Waste Is The Place

Posted on August 5, 2011 by Michael Orecchia

Version Three: I made some drops and changes. I think it’s a bit cleaner now, but it still needs a lot of mixing.

Here is a direct download link for your portable music devices: waste.

This was filmed at the Vancouver, BC aquarium on December 31, 2010.
Music created in Ableton Live using sampled material. I left in some of the aquarium chatter for background effect.

Underground (literally) Mix

Posted on February 1, 2011 by Michael Orecchia

This mix was done in Ableton Live. It is a short part of a set that I created for a gig that I did in an underground parking garage for the S.F. Bicycle Coalition in summer 2009.

My goals for this set were 1.) Use an acappella that spanned the mix between 2-3 tracks. 2.) Blend loops underneath tracks in the mix 3.) Create long blends between tracks using looping and Ableton Live’s advanced warping technology to keep tracks on tempo that would normally never work using standard DJing methods (i.e. vinyl records).

Mid-Tempo-Mini-Mix by Michael.P.Orecchia

Tracks used:
Loops/a cappella
Robot for Brains – Spacefunk
Flying Lotus – GNGBNG
J Dilla – Lightworks
Spacek – 1st Stroke (Funkstörung Remix)
Beck – Hell Yes
Aesop Rock – N.Y. Electric (heaphone science remix)
