Seed of Sound
I am very excited to announce the release of my new album, Seed of Sound. It's something that's been in the works for a good long while, and it's a bit of a culmination of countless music making hours. I made it a mix of everything I currently love from progressive/electro house to downtempo psy dub, and even some pop. Like all of my music, there is an African feel to the ...
Ableton Tutorial - Rhythmic Gated Patterns
In this tutorial I share a technique for turning any texture, pad, or soundscape into a tight rhythmic stuttering pattern. It's accomplished using sidechain options of the gate effect in Ableton Live. This type of effect is something you hear in a lot of psy dub, psy trance, and psybient music. You hear it used in many songs by artists like Shpongle, Ott, Bluetech, Phutureprimitive, and many more.

APC40 Python Scripts Review
When I first got my APC40, I was amazed by the out of the box functionality. I had done my research, and knew that it was what I wanted. It offers a lot of flexibility in the studio and for live performance. I still had this feeling like there must be more though. I started experimenting with it, and noticed I couldn't use a midi translator with it, and I was frustrated ...

432 Hz Vs. 440 Hz and the Universal Harm...
The reason for changing frequency from 432 to 440 Hz middle A in 1936 by J Goebbels is debatable. Some say it was to accommodate the piano, so the tuning would stay more consistent across the entire keyboard. Others say that it was a Nazi conspiracy in conjunction with Satan. Either way, there is still […]

This sample pack contains royalty free psytrance samples and loops created by DJ Story for dark progressive, full-on, and darkpsy producers. Sawtooth waves are essential for psytrance sound design. So much can be done manipulating the pitch and frequency of basic waveforms. The sound design was primarily done using sawtooth, square, sine waves with various processing in simpler.
