Really need to do something with this. Have a filthy groove while you wait.

Filthy Groove

Not at all happy with the mix, but it's been sitting on my hard drive for years. First Whaleheart recording. Now there's a thing.

Whaleheart - Skull Master

New mix, totally overhauled drum sound, and a new section that I am rather pleased with.

TSE X50 Test 2

Couldn't resist uploading this one. Grooo-veh.

Arabian Tech

Aquatic Ambience

Sundrone

Okay, so I lied when I said that the previous recording would be my last mix of this song... In fairness, I wasn't expecting David to get in touch to inform me of his intention to record REAL DRUMS for it!

I'm immensely indebted to David both for writing and recording the drum parts and for his considerable input into the final mix, which is miles apart from the first version I sent him back in January. Awesome to work with real drums for once. Anyway, hope you enjoy the results!

No Escape [2012 - feat. David Schneider]

This is a tune written by a friend called Steve Jones many, many moons back. Been wanting to re-record it for a good 4 or 5 years now and finally put the effort in. Still love it dearly and am a lot happier with this than the original recording!

Download on SoundCloud is in FLAC format, or there's an MP3 available here: http://bit.ly/Ackjw0

Drawchestra - Dazed Reflection (Chilled)

Finally getting somewhere with this - at the moment I'm thinking of leading into a riff based on the clean section, then repeating the chorus section before going into the various riffs from the previous version. That might be clear as mud, but will try and get more down when I'm not horribly behind on work.

And it turns out that recording the Blackstar is far more fun than it ever was with the Pod, haha. Barely any post-processing on this, compared to the mounds of turd-polishing I had to indulge in previously.

EDIT: Oh, forgot to say, it's also in B-Gb-B-E-Gb-B now, partly because I was tuned to B when I started working on it, and partly because lower = better.

IHWT - New Version

Same tune as "Doomy Mix Test", but a fairly heavily edited mix. I'm a lot happier with the drum sounds for this one, and have added a few ambience-boosters to tie the mix together. This is absolutely nothing to do with Doom II.

Doom II: Hell on Earth

Spent the weekend working on the track that was up here in a previous incarnation as 'TSE X50 Test 2'. Partly using it as a means of working on my mix, but have also written a new section which I'm really pleased with.

(Edited 15/8/12 with a few additional parts and a fair bit of work on the mix.)

Signwork [Demo]

Felt like having a shot at recording my new Tele, and just learnt the intro to 'Electric Gypsy' by Andy Timmons this afternoon, so figured I'd give it a shot! Signal chain is Tele into Blackstar HT Club 40, with a bit of reverb and some light compression added in Ableton.
