This is a track I created using only sounds from my up and coming patch collection for Spectrasonics Omnisphere, titled Heatseeker. Drums not included.

Heatseeker

While toying around with a vocoder, I wrote this quick little tune to help bring a little light into the darkness that some feel this time of year.

When you feel cold winds round you start to bite    
I hope you can feel my love on this winter's night
I'll give you a song, I'll give you warmth and light
I want  you to feel my love on this winter night

When all the clouds shut out the gleaming stars and moon
And all the light is stolen away
And when your tears fall like fragile snow
And your heart is bitter cold  

Won't you  call on me, so I can change the night to day?

When you feel cold winds round you start to bite    
I hope you can feel my love on this winter night
I'll give you a song, I'll give you warmth and light
I want you to feel my love on this winter night

When all the clouds shut out the gleaming stars and moon
And all the light is stolen away
And when the tears fall like fragile snow
And your heart is bitter cold  

You can call on me and let me change the night to day

You're not alone...

I know the cold embrace of the darkness you are facing
Freezing, biting, burying you deep in storms your chasing

When you feel cold winds round you start to bite    
I hope you can feel my love on this winter night
I'll give you a song, I'll give you warmth and light
I want you to feel my love on this winter night

On This Winter's Night

Another collaboration comes your way, this time with the taste of Future Bass via Lars Hausmann of Brave New Word composing the music and Michael (MIDIhead) Babbitt of Monolithic on vocals and production. 

Will appear on the up and coming Monolithic release, "Metaphysical", late summer/fall.

Metaphysical by Lars Hausmann+MIDIhead (Radio Edit)

On a wind swept field in paradise a demon came, just after dawn.
Embers burning on its breath, the growling gale it cued its haunting song.

Blackening the sky devoid of mercy in its eye, it cast the spawn.
Fiercely fanning flames upon my refuge did it claim, 'till it was gone.

And oh, I feel all alone in the dark
Yet I'm reminded of the light I can spark

I still have my heart
I'm still breathing
The flames they will forge my art

And here's where I'll start
Though I'm grieving
I faithfully can impart : I still have my heart  
 
In a flash it stole away the hillside where I used to pray for calm. 
Memories of childhood dreams, the pictures that I long to see are gone.

Anger stirs inside of me, the embers of their mockery prolong.
Instead of casting blame and cursing politician's names I write this song.

And oh, I feel so alone in the dark
Yet I'm reminded of the light I can spark

I still have my heart
I'm still breathing
The flames they will forge my art

And here's where I'll start
Though I'm grieving
I faithfully can impart : I still have my heart

I Still Have My Heart

In this installment of Sound we delve into the creative minds of stadium-filling electronic music act, Above & Beyond. This summer, Above & Beyond released ‘Bigger Than All Of Us,’ their first album as a trio in seven years. In this exclusive interview, two members of the group, Tony McGuinness and Paavo Siljamäki, discuss their 25-year journey in electronic music, from becoming vocal trance’s most in-demand remixers to starting their labels Anjunabeats, Anjunadeep and Anjunachill.

Sound Advice: Above & Beyond

I wrote this song for my best friend who I've been married to for 30 years. I love you Shauna!

You and me were meant to be
It was obvious that day we did the mall
I saw that dress in front of me
On a sales rack,  and you wore it that night to the dance hall

This 30 years has come and gone
But you have always been my Avalon
I long to hold you closely until the dawn

You're back in my arms again
Faithfully we're best of friends
You're back in my arms again
Again...
I want your back in my arms again
I'm grateful that we're best friends
You're back in my arms again

You and me we planted seeds
We watered the roots and nourished limb and bark.
Pruning branch, removing weeds.
Watching our harvest shine in the dark. 

You and me were meant to be
It was obvious that day we did the mall
I saw that dress in front of me
On a sales rack,  and you wore it that night to the dance hall

This 30 years has come and gone
But you have always been my Avalon
I long to hold you closely until the dawn

Again...
You're back in my arms again
Faithfully we're best of friends
You're back in my arms again
Again...
I want your back in my arms again
I'm grateful that we're best friends
You're back in my arms again

Back in my Arms

Message On The Mirror by Monolithic feat. '86 Crush

Hi there! Did you know that my music is also available on all the major download and streaming services? https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/monolithic1/fMOD

Michael (MIDIhead) Babbitt is a Los Angeles-based electronic music writer, remixer, producer, vocalist, and DJ. From the age of 8, he knew what he wanted to do. It was then that he first recognized music's cognitive and spiritual power, and envisioned a day where he would create it. At the age of 14 he began his musical endeavors as a DJ for a local radio station by day, and as a mobile DJ by night after finding professionals willing to train him on these crafts. By age 18 he was spinning vinyl at a popular local night club in his home town. But spinning other people's music wasn't his dream, so he fronted a band that eventually led him to perform for thousands.

Michael was awarded "Best Album of 2001" for his debut solo album "Power Undiminished" at The American Synthpop Awards in Hollywood. It was front man Kurt Harland from the 80's band Information Society who presented him with the award. After moving to Los Angeles, Michael shifted his role in music production to focus on media. His first track was heard in Fox's "Dark Angel", followed by landing a "Matrix Reloaded" movie trailer which opened up the floodgates for other television shows such as "Access Hollywood", "Dexter", "CSI" series, "America's Next Top Model", and "Prison Break", among others. His high energy remixes and original music has also been featured in Konami's popular Dance, Dance, Revolution video game series.

Michael has has recorded with artists Shane Gibson (Korn), Peter DiStefano (Porno For Pyros), and worked with Grammy nominated DJ: Kaskade, as well as Kaskade's side-project Late Night Alumni.

Michael's latest endeavors have him designing patches for Spectrasonics Omnisphere, distributed exclusively by ILIO. He has received critical acclaim for his patches by industry professionals and hit-making artists! Check out his sounds at: www.ilio.com/patches
