Goin' home to Macon

Maybe the direction of this track will surprise some of you who are familiar with my music; and maybe not. This is a collaboration with Panu Moon (ccmixter.org/people/panumoon/profile) and I created all intrumentation using Reason 4. The vocals and the music hit very close to home for me. There’s something there that shares common roots, despite the different backgrounds (Atlanta and Stockholm).

Pacific Coast (feat. Jenny Grettve)

This is a reinterpretation of a reinterpretation. I had previously posted a song with vocals by Jenny Grettve, which she had recorded for a track by Blake (both of them artists here at MI7). Because I liked the vocals so much, I wanted to place them in another context, and this is the result. For more information, see Jenny's profile (http://community2.mi7.com/profile/9076)

rocha - myst (colab remix)

A while back, I had been sent a few tracks by rocha (community2.mi7.com/profile/1463) and had thought about doing a remix of one or two. They were fully-mixed mp3 files, so it wasn't as easy as I had thought to find an angle; but I got going with a track called "myst". Here's the result - the intro is mostly taken from the original, but with effects/filters/drums added; and then I develop the theme from there. Go to rocha's page for more tracks. He's a very talented musician.

Blake - Exoskeleton Landslide (colab brittle bones remix)

This is a collaboration track with MI7 musician Blake (http://community.mi7.com/profile/2525), who allowed me to add instruments and rhythms to his excellent experimental track. This is more of a radio edit - shorter and a bit more ambient-like.

HaveMercy - Screwed (colab rapid descent remix)

HM made available a sample pack for his stunning "screwed" (see http://community.mi7.com/profile/7693 for the original), and this is the result of playing around with it for a bit. I've kept the entire original structure with practically all sounds intact, but worked to add a consistent harmony/beat to it as the original is more of an experimental piece with an amazing vocal performance. Huge thanks to HM for giving me the opportunity to take this on. It was a great pleasure.
