[audio: qd-4223-porta-loser_acid42remix.mp3] Back in January 2005, QED Records released a short, alternative rock/industrial EP called "Porta" by the band called Porta -- one half of the band was guitarist-vocalist Rann Golamco and the other was electronic producer Emorej. I decided to try creati
Here's an '80s-inspired synthpop tune made entirely in Propellerheads Reason which mixes a typical pop beat with some ethnic instrumentation and a lot of soaring synth pads. The result is a bouncy, positive, feel-good theme for a Friday morning. I dug this one out of a backup DVR I created fo
Back in 2006 (I think), I put together a remix of Christina Aguilera's "Aint No Other Man (Acid42Mix)" The acapella track was well done, inspiring me to sequence a some bouncy beats and semi-aggressive synth lines. I put the mp3 up on Imeem a while back but since Imeem's been bought by MySpace, the
Here's a remix I made for Jemex's track "Palma." Combining some of the piano melody with a big, booming breakbeat, this remix tried to create a gritty, urban atmosphere to the ambient, melodic parts in the original track. I did this for a remix contest, wanting to flex my muscles on Acid Pro 7, b
Here's a big beat remix for Kylie Minogue's smash hit of 2005(?) "Slow." Created it using Acid Pro 5, and a whole buncha loops and VSTi's. Always had an affection for her music.

This is my remix of a lovely tune entitled "Spacetalk" by the duo My Parasol, (one half of which is Spazzkid). I slowed it down to 100 BPM, and added a whole bunch of dirty, gritty drum loops, distortion, and a few softsynths for bass, electric piano and organ pad. [audio:my_parasol--spacetalk_ac
In 2005, I wrote a rough guide on how I use Propellerheads Reason software for live gigs, in response to a growing number of questions from fellow members of Electronica Manila. The rough guide was a PDF document outlining 3 major ways to view the software and included practical tips on setup and pe

I wrote some lyrics to a typically jangly pop song back in 1996/1997. The original tune sounded like a Letters To Cleo song (I was listening to a lot of jangly guitar pop rock then). I recently dug up the lyrics and thought it might be interesting to get someone else to write and produce a new tu
A few years back, I wrote a PDF tutorial on how to use the software Reason for live performance. I never got to update it, so it's circa Reason version 2.5, but it still has some interesting tips on how I personally use Reason in a performance set-up. Download the old PDF here. Acid42's Guide t
