Here's my deconstruction of the classic Gorillaz track 'Feel Good Inc', performed live at Sonar+D in Barcelona.

Really great to deconstruct this seminal track by Sister Sledge, written & produced by the legendary team, Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards.

After watching the recent NHK documentary on Ryuichi Sakamoto, I've been a bit obsessed with the beautiful piano intro on the first track of his 'Async' album 'Andata'. I thought I'd transcribe it - I'm sure it's not perfect, but I made a video anyway..

I'm attaching the score to this post.
I used Logic Pro X's factory Bosendorfer for the piano sound.

I was lucky enough to be invited out to Berlin last November (2017) to give two presentations at Ableton's annual 'Loop' event.

This was my main presentation which was a deconstruction of Massive Attack's seminal track from 1991, 'Unfinished Sympathy'.

Here's my latest deconstruction of Calvin Harris' summer anthem 'Slide' ft. Frank Ocean and Migos.

It was inspired by Calvin's 'How I made Slide video which you can check here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQlKelwPX4A

I enjoyed checking out his studio which included some great synths such as the Jupiter 8, Prophet 5 and PPG Wave.

I recreated some of these sounds using the Arturia plugins. You can download the presets here: http://bit.ly/2G2EEvt

Here's my deconstruction the classic RnB track 'Twilight' by Maze.

Originally released in 1985, to a relatively modest reception, the track was a torchbearer for the loops and bassline style that would go on to define house music.

It's also a love letter to one of my all time favourite synths the Yamaha DX7, and a chance to look at the fantastic Arturia DX7v plugin.

This was filmed last November at SARM Music Village, just after Trevor Horn deconstructed Relax!

I was really lucky to get my hands on Ableton Live 10 a few weeks ahead of the announcement on 2nd Nov 2017.

I'm loving the new features, especially the new clip manipulation features in the Arrangement view.

Wavetable synth is gorgeous too!
