Here is a sneak preview for Meatmarket. This is just a premix so don’t start getting all picky on it just yet
It’s 7:30am on a Saturday morning. I resisted the urge to sleep till 11 since I have a friend coming to record some bass tracks this morning and I need time to […]

Rough WIP - "I'll Always Be Second Best":
Play Now |
Play in Popup
This song is very much a half finished WIP. I lost my voice last week after a cold, and when I tried to sing this on Friday I got only one terrible take done before my voice gave out again. So I will definitely be redoing the vocals on this!
It has recently come to my […]

Enemy is the rewrite of the theme song I wrote for Erik Hogans game Derelict. It will soon be available for download from Amplifier, and eventually from iTunes.
Special thanks again to Michelle Klaessens (The Rock Factory) for a fabulous mastering job, Mark Towl (Stapleton) on drums, and Mike Johns (Revolution Brother) on lead guitar.
The Gear […]

I borrowed a Yamaha DT Xpress 4 for some recording tonight, along with a drummer since drums are not really my forté. I thought an electric drum kit would be perfect for an evening recording session at home, as it wouldn’t keep the neighbors up like an acoustic kit would.
I wasn’t familiar with the kit […]

Derelict Alpha was just released yesterday, I downloaded it shortly after midnight and began playing my way through (slowly, because I’m terrible at games). Even though I’ve worked on the game it was just as exciting for me because I hadn’t played it since the beta which didn’t have my sounds or music in, and […]

I have noticed this search coming up a fair bit in my stats, so thought I better write a post on it. I’m gonna grab a vocal line from something I’m writing at the moment, and run through using the Adobe Audition Pitch correction plug-in. I am using version 1.5, but version three […]

Well, The RPM challenge is over, and while I didn’t complete it in time I feel it was definitely worth while attempting it because I have written a lot of new material that I otherwise would not have.
Next year, I think I would do a few things differently to make sure I finished in time.
Not […]

If you don’t know what General Midi (GM) is, you’re missing out on something which is at the time time both very awful and very cool. General Midi is a specific specification for synths, that basically means the the default synth on your soundcard or operating system should theoretically have the same instrumentation […]

I fear I may have spelt Fantabulous wrong. Lucky it is not a real word aye. Or the spelling police would be on me in a jiffy…
Yesterday I spent most of an evening recording sounds for my friend Joshs indie game Caverns of the Underkeep. It’s a rogue-like game, which according to […]

This is a new song I’ve been working on. It’s had almost ten different versions, and this is the rough of the version I’m probably going to go with. It’s almost a bit too “easy listening” for my personal tastes, but I think it’s probably the version most likely to get me […]
