Yes! It's been a long while.... over a decade since an updated post! The AAA games industry kept me ultra busy but the music NEVER stopped. So many tracks since posted on the Soundcloud and more to come very soon!

New track, well.... new and old. Recorded between the years

Now available for free DL for a limited time here on Soundcloud.
https://soundcloud.com/montebello7official/and-this

notes: 
"and this.... " contains a sample of our eldest child's in-utero heart pulse off an old ultrasound DVD capture. sonically shaped it to build an ambient piece of music around it's rhythm using a trusty old Akai S900 hardware sampler.

Mapped it with the following sync'd kit list of gear...
- Akai S900 sampler
- Roland TR 909
- Boss DR 202
- Roland Juno 106 analog synth
- Roland D50 Digital synth
- Yamaha MD8 hardware digital multitrack recorder
- Reaper DAW

Music Video also now available to chill out to on my official youtube channel!

the cage 2007

akai samplers galore and crusty big beats took me on a darker journey making this track. originally called 'peel street' but since it resulted in a very hard render I changed the title to something more psychological.

enjoy.

Keora now on Soundcloud

Recorded in 2004 before my 1st daughter Emma Keora was born. We named her Keora after a tree that's resilient to drought. We love that symbol of strength and perseverance.

I always loved the music of Manchester UK back in the 90s. David Bowie, The Smiths, New Order, Electronic, The Other Two, A Guy called Gerald and especially the innovated dream creators 808 State.

This track is a heartfelt love letter to Manchester and how I longed so much to be a part of it one day. Sonic and foggy travelogue of the Hacienda night club during the 90s. Free your mind... feel the vibes... live and direct... in the area....

Kotupa

A little test I did using a brilliantly fun music app called 'Figure' by Propellerhead (makers of Reason and the infamous ReBirth acid house virual 303+808+909 software)

Kotupa is the result of hours really pushing the app and seeing what can come out of it. I'm totally sold.. it's a great tool for generating grooves and it has a nice interactive chromatic note spread layout that makes creating music sound really good and always in the right key.

N-Joi!!!

Relentless

"bring the noise" - magic shadows UPLOAD

there was a period of time when my brother 'Mad Mike' and I hosted an underground radio show called 'the amazon' on CFBU 103.7 fm. It was a Brock University sub outlet that was generously open to the community and it had really great programming in it's schedule back then.

This was around the dawn of a Jungle/ Drum'n'Bass scene in St Catharines known as Brock Up sessions. (apparently nothing to do with Brock U itself) That scene had some great Dj talent that would tear it up in the downtown St Paul street area.

Being a co-host on the show I found myself digging through my old crates of Moving Shadow and Suburban Bass records from the early 90s. I loved groups like Tone Def, Cosmo n Dibbs, Johnny Jungle ect...

This was the result of what I loved about that old style of pre/early Jungle breakbeat records.

Enjoy enjoy!!!

NOW on the official montebello soundcloud page....
