Helicopter Moon
An idea I was messing around with the other night:
I’m a huge fan of Telefon Tel Aviv and the work of Josh Eustis and the late Charles Cooper have influenced me to no end.
I used the Korg MonoPoly plug-in for the Boards of Canada-esque pad and did all the sequencing in Live. I really love the stock compressor and the eight band EQ that comes with Ableton. It’s always easy to be critical of...

Pac-Man. The golden age of video arcade games. Chiptune music. The electronic sound of the 80’s.
I made this a few nights ago:
Minus the clubby kick drum during the second half, everything was made with YMCK’s free plug-in. I snuck in a mash-up of an old synth riff from a song I wrote called I’ll Meet You There from one of my earlier records. One for the critics.
I grew up in the late...

The 11th Hour
The 11th hour.
For me, it’s the part of making records that takes longest. The 11th hour requires extreme micro-attention to detail and though it’s often the most stressful and fatiguing piece of the process, it’s during the final finishing brush stokes that dreams finally bloom and come alive.

Interviewer: Your songs are all super positive, is that something you do on purpose or would you write a more sad song if you could?

melankolii:
I want to write something here about Mr. Adam Young. I care not for total articulation and whatnot within this post. I’m going to just write…starting now.

Personally, I think that everyone should read what this little lady has to say....
