We all aspire to a level of crispness combined with the pleasantry where we can all coexist. Nice & Toasty is not only a catchphrase but a way of life.

If you keep yourself Nice & Toasty, then is are crisp from the fire within yet nice with the compassion of humanity.

NICE & TOASTY

Maxumus Prime & diploMatt came thru & we dusted off some vinyl. Just a lazy Thursday in the lightweight lab.

Matt Max Freestyle

Getting more familiar with the MIDI tracks & sequencing preloaded sounds as opposed to playing/recording every track in real time separately. Here's something I put together to start the morning off right.

Sequence Sally

Got a great find at Half Price Books, the 12" to My Adidas & Peter Piper was hiding, 2 copies of the record for the low low of $4.99.

So...naturally I used the instrumental to Peter Piper to practice some beat juggling, transforming, etc. ENJOY!

Peter Piper Beat Juggling Practice

An Old School Rhodes Organ sound mixed w Pro Tweeze Bass set to a Funk Drum loop and you have a beat. Both Organ & Bass were recorded playing them "freestyle" overdub method after laying down the beat loop.

Funky Funk

Got some samples from a Digital Recording Trade magazine.

Put some of the samples together, sequenced into a full song, here it is. Tell me what ya think.

Struttin'

Took some phat loops I had on the MPC & looped them in an 8 bar Sequence. Then I added the Guitar sample from an early pre-Steve Perry Journey Album.

The bass samples are from my boy, Mike Stone who came & recorded them directly onto the MPC 2000.

Shreddy Instramental

Ascenion

Trying to figure out the right flow for these beats. Lemme know what ya think...still taking shape.
