...and greatest? You be the judge.

I think I've got myself into a bit of a Dilla rut after working on Hoodlum, need to keep working towards something original. I was gonna record some extra guitar but it seemed unnecessary.

I didn't realise quite how mental javelin throwing was:

New Track - Hoodlum

Hoodlum by dr rasclut

I fancied making some Dilla beats, and this is the result. I spent ages sampling around, that's the hard part. You've gotta have a really good ear, and not just for rhythm and beats. Finding snippets of melody can really bring it together too. I think you have to have a go at it yourself to realise how genius people like Dilla really were. I do enjoy it though, it's just a completely different practice to writing guitar based pop tunes.

I sequenced all of this using Cubase, but I'm hoping to dump all the samples on to my sp-303 for any live situations that may happen to arise in the future...

More 1st year animation

'My second and final 1st year animation. It is a short exploration of the theme 'people' based on observation/imagination, and the city/urban environment. The final product is basically a compilation of a few experiments.'

It was in the last few days of the project when I chucked everything into After Effects that I realised how important the editing process is, and how much I enjoy it. I'm a computer nerd at heart...

It includes a condensed version of me very own 'Shaken Fizzy' for the soundtrack, which seems to fit nicely with the looped drawings and represents a cyclical urban culture.
