Project1542 Audio Log 5-28-2013




So to start out I have some original material, then a one hour continuous mix by Stan.  The first is another totally new production built from the ground up. I included a screenshot for below for viewing pleasure, so you can see the kind of effort that has gone into making it. For the most part it is a large portion produced with a good amount of time put in it…(easy and easier I might add), and with that time brings the power of bending a song to you will each step of the way.

Pay no attention to the length because it’s really two songs the second portion really just got mixed at the last minute as part of a larger live set… see picture below. Included guitar which I takes me back to some of the stuff we were producing earlier last summer, however this time it is not just this solid concrete thing that does not change, more like a ambient and dynamic electronic sound with a great deal of stage worthy modifiable musical properties. The name is a play on words (hidden meaning in everything). 



 Second part is a mix of some old school trance I have been listening too, from the days when the balearic island of Ibiza was the creator of some fantastic feel good music. My visit there forever altered my taste in music, and sound which to this day I have always been chasing. In hopes of bringing that same experience back here is the track list for Stan’s euphoric mix.

Stan’s Euphoric classics mix-
1.      Boccaccio - The sercret wish "0-3:46"
2.      Mauro Picotto - Lizard "3:46-8:25"
3.      Sasha - Xpander "8:25-12:30"
4.      Lovechild - Liberta "12:30-17:04"
5.      Pulser - Cloud walking "21:41-25:50"
6.      Gate - Iron Eden "21:41-30:54"
7.      Push - Strange world "30:54-34:47"
8.      Lost Tribe - Gamemaster "34:47-39:21"
9.      Angelli & nelson - El Nino "39:21-44:28"

A chiptune maybe?

Project1542 Audio Log 5-23-2013



So I was playing with some patches on the synth and found a chip tune patch,  really cool. I have watched some people perform some chiptunes only once before and it was really amazing, hacked Gameboys from the 80s turned into instruments making out of this world BPM and sounds. So on a whim found this patch and turned it into something. The something would be something probably listened to something like this ever.  Experimental musical project we are so, we bring you a chiptune with real drums, guitar and some other sweet stuff that really thought was cool together. Make sure if you listen start at about 4:30 to the end favorite part of it, then listen to the rest if you have got that far. If you like it let me know and I will try to make more for now just a little fun with some crazy synths.

One to remember!

Musical Link above^^^^^^^^^  

This I can absolutely say is the best work so far in Ableton, it just sounds really good. The other 2 works that were posted earlier fail in comparison to this. It really shines. Playing it is a joy all in itself, feeling like a producer directing each instrument telling when and where to sound. Ableton takes so much work but this work really pays off. So now cheers, to tear it down, reconstruct, rebuild and do 100,000 more times, and 100,000 times better. Only thing I would like to add is some live guitar with some deep hard chords on the bridge, maybe some lead and vocals.
Other than that it feels solid. I know you will feel the same way, if you don’t, well I have no idea what you are doing reading this. That is the confidence this has produced.  
Thanks to the guys at Ableton for making Live 9. Its mind bogglingly complex and hard to learn, when your left brain is Cubase and have no previous electronic music background it was hard at the very least to retrain a brain. However it has help make some fantastic work, and it’s totally up to the operator to create, innovate, and express, that is what the music is all about.

This one is really going out there. It has been really fun to produce and really getting down to having fun instead of learning. The noise bass fader is really cool you will notice I was playing with it. I am still getting used to timing it just right and some other mixing type stuff. However this is by far the best one yet. The complete song is mixed in real time and it’s a completely original mix.  Project1542 dual spin state

A New Beginning


A New Beginning

Seem like a long time, and probably is. I have been gone for some time a couple of months, even though months have felt like most of a year. Somehow the giant experience that I have gone through has made it feel that way. The experience… here on the blog at least I will only refer to as a small trip I once took. I was a trip of learning and experiencing that I will not soon forget. It has shown me what is pushing the edge of music, and changing the scene as we know it. You would think if anybody asked. How the music industry is doing? The most common big label response, is that internet is killed the market, and ruined music as we once knew it. This answer could not be further from the truth, in the real world there is a whole new breed of musicians that are pushing the envelope with live performances, venues big, small and some underground.  This has changed the studio sound of so many before, to an almost irreproducible sound that is the selling point to draw fans out and into the music.
On that note as I have returned home to draw on the new inspiration I have found, started working on it as soon as I got home last night. What follows is my own flavor of what I have listened to and the skills I have learned, during my little trip to the real world. All of it produced from start to finish made in an evening, with Ableton live. You will find some screens to show a little of what I am doing. Work always can be done but I felt it best after so much time to give you a dose of what I will be working on.
