This is a small, assorted selection of some of the tracks I have written, produced, and performed on over the years. 

Original Music and Remixes

This is a remix I did for Kaskade a few years ago. Taken from their self-released album: 'The Calm', this remix feature mainly the vocals from Haley Gibby on the original track (laid atop minimal layers of organic instruments bathed in reverb and omitting any drums or tempo-based elements). In other words, this is an ambient track turned house. It ended up never getting officially released (these things happen). So it's here for you to enjoy, and I hope you do!

Now that Omnisphere 2 has audio import, I thought it was high time to be the first one to utilize it exclusively for a remix of Late Night Alumni's "Runaway". So here it is, all vocals were processed and manipulated in Omnisphere 2. All drums were imported and programmed. All sounds are from the brand new Spotlight EDM sprinkled with patches I created myself. 

I repeat: This ENTIRE REMIX was performed in Omnisphere 2. Late Night Alumni: http://www.latenightalumni.com

Late Night Alumni - Runaway - MIDIhead REMix

This track was inspired by the aftermath of the Charleston tragedy where congregants and community came together to fight hate with love. 

Looking Up - Sean Divine Feat. Michael (MIDIhead) Babbitt

This is the extended version of the instrumental song "Fire Water" heard in the promo video for the new patch library for Omnisphere 2.1 of the same name. All the sounds you hear (excluding drums) are from Fire Water. More info at www.ilio.com/fw

Every virtue has its vice, and every yin its yang. Music production should reflect this universal truth, according to J. Scott G. (formerly of Deepsky) and MIDIhead. Together we’ve produced “Fire Water.” In it you’ll find ripping synth basses, powerful and funky leads, lush pads, ethereal and epic poly synths, interesting fx and textures, vocoder sound bites, and BPM-locked movers.

Fire Water

I really love the vibe on this one. It features brand new patches just added as an update to Fire Water, including one I created special for a friend of mine named Morris Hayes (formerly of Prince and the NPG). Listen for it toward the end of the track. It's the mellow lead sound I'm playing. :)

The 13 new patches will be free to all Fire Water customers who have registered with ILIO.com.

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
