The SH-2 Software Synthesizer is an authentic sonic reproduction of Roland’s classic SH-2 synthesizer from 1979. Renowned for its raw vintage tone, the SH-2’s dual VCO plus sub-oscillator configuration dishes out devastatingly fat basses, edgy leads, and wild effects.

I highly recommend headphones for this one due to the stereo field.

Roland Cloud jam in Ableton Live which turned into a bit more of a track. Tons of post processing going on in this one. It all started with a custom JD-800 patch I made while messing around with the JD-08 Boutique as a control surface. I added a TB-303 bassline in the same key and just kind of went crazy with throwing layers on it.

Electronic- I don't care what it takes to make a track as long as it's electronic: spaghetti, dread-locked tangles of patch cables, ridiculous VST plug-ins, feedback loops, external effects, old-school analog synthesizers or iPad apps.  You might find noise and experimental "tracks" here, live PA, maybe some ambient, downtempo, trance or analog drones.

What you definitely *will* find: Roland TB-303, Roland MC-202, Roland Alpha-Juno 1, Moog Rogue, Dave Smith MoPho, Korg Kronos, Korg microKORG, Alesis Micron, Akai MPC-1000, Ableton Push.

Lately I've been getting more into house music and early acid house which clearly shows in my newer compositions.  I've been migrating from Logic to Ableton Live but I do like to keep up with production and mixing/remixing in both.  The Ableton Push controller makes the composition part fun again ;-)  Regardless of the DAW, it's still amazing to be able to get hands-on with patch creation, performing parts and massaging the flow of a track with outboard gear (especially analogs :-)!) and dedicated controllers.
