Joy, the fifth track on the new album, Study Break.  My second personal favorite track on the album.  From the first time I played out this track, it truly brought me nothing but Joy.  The influence for this track was a great producer friend, who I asked which soft synth was there favourite and they said FM8 from Native Instruments.  I took this as a cue to delve deep into this vst and found it did have great features, just like other favourites like Reaktor and Max / MSP.  This track is dedicated to that friend and all of my friends who have inspired my creativity.

The album "Study Break" was composed over the course of 4 years.  An extensive study in break beat drumming used to inspire compositions across a full range of electronic genres.  Each track inspired by a mix of classic breaks, composed as a full album progressing in tempo from 84, 110, 128 and 168 beats per minute.  This full album continuous mix brings it's listener along this entire ride with side chained ambient passages and deep syncopated mixes.  It would bring me great joy to think of people sitting back and relaxing, driving or dancing along to this mix, inspired by the broken drum rhythm.  This is my deepest thank you to everyone who's music or performances I have enjoyed.

“Circuit Breaker” is the electrifying first entry in The Waveform Generation (Rob McDonald's) 100-tracks project—a yearlong sonic journey through analog synthesis, emotional textures, and pulse-driven circuitry. Crafted using modular gear and reel-to-reel processing, this track pulses with energy and analog warmth. It’s a raw signal surge—a breaker trip into the soul of machine-driven sound.

Perfect for deep-listening sessions, underground visuals, or immersive club transitions, “Circuit Breaker” blends analog grit with digital precision.

“Peach” by The Waveform Generation
A glowing fusion of analog texture and modern emotion, Peach radiates warmth from the first pulse. Built on layers of fuzzy synths, immersive atmospheres, and intricate rhythms, it drifts between dreamstate and motion evoking the lush, saturated energy of The Chemical Brothers at their most introspective. This is music to feel deeply and move slowly through. The second drop in the 100-tracks-in-100-days journey, Peach sets the tone for a summer of electrified emotions and textured sound.

Peach

Composed and recorded on May 15th, 1999.  This was composed as a part of a two track demo.  The lush pads and creative use of backwards cymbals to crescendo the beat, accompanied by the straight ahead bass lines and four/four beat make this electronic piece the beauty that it is.

The name of this track is Achieve Satisfaction because it represents exactly that. It was this Sunday afternoon that I felt an achievement of satisfaction with the new studio and process involved in making this music. A four part chord was composed as the inspiration and start of this arrangement which was a new approach for me and I am very proud of the result, be sure there is more exploration like this to come!
