Way back in 2005 I created a music album full of little tunes I threw together in Apple Soundtrack. Revisiting the store where I kept it I was kinda amazed at how nice some of the tunes sounded. I called it “In Your Face And Out of Time” and all except three songs were made completely using loops in Soundtrack.

The other three songs (Wonder, Doom and Dreams) were recorded onto a little Yamaha keyboard (Wonder uses backing from one of the keyboard’s song styles). It’s kind of a neat little album, and I encourage you to check it out if you’re interested in indie electronica.
