Drifting into a chilled soundscape at 82bpm. This track explores electronic textures and layered piano samples, shaped with the Elektron Digitakt and a string layer from the UDO Super 6. Touches of Akai Force chopping in the mix to make a drum kit of the strings. #chill #82bpm #digitakt #super6 #akai force #sampling #electronic

Three Card Trick

I've written my own stuff since I was a kid and have basically chronicled my life, which most songwriters do. I was quite into guitar until I broke my hand fending off an intruder who tried to break into my home. Little finger didn't play fair. So now I'm into synths and keyboards, have built a decent collection including a Moog Matriarch, Prophet 5 Rev4, the Behringer 2600 and 2500 semi-modular, the UDO Super 6 (truly awesome), Novation Peak, Yamaha Modx6 (such a workhorse),  Deepmind 12, Digitakt, Modal Cobalt (surprising and, yes, digital) and the Behringer Crave. They each have their strengths, but the Matriarch is my go to for inspiration. (Update: Super 6 is now the fave)
