I’ve been using Reason to create sweeps and swells for my MLO sets, and I thought it would be a good subject for a first tutorial.
I’m using Reason 6.0.2 in the vid, but the Thor synth has been around since Reason 4.

I thought I’d do a a quick video experiment with Sony’s NEX-5n. Shot handheld on a cloudy day in Intelligent Auto mode with the toy camera filter selected. Shot in 1080p at 60 frames a second – edited an slowed down by half in Windows Live Movie Maker and exported as .wmv. I’m looking forward to getting a Hague mini motion-cam to use with this camera – should make for much smoother video. The soundtrack is A Farewell In The Evening Rain off my Further East album.
I got a new toy today in the form of a Doepfer Dark Energy – cute as a button! I made this demo for it to see if I can get my head around it. Hey, I think I can!

Live Online #87: Inbetween
In anticipation of the release of the Further East album on the 26th, I’ve cobbled together a video for the deep house track “Inbetween”. It features public domain footage I found in the Prelinger Archives of sexy Shereé doing her original tiger dance. It’s fun!
Enjoy Live Online #87: Inbetween
This recording was made at Substance (Second Life) on November 21st, 2010.

MLO#24 vs Electric Sheep
A big thanks to David Carboni for tipping me off to the cool synergy between my tunes and the hypnotic visuals from the Electric Sheep screensaver – or rather, “collaborative abstract artwork” as its creator Scott Draves describes it. In short, rather than just displaying the visuals each computer running the screensaver forms part of supercomputer and renders individual frames for these spectacular animations. Even better, the resulting visuals are made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 3.0 (USA) license, meaning I am free to make this mashup with my music.
For this video, I grabbed some rendered animations from Sheep Packs 3 & 7 and dumped them into animoto.com, along with an extract from Live Online #24 – cool timing, since animoto.com has just added the video uploading feature in the last couple of weeks.
This mashup is similarly licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 2.5 (Taiwan) license and you can download the original animoto renders here:
