Reason 4.0 Jan 14


Hello again, ok I have slacked off since before the holidays, so I better get back on track. In the spirit of MacWorld starting tomorrow, I'll talk about some geekery. Yesterday I picked up a copy of Reason 4.0! I've been looking forward to this move. Some of my favorite ...


Billboard

A musical outlet to keep me occupied, Plastic Minds has been an evolution of sorts over the last 8-9 years. Despite my roots being more into blues since learning the harmonica 13 years ago, I have been attracted to many electronic sounds. I explored this using Propellerhead's Rebirth back in the day, putting some quick techno tracks together or just jamming out with friends. I now graduated to Reason 3.0 which I have been creating most of what you hear on this page. I love melancholy music, techno, industrial, anything with cold emotion. I love processed drums, 303 screams, and strings. You'll hear all of that here. I tend to move towards pop structures, and use Underworld and Orbital as big influences on melodies. Nine Inch Nails has played a roll on my sound since long before dabbling with this, so hats off to them. That's about it, hope you enjoy!
