Here's a music track I put up I thought some of you guys would dig on it .

For those interested it was recorded back in November over a 4 day period in a cabin deep in the wilderness.
There were 2 of us .
We had 2 laptops running Ableton and a myriad of misc gear.
we had a car battery and a generator as backup .

It was snowing most of the time and very cold. We were set up in front of a wood stove the whole time.
Some crazy stuff happened.

this is just a small fragment of what we did. We are in the process of completing an entire CD .
The tracks are recorded live as it happened with no overdubs.

thanks

Nice stuff. I especially like it when the electric piano sound comes in at about the 3 minute mark. Creates a nice dissonance that creates a little vertigo. Then the voices come in and I start hearing a little Future Sound Of London influence. I could me wrong, but it reminds me of them. Good stuff.
I love ableton, but everything I do in it sounds like ableton. 8 is better, but I haven't had much time to record lately. You've managed to avoid that signature Ableton sound. Nicely mixed. I've used Pro Tools, Logic and some other platforms. Next to my old 16 track 2" and my cassette 4 track, Ableton is by far the most fun and intuitive software I've found. Now that they've teamed up with Cycling 74 things have gotten better and the strangeness factor has really opened up.
I'd like to hear more of your stuff. I wish there was someone in my area who I could sync laptops with. there's one guy, but he's more into sound design than jamming. I play mostly guitar and do a lot of atmospheric looping stuff, then cut it up or drop it into samplers and play those with guitar synth or my roland drum kit.
Technology is fun.

Felnik,

This made my day. Thank you! When the album is done, I'll be first in line.

I'd love to know what gear you use. Do you use much outboard gear, or mostly software synths/samplers?

Cabins in the woods in the winter have a certain magic. I recorded in a similar place once. It was the only time I ever got to turn up my Vox AC-30 all the way. The feedback was glorious for miles and miles an miles.

Thanks for the feedback It means alot . This stuff was mostly Ableton and alot of software synths .
I use DIgital performer for mastering.

Ableton is so creative and open once you get the basic hand of it .
This was like a crash Ableton intensive.
I think this picture says it all all I can say is it was super fun .

being a noob at electronic music production, AUG4 and the above picture is truly inspiring sir!
please check out some of my work. Still drafting - trying to find my sound.. could use your feedback. Currently Using, FL9 - 192 Kbps Sound Card - dual intel processor 4Ghz.

thank you, once again - enjoyed yer piece thoroughly. Awaiting more of that!
