Fun in The Collaborative Age

2011-03-28T18:24:48Z

Here's a couple cuts that reflect the amazing collaborative possibilities at our disposal in 2011.

First, I threw together a cut, improvising a vocal track over some beats, then I threw the vocal part into a sampler that spliced short phrases that could then be triggered on my Midi controller (keyboard). Then I hit record and played back the sampled vocals on the keyboard percussively. I called it Electromagnet, here's that Cut:

Then I uploaded my Logic session and the new sampled sounds to my man Jacob Sanders AKA Whalehawk who took what I did and completely turned it on its head. Here's what he came up with:

Each one of us spent a single night working on our cuts. Love to hear your thoughts!

Here's a track from my good friends in The Love Royale. I grabbed the instrumental and went off!

Funny enough, I've never thought of myself as a DJ or a remixer but this is starting to get addictive. Love to hear your thoughts. - B

Here's a track in progress that I pulled together a few nights ago. I was experimenting with converting one of my vocal tracks to MIDI and then performing it back live to a beat I built. We'll see where it gets but here's a start. Any one interested grabbing and running with this one feel free, peace B

This is a great cut I worked on with my favorite music collaborator Jake Sanders AKA Whalehawk. This track I had little to do with but I'm proud none the less. Get it free for a tweet right here.

Session Mashing

Heres a track from a session that I did with my friend Mike Colletti on Bass. We laid down guitar and bass to a beat. A month or so later Jarad Astin came by and laid some funky keys down. The I flew in a drum part by David Petry that he laid down at a different tempo from a different song and it fit beautifully. Chopp chop fizz fizz, you got the Dirty Kramer (named for Mike Colletti's bass sound on his vintage steel head stock Kramer Bass
