A four piece horn section, three piece vocal section, his brother Clayton guesting on piano, two feature lead tracks one by Mahalia Barnes and one by Karen Lee Andrews. All together a killer 14 piece band and a new highlight of Lachy’s career.

Rain Dance - Stephan Lipinski / Jamie Rhind

Procedure:
1. Transcribed vocal melody and composed new harmonic form using relative phrygian (A phrygian) and relative minor (D minor) tonal centers. 
2. Processed original track with AI tool, LALAL.AI, to extract vocal, bass, percussion, and background stems.
3. Using Melodyne, repitched bass and background stems to comport with new harmonies and form.
4. Sequenced piano (montuno), acoustic bass (tumbao), orchestral string pad, and Latin percussion tracks in Reason. Also sequenced a short Fender Rhodes solo.
5. Light mastering with Izotope Ozone and FabFilter plugins.
6. The last 60 seconds of “Tripped” were left untouched, save for added Latin percussion and mastering effects.

Every now and then, I'll come home from work and film myself on Photo Booth to see if my embouchure and form are ok. This has helped me adapt to motor issues I developed after contracting focal dystonia in my right hand in 2012. You can see the video that this was ripped from here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMn893cuNVw.

Riverside Drive | Michel Reis (2009)

Welcome to my SoundCloud page. This is a mess of original compositions, recordings, trumpet solos, rough drafts/works in progress, midi mockups, electroacoustic experiments, and educational materials/exercises I developed over the years. They’re posted in no particular order and cover several genres including jazz, classical, funk, orchestral, rock, drum 'n' bass, fusion, Latin, R&B, metal, country, world, and electronica. Hope you enjoy.

Attention visitors,
For more than eight years, a hacker has set my follower count to the number of the beast, 666. I've notified SoundCloud management and the police about this bizarre crime on several occasions, but neither party has followed through with a solution. Let it be known that although I am an atheist, I do not now, nor have I ever had any interest or connection to satanism, witchcraft, voodoo, occultism, or any other foul ideologies my persecutors wish to attach to me.
