I’ll admit i’m not an ableton power user, especially in the studio, so the bundled stripped down edition is more than enough for my actual needs, though i may be tempted to upgrade in the future.

In the video i’ve just thrown a couple of loops from a piece i’m working on in the session view and noodled on. It’s loads of fun, and i’m quite happy with the tune as it is. It is bare bones and needs a lot more fleshing out and bells and whistles (well maybe not really bells and whistles, you know) but it bounces along pretty well. When i’m using samples i always try to pair recorded sounds with my own synth tones, and the marriage is always a difficult one, so to speak, especially when real brass is involved. Don’t know, i just feel this might wind up a real swell chilled out tune.

Nice stuff, you can peep the whole album on facebook here

Last friday I played at Homework Festival 7 in Bologna, opening up for Lukid and Dorian Concept. I’m not gonna lie, it’s been pretty awesome from start to finish. The music was, of course, top notch, and everybody from the Homework staff was super nice to me. Lukid and Dorian are also very cool, totally down to earth dudes, despite being far more talented than i am.

Here’s the setlist from the night

Luta Remix (2nd unreleased remix)
Brown Box (unreleased)
Chiptr0n52 (unreleased)
55th and 9th / 55th and 9th chill club remix
Time Heals Everything (unreleased)
Butterscotch
Clicks (Unreleased)
Plastic Pack (Unreleased) / Love Lockdown remix
Luta Electro (unreleased remix versions)

So, yeah, a lot of new, unreleased stuff, which obviously means there’s gonna be other news soon.
