Drum Patterns for Electronic Music
Over the past week I have been loving using my Launchpad Mini and the custom LPC Live 2 script for drum sequencing. As I am still learning how to write new drums on the fly I decided to make a few “cheat sheets”. I have printed these out and use them to help me write in the patterns. The idea here is if I do it enough, it will be second nature. The images below show the sequence in a 1/16th setting. They can also help you visualize different beat patterns in multiple genres for your own production. For me what I am doing is writing on the Kick part, and the Clap part into my step sequencer to then create the beat. If you wanted to, you could always recreate this in Ableton like the image below:
Free Goal Hacking Course! ????????
Goals are a funny thing. We love improving ourselves and finding the next best ever, but sometimes we get stuck. You might ask yourself: Why do I never finish my goals? How can I stop from getting stuck in a rut? Where do I even start? I get it, we all get these thoughts sometimes. Luckily, there has been lots of research on goal setting and achieving them. These three things are major factors: Being Accountable to Others Regular Scheduled Updates A Solid Action Plan That is why I put together a free email course on Goal Hacking. I will be sharing a whole system of setting great goals and achieving them. If you join I will send you an email once a week, for 8-weeks, with activities and techniques. I don't want to give too much away, but let me say that I am really proud of what I have created to help people set their goals for the new year. It has worksheets I have created, interactivity with other creatives, and more. Ok... I need to stop before too many spoilers. If you
Spirit Rose Music Video with Marya Stark and Tiare Tashnick
I have always dreamed of making this exact video. Something provocative, emotional, and meaningful to me. When Marya Stark and Tiare Tashnick reached out to me about collaborating, I was elated. Well, actually I was uncontrollably grinning and dancing around. I am honored to present this new music video. To give you a glimps on my creative process, here are some words I write about this video. Our world is asking us to rise to greatness. We can no longer hide from the shadow or get lost in illusion. We are being asked to shatter the spells, to empower ourselves with love, and make this world a better place. Will you rise to the challenge? I started to vision with Marya and Tiare Tashnick on how this can grow into an immersive experience. How could we breathe further life into the transformative fire? Beyond elated to work with such a talented creator as Tiare. This video was our first step in an evolving epic of music, visuals, art, ritual, and movement. We will rise to the challenge and hope to stand beside you. The song
Loop 2018 Music Sumit
Coming back from Ableton Loop Event and feeling hella inspired. Just set up my studio again and started making music... because isn't that the point? The classes and workshops were really mind-blowing. I took classes on making synths with paper, Artifical Intelligence in music, the art of listening, and so much more. Here is a video I made of my experience at Loop 2018. You can see how excited I was and pick up some of what I learned. Also... there is a little teaser in there for something amazing. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCodS8aCBsY" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> My overall experience was great at Loop. Ableton really goes all out with these events. I got to hang out with other teachers I admire, meet new musicians, pick up new skills, and come out with new ideas to put into my tracks. So yeah... a success for sure. Next year I hope it's back in LA, it's a lot easier of a trip then Berlin, but either way, I hope to make it out. If you went, I would love to hear in the
Music and the Movement of Ecstatic Dance
Over ten years ago I went to my first ecstatic dance in Seattle Wa. The experience changed the trajectory of my life and my music. So wait... lets back up... what is Ecstatic Dance? Ecstatic Dance is a freeform of authentic movement. The idea is there is a general formula you can follow to take dancers through a diverse journey, a wave if you will, that brings them from softness to an ecstatic revelatory place and back to stillness. WHAT IS ECSTATIC DANCE? Here is the general layout of an ecstatic dance. First of all, it's drug-free, all ages, and generally a pretty short experience. 2-3 hours total. Think of it as a dance class more than a club. The event usually starts with a warm-up. People come and stretch, roll on the floor, and get ready to shake it. After the warm-up, there is an opening circle. Each ecstatic dance is different and I have seen a range from a circle with a 5minute welcoming, to a shared ritual/movement practice. After the opening, the DJ, it's usually one DJ for the whole evening, starts
Making Meditation Music and Binaural Beats
Binaural beats have greatly affected my life. Not only that, but they were the reason I became an electronic musician.In a Meta full circle, I am excited to release this online course on Binaural Beats. It dives deep into Binarual Beats, Isochronic Tones, Frequencies, and more. Been years in the making, and honored to finally release it. Fifteen years ago I got into being a psychonaut. It was a strange and wild point of my life. I was doing dream experiments, binaural beats, and exploring consciousness. That time greatly shaped who I am today. In a strange full circle, I have been revisiting those experiments the last few years. I have been drawn back into my love of Binaural Beats and how to dial in your consciousness. After a lot of discovery and work, I have created this online course on how to make your own binaural beats and using sound to affect consciousness. It feels pretty amazing to have this thread through my life and find a new way to help others on their own journey. Here is a trailer video for the
