singing. An octave down from the original was a bit out of my range. It almost sounds like a My Bloody Valentine cover version :P

Cosmic Love (Florence and the Machine - Ukulele Cover Redux)

My homage to one of my favorite musicians, Mark Sandman, from one of my favorite bands, Morphine.
All recorded from real instruments with the exception of a programmed drum track.

Sandman

Hailing from McComb, MS, Ryan Mikell a.k.a. The Eternal Combustion Engine has been dabbling in music & music production for 20 + years.

Residing in Gulf Breeze, FL, I am currently producing independently in my spare time.

I also enjoy performing other kinds of music, playing bass, & making racket with various other types of instruments & noisemakers.
