Songs Made From Loops (Within DAW) Make Great Vehicles for Improvisation

Within your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) software, there typically exists a media library full of various midi and audio loops. When searching for something new to improvise over, I occasionally leverage these loop fragments, combine them into a song and hit it! Sunday afternoon (weather and sports permitting) I usually find myself in the mood to practice phrasing or improvise.

Here's a mis-mash of audio loops in Eb combined in Cubase v8.5.

Enjoy.

New Instrumental, Rock CD Almost Complete (release date in March 2017)

My new instrumental, rock CD is almost complete! I've finished the recording, mixing, and am currently mastering the songs and performing some final tweaks. The artwork is underway and the song titling process has begun.

The majority of the songs (13) are from the last 6 years or so while was finishing my Bachelors and Masters Degrees in IT Security. School preempted me from much composing or recording. I think you will really like this recording, it's edgy but melodic. I incorporated the nylon string (classical) guitar in this one. Videos of various licks from the CD can be found on my YouTube Page, here's an example. Enjoy.
