hi there.

i uploaded a couple new drumloops to my mixmatchmusic-page, so go check them out…

i uploaded two loops to mixmatchmusic. you can find them by going there and searching for ‘boomy-hiphop’ or you can go to my profile-page and find them there. i created them by playing live on a midi-controller, the software for recording and further messing around was Reason. two hiphop-kinda-loops with a quite boomy and a little dirty sound. they should work perfectly as loops but somehow the preview over there has a gap between the end and the next beginning. maybe some kind of flaw of the site (not really flaw, but it sounds a bit strange…) – i’ll look into that…

those are two variations of the same groove, i’m gonna do a couple more so it doesn’t get too boring when someone wants to create a song with them. it’s good to be able to choose between 4-5 similar loops to make it come alive…

although i mentioned this site before, i think it’s time to point you there again now that it’s up and running. the site is mix match music and it’s just an awesome idea to say the least. this is exactly what’s the internet best at: connecting people and making it possible for them to create something together even if they’re thousands of miles away. and hands down, if this world needs something, it’s more teamwork.

so this approach is about teamwork and collaboration in a musical way. there are two ways to participate: you can either sign up as an artist and create pieces of music like a guitar-riff or a drumloop for instance and upload it to the site. or you can be a ‘simple’ user who contributes by just going to the site and mixing together some of those pieces (they call them ‘stems’) to create a song. either by downloading and working with them offline, or by using the tools available directly on the site. you could also make money by participating: if someone uses the stem you uploaded and creates a hit with it, you’ll get your share. actually, they can explain this much better than i, so go there and get into it a little. i’m a fan already and at this very moment i’m creating some drumloops to upload there – great fun…

by the way they really do care about their users, i emailed them with some questions and got usable help in no time – thanx guys, way to go…
