12 Songs in 2010: May Project
Since the April project bled into late May I decided to create a version 2 of the April song. Since I was on the fence with the electro-ish ending of the April version I removed it from this one and extended the four x four kick. I added some beat repeat to the melodic bits and fuzzed up some of the other percussive elements for good measure.
Take 1:
2010 May Project (Take 1)
Notes:
- Kept April project mastering rack on master channel
- Applied Audacity's default Normalize and Compressor effects to bounced wav, then exported from Audacity as MP3
12 Songs in 2010: April Project
Yes, I am late. It is a reccurring theme. But goals I have set, so goals I must try to meet.

This one I like well enough, but I find that it is maybe a touch boring, or needs more of a developing melody, vocals perhaps (vocoded of course), something. But for the sake of progress and moving on I decided to call it done, "mix" it a wee ...
12 Songs in 2010: February & March Project
So I spent a good chunk of February fiddling with Reason as a slave within Ableton, which lead to countless hours of noodling and no real results. And then I spent the other chunk of February with Molar VST and the Monomulator patch that turns the APC40 into a monome-like device and had a lot of fun with that (although I have a lot to learn about interfacing with Molar VST).
My February experimentation did not lead to a complete song, but it did lead to an idea that was the birth of the March song project. So I'll take that ...

SVEK!
This mix is an ode to one of my favorite record labels ever, the now defunct SVEK Records out of Stockholm. This was mixed on two good ol' Technics 1200s turntables and my Pioneer CDJ3000 Mixer. This mix is from 2006 and originally appeared over at abrooklynlife.com as a part of the podcast series.
