  Early mix of a collaboration between Some Desperate Glory and The October Cell. Kind of an ambitious track. It is about a super virus being unleashed into the world.

  More experimental than most of my stuff. Lot's of automation on the drums, alchemy is used for the bass synthesizer, and the noises are Reaktor.

  This track is pretty personal. The drums are XLN Audio's wonderful Addictive Drums, the guitar is my Les Paul Standard through NI Guitar Rig, the bass is a cheap English bass guitar also through Guitar Rig, and the glitchy noises are Reaktor.

  This Joy Division cover was recorded live in Berkeley, California on May 2, 1995. The bass is the lovely Korg M1, the synth sound in the chorus is the Sequential Prophet-600. The vocals are routed through a ProCo RAT-2 distortion pedal and a Radioshack Reverb, for that lo-fi effect. This track...

        @raytrace: I was going for the early 90s techno vibe, mixing breakbeats with electronic drums... i like how it turned out. Lots and lots of layering.

        i'm liking what i hear. ever hear of a group/artist called Hate Dept.? cuz you sound really similar. i do have to say that your vocals need a bit of work, but they aren't terrible. good stuff you got so far.

  I like this one. It uses Audiorealism ABL for the 303 acid lines (there are three instances of it on the track) and lots of drums. The drums are primarily Battery, with a lot of layering of acoustic and electronic drums. There is a bit of Ultrabeat and ADM for the 909 kick in there as well. T...

  This is probably my most personal song. There is a lot of Camel Audio's Alchemy on this track. It is amazing how you can load a loop into it and use it as a source for all the additive synthesis techniques. I made a drum loop in Battery, then loaded it into Alchemy. That is the distorted basi...

        I like the vocal effect during the chorus. did you clone the same track, or did you record each vocal track separately?

  Quite personal and dark. Lot of guitar in the chorus, along with 303 lines from the ABL and 909 from ADM. The verse drums are from a heavily compressed Addictive Drums instance. This track has a lot of NI Massive on it as well. Not as much Reaktor.

  Again, quite personal, but not quite as dark. ;-) This one has lots of Reaktor for the crazy beats. It also uses Battery for the more straight ahead percussion and beats. The bass line is a arppegiated instance of FM8. The pad sound in the beginning is Alchemy.
