My kickstarter project is nearing its goal! We have until Monday to raise the last few hundred dollars.

I want to thank everyone who has pledged, shared, and told others about my project.

Thank you.

I had an accident yesterday involving water and electronics. Not good! I now have no computer for producing music. Luckily, I am in the process of raising money for my first album, and part of that money will be going towards a new computer.

A lot of people have asked me what is so important about testing your tracks in mono. This tutorial will show you why this can really change your tracks!

Out there in the vast reaches of the internet exists a website called Kickstarter. It is a service which aims to help people fulfill their creative projects by allowing investors to financially support the efforts. In return, investors get ‘rewards’ in exchange for the contributions, as well as a sense that they helped someone get closer to achieving their dreams.

I have created a project on Kickstarter to make my debut album. I am raising $5,000 in order to purchase some new recording gear, get the CDs duplicated and promoted, and money to produce the rewards for contributors.

The project only runs for 30 days, and after that time if the goal is not reached, all the investors get their contributions returned. So it’s really a win-win for investors.

If you feel drawn to invest in me and my music, by all means, follow the link.

Since my first synth programming tutorial, I decided to start making videos more regularly. So I bring to you MASSIVE MONDAY! This week I made two videos, but mostly I’ll just be doing one a week. Keep your eyes peeled for new videos, and leave a comment if there is a certain sound you want to know how to make. I’ll take a stab at it!

I have decided to start making tutorial videos. Hopefully I can help people learn some basics of synth programming so they can start making new and fresh sounds! Check out this first video, much more will be coming soon!


Okay, so this track isn’t super new. It has been blogged a lot over the last year. But it is worthy of being talked about, because it’s so good. Robotaki is a master of lo-fi, retro, funky, but modern style.

It’s one of those tracks that I can’t help but play again and again.
