This is a documentation of works between 2006 and 2007, working at a gas station and attending a community college where I grew up. This album captures the last page of this chapter of my my life.

Plastic & Flashing Lights

Done in the course of a month, this album was a response to the stresses and unfamiliarity of living away from home, in a big city and attending music school. It's angsty, but also has all the steam-blowing dance trackery to get things done.

Sewage

My very first original album; it's pretty short and very simple. I had an obsession with hip-hop, trip-hop and ambient music. DJ Krush, DJ Shadow, DJ Cam, Aphex Twin and Radiohead were all I listened to at the time. All of this was made on a Pentium II machine with no MIDI controllers - but I did have access to a Moog Rogue that my brother gave to me as a gift, and I still have to this day. I used ACID Pro and ReBirth 2.0 for everything else.

I was an angsty, depressed teenager (not unlike most at that age) and this was how I dealt with all of it: music. The only therapy that's ever worked.

Fish

Mindcrawl

The song ‘After’ is another one of those many songs, that starts off with a vocoder and it’s also another song about messed up relationships that have stopped working.

What I really wanted to do with this song is have a middle section that goes on way too long and I hope I have achieved that. The song starts quiet and strange and then gets propulsive and energetic. And then about half way through the song it sort of stops for about a minute and a half and then it all comes back in. Whether anyone will notice this or care I don't know. 

On this record I played around with making things just a little bit longer than they should be, I like that with certain movies and books and pieces of music when something plays with people’s time expectations. You expect something to resolve at this point and it doesn’t, it sort of creates almost like a sense of tension and the person who is experiencing the movie or the piece of music. So when it does finally resolve, you’ve created more tension so it almost feels better. Hopefully I won't irritate people too much with some of the long songs on the record.

I'm sick, so I laid in bed all day with my laptop and the Maschine that I just picked up, learning more about how to use it... amazingly enough, I cranked out a track in a day solid. I haven't done that since the first version of All Control. I love this thing... I got to play all of the drums and percussion by hand, making my own drum samples to use and man, they sounded amazing. I was working with straight encoded audio from Maschine after I hammered everything in. This workflow is incredible and I can't wait to make more stuff like this... I think the dance stuff is gonna have to sit to the side for a while.

About Atlas Genius-
The members of Adelaide, Australia’s Atlas Genius do things a little differently….They set about building a studio where they could write and record music for their newly formed band 3 years before they even played their first live show as Atlas Genius. For two years, they devoted their days to constructing their dream studio and spent their nights performing songs by The Police, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones at local pubs to pay the bills. “We really got down and dirty with dry walling and literally laying the floorboards, and at the same time we were taking a couple of days a week to focus on writing songs,” recalls Keith Jeffery, Atlas Genius’s vocalist/guitarist. "We had a lot of song ideas and it was important to us to have our own studio where we could experiment and hone in on our sound," adds brother and drummer, Michael Jeffery. The studio was designed and outfitted by the brothers with the help of their father (who comes from a music and engineering background). Once the studio was complete, the first song that Atlas Genius finished was a song called “Trojans,” which they wrote, recorded and produced in collaboration with their friend, keyboardist Darren Sell. After many weeks tweaking the song, Michael insisted that the song was ready to be heard outside of the studio walls. Within an hour, “Trojans” was on the Triple J Unearthed Website, SoundCloud, and for sale via TuneCore on iTunes, Amazon and Spotify worldwide.

“We had begun to think that music was a pipedream and we had all gone back to university to pursue more realistic careers,” says Keith. “We’d had such a long slog of playing late nights and working all day, and it felt like we didn’t really have anything to show for it.” But then, in the midst of cramming for their Fall 2011 semester final exams, Neon Gold discovered “Trojans” on the Triple J Unearthed Website and wrote a post praising “Trojans” as a song sure to “invade your head, all dressed up in a clever disguise of earnest vocals riding a hooky riff.” Checking the band’s email account for the first time in over a month, the band found that dozens of record labels, publishers, lawyers, booking agents and management companies from all over the world had contacted them.

“We were trying to focus on school, but it was just impossible,” recalls Keith. “So we said, ‘There’s something going on here. Let’s get back to the music.’” The band added manager, Jonny Kaps from +1, to their extended family to navigate all of the interest as the band focused on writing and recording more songs.

Quickly named an iTunes Single of the Week in Australia and New Zealand, “Trojans” reached #4 on Hype Machine by the end of May. In August, SiriusXM Satellite Radio’s Alt-Nation discovered the song on a blog and decided to give it some spins. There was an immediate reaction from listeners, and in September, “Trojans” was placed into heavy rotation, where it maintained a top-five position on the listener-generated Alt-18 countdown and peaked at number one for 4 consecutive weeks in January 2012. “Trojans” began selling over a thousand tracks per week on U.S. iTunes and soon climbed to 45,000 sales - all with zero promotional efforts from the still-unsigned Atlas Genius.

“Knowing we had this audience that was waiting on new songs, we had a much greater sense of purpose than we had before,” says Keith. “It was really exciting to know that there were people who wanted to hear more of our music.” Although labels were clamoring for the band to come to the U.S. and play a series of showcase gigs, Atlas Genius turned down those offers in favor of staying in Adelaide to keep writing and recording new songs. In February 2012, after months of communicating with numerous labels via Skype, the band chose to travel to the US in order to make their label decision.

“We’d never been to America before,” says Keith. “We flew in at night and saw this sea of lights, and it really became apparent to us how massive the U.S. is. It was pretty intimidating - like ‘How do we fit into all this?’” In April 2012, the band returned to the states having made their decision to sign with Warner Bros. Records. “We felt a connection with them,” notes Keith. “Everyone there feels very creative and dedicated to the music.”

The band’s first release from their new label home, the EP Through The Glass (produced, engineered and mixed by the band), came out in June of 2012. With Through The Glass completed, Atlas Genius then holed up in its studio and worked on writing and recording its first full-length album, while at the same time rehearsing for their first ever tour. The tour started in August 2012 and led to three more tours back to back taking them thru to the end of the year. Thus, their full-length debut was finished up between tour dates and got completed just before Christmas 2012. When It Was Now is set for a US release on February 19th, 2013, with an international release to follow soon after.

The debut captures Atlas Genius’s singular combination of sophisticated musicality and warm, wistful spirit. Infused with a classic sensibility, each of the songs would fit seamlessly if somehow slipped into a long-treasured mixtape. On the shimmering “Symptoms,” for instance, taut keyboard riffs mesh with urgent acoustic strumming before the band bursts into a gently frenetic, guitar-drenched chorus. Meanwhile, “Back Seat” blends its pulsing bass throb with a sweetly infectious beat and tender vocals that alternately soar and sigh. And on “Trojans,” Atlas Genius begins with a restrained guitar melody and vocal (“Take it off, take it in/Take off all the thoughts of what we’ve been”) before giving way to the handclap-accented, harmony-soaked refrain and lush yet kinetic bridge.

“It’s still surreal,” says Keith of all that’s happened over the past 18 months. “I think when we were very young, we had hopes that something like this might happen one day,” he continues. (Thanks largely to encouragement from their Beatles fanatic parents, who encouraged the brothers to begin playing music by age 14.) “But then you grow up a bit and it seems less and less likely. So when we put ‘Trojans’ out, we figured it would be a success if maybe a hundred people heard it. We don’t want to force our music onto anyone. Our goal is to write songs that we love and we hope they connect with other people too.”

Atlas Genius - Back Seat

Creating during the "Guns Blazin" days, I'm not entirely sure why this didn't make it on the album... but either way, this is a jammy from back in 2005. Made with ACID Pro and Fruity Loops!

And I can't believe this isn't on Soundcloud.

I made this track... I guess I was... 15? It would have to be a Scientific Method 1 era track... either way, I realized that this wasn't on SoundCloud, so I figured I should upload it.

The picture is what my setup looked like when I was about 19 I think? It was at my mother's house... that desk was made of shitty cork board... those are Panasonic speakers... and that Radium49 now sits in the MIDI Lab at Columbia College Chicago... the PadKontrol sits at my friend Whitney's house (she's played drums with me before)... 

That computer sits at my buddy Devin's house. I don't know if it still works.

Well this is nostalgic.


Anyway, this is the track they used in the Trackmania 2 trailer:

The Art of Mr. Bill - Season 2 is a continuation of The Art of Mr. Bill - Season 1 (available through live.mrbillstunes.com by subscribing to become a Hardcore Abletoneer or purchasing individually through the shop!

Season 1 aims to show people how I utilize Ableton Live to write music, and also discusses an overview of the software (ranging from the very basic to more complex features) including everyday practical applications for a lot of the features.

Season 2 begins with me having sleep deprivation & writers block, then proceeding to conquer it in the coming days and progressing to getting an entire track finished collectively in 11 hours. It discusses some features, but for the most part, this series is based on just writing music in real time with no bullshit involved.

If you enjoy this, and want to help support me, please consider subscribing at live.mrbillstunes.com/ or buying some music, everything helps. If you can't afford it, and you still want to help me out, you can help by spreading the word! Please tell people about this project, or following my social network pages (linked below). If you can't be bothered doing that either, then just take this as my gift to you and enjoy it :)
