Dubby chords

This track concept was based on a YouTube sound design tutorial on how to create a "space pluck" sound in Vital, by S1gns of Life. I only added minor embellishments.

Playing with some Vital presets from the Anomaly pack by S1gns of L1fe.

An original ambient/experimental track, inspired by this photo I took at Frog Lake. Synths: Abyss, Vital, Zebralette, and the Dreadbox Typhon.

A fun and funky loop-based track that has gotten me out of a creative slump. Starting to experiment more with transitions, and finally made something longer than 4 minutes! At this point and onward, I'm working exclusively with Bitwig instead of Albeton.

This is an early draft of a melodic techno song that's still quite rough around the edges.

A sample loop based electronic track that came together really quickly.

This time trying out making some Psytrance. RIP Terry A. Davis.

This is the first track I ever made in Ableton Live, on Jan 10, 2021. I had recently downloaded the Yanqin Kontakt instrument and noticed that it had a soothing sound even when randomly playing notes, so it was a good choice for my first ambient-style track where I had no idea what I was doing.

An early attempt at an ambient track.

Trivial synthwave track I made with a set of samples created by RemixSample (on YouTube).

Silly and fun Japanese trap beat I made from sample loops. Totally brings a smile to my face.
