The Amen Break
I’ve been guilty of using this break in the past. None of my tunes using it were ever put out though. I’m not much of a junglist.

Thanks to Mark Decheser the set we played is available online thru his podcast. Make sure you download all the sets. Max Klaxon was awesome!!!

WOw a SOLUS gig !!!! what a rare occurance. This will be a pared down laptop set but with tons of new material from the new album “Rhizome” due out soon. Its only $5 and you can BYO.

Balanced malts and hoppy beats to celebrate the harvest. This might be the most psychotic mix to date, from luke vibert to matata to Mapp & Derf. Speaking of Mapp & Derf…. That was my project with Gregg back in the day. It has been remastered and I’ll soon have it up on itunes…

The new EP is an album
Looks like the new Solus EP has morphed into an album. It should be available at the turn of the year. If you write me a nice email I’ll send you some tidbits..
Did I mention ableton live is awesome, esp. on multitracked drums
Yeah, well it used to be that if I wanted to use my own drumtracks in my tunes it was a hassle. Firstly, I dont have a kit anymore, secondly I suck.. Well, at least the tracks would stick out like sore thumbs against quantized synth and sample tracks.
Live 6 has made it too easy. At rehearsal I just thru up a couple mics and jammed into my laptop. Later, at home I rewired the live set to logic or protools and got down to bizness. Just select all the tracks and whatever warps you make to one affect all the tracks. Insane..
Used to be I’d take a stereo track and stick it in recycle to tighten it up, limited by keygroups and a stereo channel. Now, anything is possible.
Bassline were another thing that used to get the recycle treatment. Again limited by the keygroups in your sampler you had to plan ahead if you wanted to recycle an entire performance. Now I just plug in my bass, hit record and play through, knowing I can warp the crap out of it and swing the entire track on the fly.
Now if i could just write something worth recording….
Solus live video
Its a full on media extravaganza!! We had reporters embedded with us for the duration of our tour. This is some video footage that survived the long journey back from allentown. That pack of wolves got most of our 16mm reels.
Solus live shots from Allentown
We made sure we played only Billy Joel tunes since we were in Allentown. Josh had a killer whistle solo, and thanks to Chris for these photos
Chuck Nicholson was on the Drums and Josh Meakim was on the guitar.
