Three-Headed Monkey (Swordmaster's Please, LucasArts, Don't Sue Us Remix)

This is a work in progress, but not really sure where it is going. I've always had the idea of using a track starting with a Sinclair Spectrum tape load tone, and then the music coming in over the tape noise. The other old school computer game noises were from a Computer Music magazine sample disc. One sounds like Space Invaders!

I'm happy to hear any comments or views on this track.

Jamiroquai - Too Young To Die (Furious Dad Remix)

I've been making electronic music on/off a number of years, but have only really started getting into it around 2010.

As you can probably tell from my tracks and their titles, I'm a big fan of old school computers, and previously owned a Spectrum and an Amiga. I experimented with music composition and production on them both, but very naively!

My first proper forays were made using software like eJay and Music 2000 (on the PS2!). I tried Cubase, but couldn't get the hang of it, and it nearly put me off production altogether! I play guitar and bought the Novation Nio audio interface in order to record my strummings on my laptop. There was a free DAW with it called Ableton Live Lite. This blew my mind at how easy it was to construct a track and manipulate sounds. I bought Live Intro, and have now upgraded to Live 8 (as of 2012).

Other equipment I use:

* MacBook Pro
* AKG Musik Hall headphones
* M-Audio Oxygen 25 USB MIDI controller
* Alesis interface
* iPad Air
* Various apps and software, including Ignite, NanoStudio and Audacity

I also use a variety of sample packs from the fantastic Computer Music magazine, as well as from labels such as Loopmasters and Time + Space.

I hope you enjoy my experimentations, and I would welcome any comments/critiques. I am still getting used to mixing, and any advice would be welcome!

As well as music tracks, I've also produced a radio jingle for my friend's BBQ business.

If you wish to collaborate on a project, would like a composition for a project, or would like a remix of your track, please inbox me. Looking forward to working with you!
