re:produce 003: TOWMF | Released Today!

Music Production News and Events Products | From the mind of | 09/11/2009

- Out Now -

Re:produce 003: TOWMF, the latest in our new line is a pack from TOWMF (The Ones With Many Faces), a collaborative project from Patrick Campbell – Rift- and myself. Together we have releases on Vellum Recordings, Thoughtless Music and Lobotomy as well as a strong focus on multimedia arts with sound design.

We’re really excited to showcase a main conceptual side of our compositions stemming from our use of field and foley samples captured in the moment. Re:produce 003 includes over 140 MBs of 24 Bit, Ableton-ready WAV audio files with recordings of pouring rice, crushing cans, crinkling bags, shaking or grinding coffee beans, giving rise to epic crescendos and morphed into vesatile rythmic samples including percussion loops, shakers and sound effects. There’s even a NI Battery Kit, with over 30 one-hits, and essential basslines and chords created using analog monophonic and polyphonic synthesizers.

The application of these samples is to give you tools to create contemporary compositions, whether it be for deep, tech house or minimal percussive electronica. However our sample pack reaches far beyond the 124 BPM tempo at which most of the sounds are set, allowing for non-tempo relevant use in any form of audio concoctions.

If you like the use of natural sounds stylistically from artists such as Stimming, Bruno Pronsato, or Thomas Melchior then check out the preview clip attached and see for yourself.

As our re:produce audio sample series evolves our excitement and anticipation grows with each new release, mainly thanks to your wonderful support and feedback! Please keep it coming

We are in the midst of exciting times for producers, artists, engineers and musicians! The launch of our innovative new Audio Sample Pack series, re:produce, has just hit the (digital) shelves!

The concept is revolutionary: bring you the sounds of today’s most highly respected artists, sounds and artists that you will only find on Resonant Vibes, at an inexpensive price with a regular release schedule on average of every 2 weeks. It’s a chance to borrow, learn from, and be inspired by leading artists, giving you the opportunity to finally answer a question we find ourselves asking over and over: ‘How do I get that result out of my music?’

We launched the series with my latest project, Komposit, leading off with an array of Tech and House sounds, fit for a multitude of styles and settings, ranging from 122-128 BPM. These are sounds I take with me on the road for my Live PA performances across the globe, as well as staple sounds appearing in some of my releases alongside Bruno Pronsatto, Touane, Rift, Mikael Stavostrand, Mark Henning and more. Be sure and check out the preview clip because at only $10.00 there really is little room for doubt in purchasing over 120 Megs of high quality sounds, including an NI Battery Kit and pre-mapped Ableton files!

Introducing Damon Fonooni, AKA Habersham

Industry Stuff News and Events | From the mind of | 05/16/2009

habersham1

I’m writing this post on the heels of Damon’s one below. I should probably have posted this one before his was published – but better late than never, it’s been a busy week!

Anyway, I’m pleased to offer the blog readers an introduction to Damon Fonooni; a new addition to the list of Resonant Vibes blog contributors.

Habersham as he’s more commonly known has been a stalwart of the the American underground dance music scene for some time. An accomplished electronic music producer and a long-time advocate of Apple’s Logic Pro for his productions he’s crafted a unique futuristic sound over the years. In my opinion his sound is one that sits outside the box of the trendier stuff you might hear on your local dance floor; his productions are always cutting-edge and highly original, sculptured to make you think about what you’re listening to.

You can check out one of his tracks in the rv network HERE.

It’s these qualities that made us take note, and eventually approach Damon about working on our SoundTheory project. The concept behind SoundTheory is to produce sample packs that have been designed by talented and well regarded electronic music producers. The packs are crafted to have an emphasis on being performance-ready ‘out of the box’ which reflects the approach Damon has taken towards his own live performance.

As Damon mentioned we’re working on a new sample pack concept with him, and it’s one that’s really exciting. I don’t want to give too much away, but we’re looking forward to doing something a bit different with it. :)

Outside of samples, Habersham has had a slew of releases on some noteworthy labels including his own Lobotomy Records imprint, Bedrock Records, AudioTherapy, Global Underground, Auralism, and EQ.

As we’re working with Damon on these sample projects, we thought we’d invite him to get involved with the blog because he’s always shown support for rv and he’s an intelligent and articulated writer. Combine that with the fact that as an artist he has the opportunity to travel extensively which should make for some good stories. All in all we think that his addition to the blog will be great and we’re really glad to have him involved. I hope you enjoy reading his posts as much as I do!

What’s on my mind @ 6AM on the way to Mexico?

Music Production | From the mind of | 05/15/2009

It’s not the Swine Flu, as much as people will have you believe this is the plague of our times; It’s not being in a war-stricken country where the drug cartel boss lands a spot on Forbes ‘Top 100 Millionaires’ list (afterall the last time I played in Juarez it was the bloodiest weekend the city saw last year).

So what is on my mind as I take a 6 AM train through downtown Atlanta on the way to debut my new Komposit Live concept in my most favorite place to play in the world? ‘Where is that Chik-fil-a – in Terminal A or C?’ :D Believe me – I have earned this chicken biscuit for breakfast after working all week for this weekend’s shows in Juarez, Mexico and Denver, Colorado.

And then the weekend ensues: first stop is tonight in The Stadium, Juarez, with good friends and hosts Clase420, second is Denver on Sunday for an outdoor event @ Bar Standard thanks to Louis and Metro American promotions.

As I touched on before, this trip marks the debut of my KOMPOSIT concept, which promises to be an exciting experience not only for myself but especially the audience. The purpose of this project is not only to have a fresh entity to manifest my Techno-oriented compositions but also to push my own boundaries in a live setting, with absolutely no prearranged or sequenced tracks or sections, only sound loops which I have designed specifically for the moment which I will be piecing together at will using Ableton and my 2 MIDI controllers. The overall set each time will be completely different and will never be reproduced or replicated in another performance. I’ll be posting a live recording of these performances very soon, so be sure to keep your eyes on the RV Blog!

In fact this direction for me was largely inspired by my first sample and sound design project for Resonant Vibes, Sound Theory: 01. It was thanks to working on sounds designed to be simply chucked into a live performance via Ableton that I realized the unparalleled potential of the program.

And now RV and I are teaming up to bring you a series of small sample packs, roughly 100 megs each, that will be released every 2 weeks or so at a great price proportionate to the size of each sample pack. I will be featuring many world-reknowned artists and friends to create sample packs themselves as part of this new series! To start things off will be a Komposit pack featuring sounds I’ve actually used live so keep your eyes locked here as we release more details….

Now then, where was that chicken biscuit????

New Featured DJ – Habersham

News and Events | From the mind of | 04/14/2007

Habersham - Featured DJWe’ve added Habersham as the newest Featured DJ on Resonant Vibes, so I figured I’d write a brief post to let everybody know.

Since launching our site, we’ve worked with a number of DJs and artists on various projects. In working on the SoundTheory 01 sample collection, we’ve had the privilege of getting to know Habersham better on a musical and personal level. …and I can definitely say this guy is a Class Act ;)

For his Featured DJ page, we asked him various questions about his recent career highlights, forthcoming projects, etc. …and, of course, we asked him some questions to provide a bit more behind the scenes info about the SoundTheory 01 project.

Click HERE to check out the interview!

Habersham’s Exclusive RV Mix (SoundTheory 01 Studio Session)

Mixes | From the mind of | 03/13/2007

As you may know by now, we recently launched our own line of samples: Resonant Vibes SoundTheory. To create the first installment, we turned to Habersham, an artist who needs no introduction on this blog. Last week, we added Habersham as a DJ on the RV roster. As with all of our other DJs, we asked him to give us an exclusive mix that we could share with you. What he gave us ended up blowin’ the hair off our heads!

Before I describe the mix in more detail, I should point out that it’s quite unconventional. (Of course, those who know Habersham’s music would already expect this to be the case.) This mix is not just another progressive, techy, or electro mix in which a DJ played some tight tracks and blended them smoothly together. While the mix contains elements of these familiar genres, it verges in concept and in sound toward the experimental direction. Regardless of your genre preferences, it’s clear that this mix was created by a true technician.

To create the mix, Habersham decided to use only elements from the SoundTheory 01 collection; no tracks, just a constantly evolving sequence of sounds and rhythms. I think this mix represents nothing short of a landmark for electronic music DJs. We all know how hard DJs work to create seamless, organic pieces of music. After all, that’s one of the chief things that we value in electronic music DJs, right? Unlike the typical radio DJ who plays one track and then simply stops it and puts another one on; our esteemed DJs are able to make transitions that ultimately create a larger, unified piece of music. Usually, the idea has been to select tracks that go together and to play them in such a sequence as to tell a musical story. …but now it seems we’ve reached a new frontier…instead of going from one discrete track to another, DJs can "transition" by progressing through a constantly mutating set of sounds. In this exclusive mix, Habersham is playing skillfully on the new frontier of DJ-ing where the barrier of track distinctions has been broken. To give you a better idea of what’s going on in the mix, he sent a screenshot, which I’ve provided below.

Sometimes a picture is worth 1,000 words, and I think this screenshot gives an immediate idea of the complexity and structure of the mix.

Well, I guess the only other thing I want to say is, you can check out the mix by clicking HERE!

Enjoy!!!

Eddie B
