"TwoAMonth" Ambient/Chillout/Experimental Tracks, Direct To You!

So about two weeks ago I was in the studio working on a remix, looking for a suitable sound for one of the tracks. I came across a sound that was really cool, but not for what I was working on.

I fiddled with it for a bit, started playing different things, and ended up with something I thought was pretty cool. So I recorded it, named it E8xE8, and uploaded it to SoundCloud.

I had so much fun doing that one that I decided I would try an experiment: could I do a track every other week; write, record, mix, and master all in a couple of hours?

So then last Friday I took a song I had just learned, Ivan Sings by Aram Khatchaturian, re-imagined it in a couple of hours, renamed it The 11th Dimension, and uploaded it.

I found this approach to songwriting and recording extremely challenging, refreshing and quite fun.

The tracks from this experiment will all be downloadable from Soundcloud; I hope you enjoy them, and I certainly welcome any feedback.
