Reason 6 Sounds

Drum designing and running my B3 Organ after market sounds through Fender amp effects in Reason 6. This is such a deep and gorgeous sounding program! Getting the tones I am collecting for my next album and film projects. 

More Burnt Orange Percussion Sessions

Did some more recording of found object percussion for Burnt Orange and the Rats & Gassers Soundtrack. Man I really love the way my old magazine display rack sounds (see bottom picture). I used it extensively in Hot Rod Girls Save The World. Sound is everywhere. 

Orange Percussion

The "Board" to the left of my stand up drum kit features all kinds of
springs and metal bits to bang on. Besides standard mics, I attached a
contact mic to the bottom the "The Board." 

Working on a new percussion and drum set sounds, performances and loops for the Rats & Gassers:Kustom Kulture Takes A Ride Soundtrack and my new album Burnt Orange. Using mallets I played various one hits and rhythms into my older Mac  running Cubase VST and then exported the tracks for editing in Reason 6. Pretty exciting stuff, new timbres and directions for my rhythm tracks. I am looking for a more organic, found sound percussion sound, kinda like Mitchell Froom and Tchad Blake's  work with Latin Playboys.

New Sounds For Reason 6

Got a bucket load of new sounds for Reason 6 the last few days- including some extremely convincing Hammond B3 combinator patches and Kong vintage drum machine patches. I have been using Propellerhead's Reason since 2001 (over a decade now!) and really dig the new features and effects in Reason 6. I am using this program almost exclusively to record my new album Burnt Orange. I want the new album to have a vintage surf, post-punk and twang kind of vibe. Vintage drum machine loops with big strange drums and percussion on top, twangy Hellcat VI over post-punk string washes and quirky organ tones. I was doing some self analysis last night and after listening to a few of my fave tracks by The Reds (Big Boy), Jonathan Richman (Roadrunner), Elvis Costello (Pump It Up) and The Lyres (Don't Give It Up Now), I realized how vital rock organ is to these bands (and the sound I am currently looking or). Strange how it can take serious insight to bring out the obvious. New D.A. Sebastian & he Inner Demons, Drums, Organ/Keys and Hellcat VI? maybe an Upright Bass too?

D.A. Sebasstian & The Inner Demons - Burnt Orange

Did a rough of my new album cover art entitled Burnt Orange. Wanted something simplistic that didn't give any real preconceived notion as to what the music will sound like beforehand.
