Charlie Patton on guitar

Inside Amococo

I used AIR Xpand 2 as a plug in to Pro Tools to create the music for this clip in about 15 minutes, just recording the first thing that came into my head. I'm playing 4 different "instruments"/ patches at once using Xpand 2, with the complexity coming from using its in-built arpegiator. Feel free to ask me how to do it if you want, or AIR User Group blog has a good video tutorial on the subject.

Hypnotic Brass Ensemble

I was lucky enough to see Hypnotic at the Adelaide Womad yesterday. Man! Catch them if you can. I could rave about these guys for hours, but i'll just let their clip do the talking.
