What happens when you’re restricted to just one octave of a single instrument? Well…this!

These tracks are created with nothing more than a single octave from a xylophone patch (specifically, the freebie patch from the upcoming Spitfire percussion collection), and there are no external effects or processing plugins applied to the sound. Even the reverb is just what’s built-in to the samples.

It’s an exercise in creative writing under stiff restrictions. Lots of fun!

In other news, I was in a car accident recently so that was kind of an unpleasant way to end my semester, but no injuries so that was a relief. On the bright side, it’s spring time and I’m looking forward to some opportunities to actually enjoy the weather. Maybe I’ll do a photo album of pictures to show you all what spring looks like in my neck of the woods.

Some big and small projects, mostly personal ventures, lined up for the next few months to keep me busy while I wait for that next major project to drift my way. Been doing a lot of film work recently and worked with some truly gifted directors, so I’m hoping that I can showcase some of that work in the near future as distribution starts.
