New Track: Eyes From The Edge (downtempo synthpop)

A Downtempo Synthpop chugger with an uplifting mood where all the synthesizer parts less 1 lone pulsating TB-303 line come from the Roland JX-03 Boutique synth (Basses, Pads, Flourishes & Lead lines). Drums were a stock glitch kit from Ableton.

The 2015 Collection

  This playlist compiles 2015’s production work here @blancodisco. Went a lot more hardware based for sound sources vs. plugin’ route, although I still rely heavily on Ableton Live for sequencing, arranging and mixdown duties. I enjoyed making and will continue on creating material in the coming year.

Track: The Harvest Moon

Today (09.27.15) marks this year’s harvest moon rising in north america. www.almanac.com/content/shine-harvest-moon Outside of the science, this is the first track I’ve produced using Elektron’s new Overbridge technology.
