Title: Welcome to the Jungle (book trailer)
Artist: Noggin
Album: As Yet Unknown
Date: 2010

My roommate at the time, Hilary Smith wrote a really great book called “Welcome to the Jungle”, and this was the soundtrack I made to a stop motion promotional video she had made for the book release. She had mentioned something about cutesy, so I imposed a 100% casio synthesizer policy to go with the animated pills popping and rolling around our basement fun / scary land. This all came about very quickly, but that’s something that’s nice about working professionally – deadlines.

Title: Another World
Artist: CNCTR
Album: Phase
Date: 1997

Here’s some bubblegum techno-pop from 1997.
This was the first track I ever finished and released using what would be become my main sound production tool, Jeskola Buzz. Seems appropriate to use a ‘first’ for this, the first post of this daunting endeavor. A little hesitant because it’s so different from most of my other stuff, but twice this week people have brought this track up and said they liked it, so just giving the people what they want.

This track was also my first international release, as it was released on a New Zealand comp ‘Self Unbound’ shortly after I shared it.

It’s crazy when I think about making this track, because I was just so new to producing using a computer, and these new concepts of ‘patterns’ and ‘loops’ completely blew my mind. I think this track actually grew entirely out of my amazement with another friend who had made a little beat that was based on a two-pattern (8 beats) loop…thanks for the inspiration Cliff.
Also, this track ignited my love affair with my favorite synth of all time, Geonik’s PrimiFun.
