here’s a new tradewinds track created by max floatation, chez
jonesy, and new tradewinds artist, ‘the time being’. this track
started with a solid drum track, and built up from there into a
really interesting piece of music. i’m always amazed at how the
process works, and at the side-winder like path a track takes
along it’s way to completion. the wide range of instruments makes
this final product especially intersting to me.

make more music.

this track started out with nothing more than a beat for a seed
track from max. and a nice beat, at that. from there, all hell
broke loose. you’ll hear a wide array of electric guitars, synths,
blips, blops, and samples in this one. we had four (4)
participants in on this one: max, his brother lars, myself, and
the newest member of the trade winds project, emoil (mayor of
boomcity). check out his town site here. the result of this
collaboration is, i think, the best example of how to assemble
songs over the net. great diversity of ideas and instruments, and
an interesting and enjoyable final product. take a wisten…

after nearly a year without a new ‘tradewinds’ track, i’m pleased
to announce that the project is back on the wagon with another
offering. max floatation and i have been noodling with this one
for the last few months, and we finally feel like we have the mix
about the way we like it. it’s the same old story with these
things… how much tinkering can you put into it before you say
“ok, that’s enough. let’s stop there?”

please have a listen. all in all, we’re both excited about the
track, and would love to know if you like it.

keep making music.
