Hey all! I spent the past week composing a bunch of new music and released it today as an EP called PC LOVE LETTER. Everything done in Reason, with a little extra help from Tom Pritchard's tape deck :puf_smile:

Amazing. Loved how mellow the album is, and keeps a consistent sound.

My favorite was Funeral Benefits.

Good work.

Super cool, really sounds straight from the 80's on a bad tape.

Thanks everyone! I'm thrilled that this has been so well-received :puf_smile: It was a very fun and rewarding diversion from my main album project.

It's relaxing in a "up at 2:00 am watching this slightly bizarre movie on my VCR and 12" CRT that I rented from the video store on a lark as there was a two for one special" kind of way.

Very creative and mesmerizing.

Really special project this is with a very warm and inviting vibe. Interesting note about Tom Pritchard recording this to cassette. He was one of my favorite Reason patch designers. :thumbs_up:

I really thought I was going to hate it, then I started to dig it. Reminds me of the authentic 80s.

Quality, love the overall affect (I only jumped through your tunes so far, but I'll give them a better listen later).
Only a week?? I'm clearly doing something very very wrong!
Do you know the model of tape-deck?

Well Done!!!

There are a lot of standout moments here, love the guitar on the 3rd song, has a David Gilmour feel to it....think Momentary Lapse of Reason....

You are very prolific, and are always putting out new music. In a week you made an EP....fast work! are you a full-time musician or is there a day job in the way?
DAW: Reason 12

SAMPLERS: Akai MPC 2000, E-mu SP1200, E-Mu e5000Ultra, Ensoniq EPS 16+, Akai S950, Maschine

SYNTHS: Mostly classic Polysynths and more modern Monosynths. All are mostly food for my samplers!

Thanks for the kind words :puf_smile:

For the time being, music is a side job. I think PC LOVE LETTER kind of awakened something in me — I definitely wasn't expecting to finish an EP in a week either! This has been a busy year and I've got more coming out in the next few months.
