Cool! I listen to gone fishing from time to time, as it's on my module-favorites playlist. Wasn't aware that Tito = Teetow!

Two hundred billion years ago, I helped out on a track by Radix (Mosaik these days) called "Gone Fishing," which he graciously released as a collab. It had this delicious, laid-back flavor that was the combination of his uncanny sense of harmony and my insistence that "the drums gotta pop, man."

This song is very much an exploration of that musical space, with a robust, chunky drum groove supporting a bouncy, sparkling bed of interesting melodical twists and turns. I really like it, and dedicate it fully to Jakob / Mosaik who's always inspired me to write better.

Gone Fishing Again

Way back in the stone age of digital composing, it was possible for one person to store a musical project in a tiny 500 KB file, send to to a different person halfway across the area code (because good lord dialing long distance was for madmen) and every note, sample and delicious pitch bend would be right there. Kinda neat when you think about it.

This track started its life at the desk of Radix / Mosaik / The One Of Several Names, whose creations have always blown my socks off with their restrained glee and wonder. The man builds miracles just because he can, and doesn't show off -- in stark contrast to myself, whose first instinct on this collab was to add horns, MORE DRUMS and a timbale solo. Of course he was right in humbly suggesting we dial that shit down a notch, and so the track was released unto the world.

With permission from Radix, then, here it is in its restored glory. And the timbale solo is back.

Gone Fishing

XM remake from 1997.

I never really cared for this track. The sounds, sampled off a Roland JV-35, were clean and reasonably punchy but also quite flat and annoying. The lead sound was grating, the solo atrocious, and the melody had a childish, irritating quality that has this track firmly on my shitlist. All the more reason to give it a second chance!

First up was deciding what to do about the lead instrument. After some experimentation I found a tweak to my standard "two slightly detuned saws" that brought a bit more motion to it, something needed for all those sustained notes. I also dug into the organ arrangement, trying to pepper some inspiration into the very monotonous chord progressions.

As always with these remakes, it's humbling for me to hear my musical ideas come out with more clarity and purpose, and as per the rule, this is now one of my favorites. I hope it'll be yours too.

Bridges is my first single of 2018! I spent a lot of the end of 2017 trying to balance my life with music. I found it hard to make time for new song writing. Bridges was really my breakthrough, my bridge in between fitting music and my life :) Hope you like it! - Jam

We're going back! FM slaps, ridiculous snares, and all the brass your ears can handle. Huge shouts to RthR for the original riff and the MASSIVE sax solo, as well as mastering the damn thing.

Mega Drive (with RthR)

The final installation of the "Robot Trilogy" of Candela demos. In this restoration, I really wanted to just up the fidelity of the mix, and not poke around too much in the original MIDI. Well, I may have fixed a drum fill or two...

The demo itself, if somewhat rough around the edges, really felt like the culmination of the formula we established with Fair Play To The Queen, but with a proper ending. Always nice.
