Atari Square March

http://www.artronica.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Atari-Square-March.mp3

I get ideas to combine different things. My hope is that these combinations will yield a new thing. There is no more finished work for me which is why I date the mp3s. I may get another idea much later and return to an already released piece. More »

Japan Soul’s Sonic Examination of Tris McCall’s “Sugar Nobody Wants”

http://www.artronica.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Sugar-Nobody-Wants.mp3

Japan Soul has created an Examination of Tris McCall’s ‘Sugar Nobody Wants.’ An Examination has a lot in common with a Remix but without a rulebook. “Tris McCall’s ‘Sugar Nobody Wants’ is everything I intuitively look for in a pop song.

Entertainment Jam

http://www.artronica.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Entertainment-Jam.mp3

Not too much hyperbole from me about this piece. I had an idea for a bassline. I isolated where I thought the influences were coming from. Then just kept tweaking for several days and came around to this. I really just let this one happen. It may sound more like a traditional mashup even though it originally wasn’t intended to be.
