I’ve decided it’s more important to work on original tracks than mixtapes and DJing at this time. Over the next few months I’ll be KEENING the production and I hope to finish a few tracks, finally!
Here’s the first project I want to finish:
As a side note, there are a few new mixtapes added to the Music page! Here’s the newest of the bunch:
Here’s what you missed out on if you didn’t make it to Upstairs Cabaret on Throwback Thursday!
CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD a zip file containing each piece of the mixtape, separated into 12 mp3s (one per song)! This makes it easy to skip between songs when listening in iTunes, or listening on a CD (in your car while cruiiiiiisin’, for example.)
Previous mixtapes I’ve done have been more about including songs I really want to share, and designing nice transitions between them in Ableton.
This mixtape (and many more mixtapes to come) is designed to not only mix between good songs but to try and spice them up in my own way and do interesting creative things with them. As such, you may not like what I did to these songs. Also remember that this is not a mix that I took 40 minutes and recorded using turntables. I designed this 40-minute audio “story” with Ableton Suite & the APC40 over the course of 2 weeks.
I hope you enjoy it, but if you don’t, I don’t really care because I really do.

Some of my friends have told me that they really like these 2 songs that I wrote and recorded using my guitar and my own voice a few years ago. So why not offer them up for public enjoyment?
Something that I’ve noticed about myself is I am very paranoid about being too self-centered. Often when I’m talking to people, I get worried that I am showing how self-centered I truly am, even if I’m trying really hard to put other people first. I used to think of this as a curse, a problem in my head that I had to get over, but tonight I see it as a shield. My paranoia of being self-centered helps me to be less self-centered. It’s funny how something that you so quickly judge as bad can actually be a good thing when thought about in a different way, or more thoroughly, or….. whatever.
Anyways, this week has been pretty crazy as I’m trying my very best to make this dance/party thing I’m DJing on Friday super killer awesome. Time is short and there is much to do, so I’m pretty stressed…. but I chose this job and I don’t regret it. I’m excited to keep working and excited to go crazy on Friday night.
See you bears later
