Song A Week Challenge 2021

A collaboration with talented bassist Miguel Alvarez. I wanted to combine his virtuoso progressive bassline with a glitchy beat.

The constant bassline contrasts with the unexpected and seemingly chaotic percussion.

This one is strange not only in name, it wanted to be this, unusual and in no particular style.

This track knew what it wanted to be from the very beginning, the idea had all the parts compressed in a 20 second idea and I just needed to expand it and arrange it to make it happen.

This one started as a jam session on Korg Gadget. I really liked the bassline and then added complementary elements to reinforce the confident attitude of this beat.

I really like Korg Gadget, it’s a fun way to put down quick ideas with powerful and varied synths. I usually don’t feel the need to change the sounds once I export the project to Ableton. This track started as a jam session on Gadget and it wanted to be a happy but melancholic old school hip hop beat.

This one started from a jam session on GarageBand for iPad. It’s a shame that it’s such a pain to export projects from there to other DAWs because it’s a nice tool for idea generation. I found this growling sample and the atmosphere made me think of a cave with a wild animal inside, getting closer and closer…

This creepy drum & bass track started from a jam session on GarageBand for iPad. I found this repeating percussion that made me think about insects crawling and skittering around, then looking for vocal samples I found a weird one that was just a person saying “skin” and it fit the crawling insect imagery.

This is another one that came through from a jamming session in GarageBand on iPad, it wanted to show a tense atmosphere and the feeling the something is going to happen, so I chose vocal samples that could add to that.

This dark trap beat came from a random jam session with my bass, just playing whatever and recording, then trying to build up ideas with any interesting bits that came up. Curating ideas from the universe or something like that.
