I bought ABL2 recently, because I *love* that 303 sound and it was cheaper than trying to figure out how to build my own xoxbox. I had plans to do more with this track. Then I realised I was getting too deep into tweaking instead of releasing…

After the Alonetone meetup in Dublin, I promised Tess & Bethan I'd get my finger out and finish/upload some more stuff. So this is the first thing that's reached "good enough" stage. A trancey/ravey number featuring monotron samples after…

Nearly missed this! :) Great to hear some fresh sounds from you! Agree with Johnny, love the beat - also dig the bassline and yes, there is dancing in my kitchen. He shoots he scores. :)

The beat&synth at 4:30 was the ticket for me...overall cool track chris.

One of four tracks I did for the August 2009 24 hour challenge. This was the last track I did, and it shows. I was pretty tired after finishing 3am chill, and had to mess round for ages mangling loops and trying out different things before…

Worked on this track for a *long* time. Learnt a lot but it's time to call it done and move on to something else. Am pretty happy with it all in all. Sounds include samples of me clapping and the Snowdon steam train heavily processed with Ableton…

First attempt at making something with the demo version of live 8 suite and some of the sample tutorials. Just the first third or so of a whole track really. It's the first thing I haven't wanted to delete straight away so I want to put it somewhere…

good sample work!

I decided to focus by timeboxing the amount of time I spent on drums, bass and lead into 30 min sections based on the pomodoro technique. The idea was to spend 5 mins picking the sound for each part, then 25 mins making some loops with it to arrange…

This is a track I started on the ferry over to Wales for a little holiday a couple of weeks back. * Drums are from Ableton Suite's Session Drums * Bassline is an patch I created in Live's Analog synth * Guitar is me playing through Guitar…
