Live Mystik YouTube Video Mix on Synthstrom Deluge

This began as a proof of concept to do a full live mix seamlessly mixing between projects on the Deluge for what would constitute an hour long set. I ended up stepping backwards through 10 of my most recent projects and then up a couple after I'd reached down to my newest set... So, I went from 248-238, then 249-251. I was transitioning blindly in the sense that I didn't know what was coming next, which key it would be in, nor what level of intensity it would drop with. So, it was an experiment. One that, after several listens,…

Mystik Luminate – Live EP YouTube Video Mix

Hi Friends! So, you may know that I'm involved in several music projects... One of the original projects I contribute to is a live and studio project with my brother Dave called Mystik Luminate. I've just posted a video edit I just finished of a live mix I did on the Akai Force for my Mystik Luminate project with my brother Dave (aka Luminate).

Action/Tension Music Short in Am @ 160bpm @ 0:27s

You get the picture.

2021 Mid-Year Demo

Halfway through the year already! I have been on a production tear lately. Mostly trying to learn my gear really well. Lately it's been using the Synthstrom Deluge since I'm about to go on a roadtrip and want to feel comfortable with just that. Before that, it was with the Akai Force and using that to aggregate and compose with a DSI Tempest, the aforementioned Deluge, Korg Electribe 2 and ER-1, Yamaha RM1X, Roland VT-3 and Yamaha CS as primary sound generators and a Pioneer RMX-1000 as a master effect. Sometimes into Ableton as multi-tracked arrangements, other times arranged on…
