Seed of Sound
I am very excited to announce the release of my new album, Seed of Sound.

Creative Resampling in Ableton
by DJ Story Resampling opens up a lot of creative potential when producing music in Ableton.

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.

Either way, there is still [...]

DJ Story: Great Music! Are you using Ableton?
Mirror Me (Zenon Rec.): Yep. All Ableton. Synthesizing, sampling and resampling. A minimalist approach.
