Cinematic Rhythms

I recently sat down (over zoom) with James Jennings to do this interview about my new “Cinematic Rhythms” course for Melodics, as well as a little about my musical past and things that have shaped my musical path. If you’re unfamiliar with Melodics, it’s a Music training app for Keys, Pads and Drums. Available for […]

Scaler Plugin – Chord Presets

Hi all, Recently I was asked to contribute some Chord Sets to the wonderful Scaler Plugin. It’s a remarkable plugin, which allows you to create harmonic material easily.

The Mouth & Razor FX Racks

If you’ve downloaded my “Vocoder for Push” racks, then you should understand the concept behind these racks… basically they’re performance orientated racked instruments that hack the external instrument and external effect devices to be able to pre-map the audio routings.

Tiny tidal waves – 5 free Ableton Live instrument racks

Rather than providing instruments that would just play the sounds from the EP, I thought it’d be much more interesting to create a new instrument from each track. What you get is a collection of instrument racks created from the key elements of each track, re-contextualised into new […]
