The Creative Mode and Monty Python
Creativity is an elusive subject. It's hard to quantify when and what is creative. Then take it a step further and try to get in a creative mode is even harder to comprehend, well with the logical mind that is. The other day I watched this amazing talk by the legendary John Cleese from Monty Python. He has had an astoundingly creative career. In this video he shares some interesting research and ideas around what he called the creative mode. John Cleese brings up a point that really hit home for me. The most creative professionals always played with the problem much longer before they tried to resolve it. Because they were willing to tolerate that slight discomfort and anxiety when you haven;t solved the problem. This brings up a really interesting and powerful point. When you sit down to write music you might hash out an idea in the first hour. You might want to just jump on it and finish it up to feel like you did something creative. If you follow the easy route of what comes first, you might be

Fine Tuning and Diminishing Returns
So far I have clocked over 350 hours on my next album. I know that because I actually track my time. Through out the process of writing tracks there are some major landmines you have to avoid. One of the biggest ones is tweaking things to death. Since I am getting all my tracks ready to send to mastering I am finding myself running into those landmines, so I am writing this article as a reminder to you and myself. My good friend Danceher once shared the concept of diminishing returns with me. The idea is there is a point in which your effort brings you less of a return. So in this case working on a track past the point of anyone being able to notice or care.
New Remix of Akara’s Track Projection
I am so honored to finally share this. About a year back Akara asked me to do a remix of the track. I have been able to play this at festivals this summer, and was so excited to share it online.

Layers of Bass For An Epic Low End
An important part of any mix is the Low End. Getting that sounding solid, having a punch to it, and bring out a lush bassline is the key to an epic track. Mixing all the Bass Elements is also one of the hardest things to do. The first key in understanding the low end of your track is to understand there is more than one layer to your bass. There are multiple layers and frequencies that make up a good bass. The way they flow together and interact with your other elements is what will make the bass truly punch through, or be a murky mess. A bass can have a click on it, a warm mid range, a synthy top end, or more. In this article I will go over the different parts that make a up the domain of the low end and share some insight on how to wield it in your music. Here is a chart to show off the 4 Layers of Bass:
Creating a Bootleg Remix with Ableton Live
There are a lot of DJ’s and performers out there. It can be a monumental task climbing up the endless heights to be known as a performer. One way you can quickly rise above the crowd and get recognition is through bootlegs and remixes. You can take any track and make your own spin on it. By taking popular dance tracks and adding your own spin you can quickly get your sound and vibe out to the world. I just created a new Bootleg Remix Pack to help speed up the process and wanted to share some techniques and tips I use a lot in remixing. WHAT IS A BOOTLEG REMIX? To start, let’s define what a Bootleg is. A Bootleg is one type of remix of a song in which the remixing DJ uses an entire song or samples from a popular song without the explicit permission of the original artist. A bootleg remix generally uses the stereo master track and or accapella of the track.
