Sigrun
put this together for a remix contest for Canada's public broadcaster. Thought it was great, but it didn't get anywhere. I had a totally different, much more industrial-sounding version that I also sent in that also didn't didn't make it, and wheras it took easily 18 solid hours to do, this probably took 4, and was by *far* the more superior.

Three Blind Mice v2
So this is the second run at it... did add some bass, as well as a couple of other horns as pads in the background (trombone and mellophone)...
I actually think the trumpet is sharp, too, but I haven't yet had time to re-record it.
better?

Blues for Paul
preparing to record an EP for official release this year, and am really moving in a new musical direction: much simpler with fewer chords and more melodic lines. so this is really a demo that I'm hoping to extend for the "official" recording later.
and therefore... this is by no means a final product... and in fact, if someone could give me some hints on how to make sequenced drums sound better, that would be amazing.
thanks!
