Duration: 8 min 24 s
Description: This audio demo shows off the "Texture" patches in The MINT. Headphones recommended! Perfect for creating atmosphere, mood, tension, and mystery. More patch demos coming...

While I don't like people burning alive. I'll admit it, I bought these patches for the awesome textures and pads (not much of a EDM musician).

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

Sound Advice: Above & Beyond

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.

Hi there! Did you know that my music is also available on all the major download and streaming services. Please follow me here: 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
