Must give a big shout out for Kourtney Buchanan (Kourtney Demaine) for the artwork. Amazing stuff!
Also, big cheers to Marco over Rec72 for demanding this since we handed him Le Migre #1. You're a hero M :D

Cheers

ps if anyone was waiting for the review I promised on the Novation Launchpad, I'm sorry, its not going to come I'm afraid. I've had far too many other commitments so unfortunately you'll just have to find a review elsewhere. Never-the-less, its definitely worth purchasing though. I can honestly that my use of Ableton Live has gone up at least 1000% percent because of it.

Short Post

Just a short one today to mention the fact that I got the masters for Le Migre #2 last night. Scott has done a wicked job. The tracks sound great. Actually no, they sound really great!!! I'm sure you will love them too

As it looks the Ep will be available in September for free download from Rec72. Details will follow on this.

Oh yeah, I'm still working on the review of the Novation Launchpad. I promise it will be posted soon.

Another Day…Another Purchase

Today I took the plunge and purchased my first ever full copy of Ableton Live. Live 8.14 to be precise.
I've been using lite versions of the software since Live 2 and kind of drifted in and out of using it as a studio tool since then. Although strangely enough, I have actually always used it when playing live as its entirely more reliable than Cubase, Logic or Reason in my opinion. Anyways, after the purchase of my Launchpad the other day it kind of made sense to upgrade my software at the same time.

For those of you that already use Ableton in your set-up I really don't need to tell you how good it is. But for those that don't………Get it. Get it now!!!

Read up a little on it here:- Ableton Live

Today I managed to create four completely new tracks that are maybe, 80% complete already & I finally managed to do a re-take on my earlier (much-loved) track, We Are Denied. I'll be uploading some of these tracks onto Soundcloud when they're done & as a token of thanks to all the people who have supported me with my music the "We have denied" re-take will be available for a free download.

Oh yeah, the review of the Launchpad is coming. I've just been too busy actually using the device to write anything here. I will say this though, combined with Live the Launchpad is almost perfect.

Here's to happy music-making.

Novation Launchpad

After a short while pondering whether or not I actually needed one of these (fairly) new-on-the-market midi controllers I finally decided to order one last week. It came in the post today! So far…it is absolutely amazing!!! Its so simple to use and fast too. I've only managed to play around with for a few hours but when I've properly investigated it I'll post a review type thing up here. Keep looking in for that.

In the meantime here is a direct link to a page where you can read Novation's own opinion.

Bye for now

Dans & Elektronika Live Set

I've just now uploaded a live set from 2 years ago onto Soundcloud. It was performed for a theatre show in Jönköping. Listen

I found it this morning on a disc and thought people might be interested in hearing it. You might notice it is a bit messy with volume levels & stuff but rather than fixing everything I wanted to present it as it sounded that night. Hope you enjoy it.
