about

These song cycles were all made as part of a series of group exercises that my friends and I have been participating in together since early 2016. The exercises always stipulate how long you can create for, how long your creation must be, and what you're allowed to pull from as sample material, but everything else is left to personal taste- you just have to create ~something~.
These are my 4 favorites out of 11 completed exercises- I hope you enjoy them too.

Track 1/Exercise #7 was made using music sampled from 3 thrift store finds.
I was lucky enough to find the first Aaliyah album, a Jean Luc Ponty record, and the first Ace Of Base album. This track features the first house flip I ever felt good enough about to show friends.

Track 2/Exercise #6 was made from manipulations of a single track (Run-Air) stretched out and utilized as efficiently as possible. This Track is anachronized with two small pieces (made from Janet Jackson and Cherrelle samples respectively) I made shortly after the exercise concluded but to me, embodied the same spirit as the exercise its self.
I had just learned how to use a vocoder while making this one, hence its frequent and central appearances.

Track 3/Exercise #10 was made using voice memos recorded on my phone. Before we started, I already had collected a few recordings of me scanning AM radio for a separate project and liked the way they sounded so much that I fit this entire project to the 'radio scanning' format. In my head, this is what it would sound like to scan the radio in a fantasy- every station you land on plays a quick brilliant song and every stretch of junk between the clear stations is hilarious and perfectly timed. The guitar part on the jazz 'station' was played by James Thomer.

Track 4/Exercise #11 was made using only samples of songs that went #1 on any Billboard Chart. This was actually the second time we did this exact prompt and it was so much fun the first time we wound up doing it again. This track features the same basic model for each movement: Take a pillow-y, angelic R&B sample, put a ubiquitous rap verse on top, and cradle the whole thing in a manic web of drum machine programming. Maybe it's just that this was the last one we made, but I have such a soft spot for this mix and I think that the Des'ree/Tag Team flip is the closest I've ever gotten to whatever it is we reach for when we make music. For better or for worse.

All programming/mixing/mastering by Doc H.
If you really want any of the other mixes, shoot me an email and I'll send em your way, but trust me, they only go downhill.
