This track was made with my Meld Ableton Live Presets - https://brianfunk.com/meld

I recorded some banging on paint cans and ran that through XLN's Live plug-in to get the percussion. Then I played the Meld preset, followed by acoustic drums, Fender Bass VI, and Fender Telecaster. All were completed in an hour during a Music Production Club Live Meeting.

MPC Weekly Music Mission - Week1.  
Prompt: Use a few household items as instruments.  
Theme: Resourceful.  
I used a book as my kick sound, two cd cases as my snare sound, and metal measuring cups as my hats.  I also used a sequence from the MiniFreak titled "thinker slide" and my Gibson Les Paul.

WEEKLY MPC / ACIDE MAISON FEAT. JACKMASTER JOOKZ

'Best' part of my am session, prepping for a short set tonight. Keeping it mellow as I am opening for an acoustic singer songwriter. Chill for sure. No backbeat helps a ton (which only recently occurred to me). The idea is to be long an subtle. 

Melodics are op1 tape loops brought back into ableton. All manner of everything used. Samples, the mic, fx, synths etc. 

op1 (field in this case) does not get enough credit as a live machine. Using it for live keys, tempo matched but not synced (adds a bit of movement-never perfect). So many ways you can go with it, and as this set is largely improvised via clip and loop launching. It's perfect for this situation.
