I have been using Ableton Live since version 7 and have written a number of songs mostly using guitar and keyboards with it. I write and record my own music with a good friend and we have posted some of it on the Internet. My musical tastes range from Prog Rock to Blues to Electronic. I am new to Blend and plan to post some projects in the near future.

This is a track I have been working on for a while. It started with an acoustic guitar rift from my friend and musical collaborator Wayne that starts the track and provides the underlying rhythm. I added my lead guitar part which took it in a different direction then was originally planned, but inspiration can do that sometimes. I was then able to add a keyboard solo from my friend Paul who also uses Ableton to create his own music, which makes collaborating really easy. I used both his audio from his keyboard and his midi stream so I can mix other sounds with the keyboards which I did in this track. I work mainly in an "old school" manner where I work on the basic elements of the track on guitar and a basic drum track. I then use Ableton to record all the audio bits and then fill out the track with extra percussion, vocals, other instruments, audio effects, mastering and so on. I hope you like it.

Andrew Moloney, thank you for your comments. The bass is real with a few affects thrown in for good measure.

Nice job Doug. Some nice layers in there, and great to find someone else not just doing 'electro' stuff. Nice anounr of bass underpinning it too - real bass or midi'ed?

I still plan to add more to this track and I continue to refine and expand it further.
