Ghoslty Swim
This is an awesome free album put out by Ghostly International and Adult Swim. Lots of good electronic music on here, and it features a live mix by Tycho.
I think my favorite track is Light Powered by Daestro, but I’m only about one and a half listens in.
The whole album seems terribly squashed, but it’s probably appropriate for the style.
Iconfactory Sticker Icons
I love these icons so much. Check out both packs of application icons and the system pack. I was using the system pack for a while but dropped it in favor of these. They are a lot easier to look at a huge list of.
My dock is full of the stickers right now, and I really like the look of it. Unifies things a little bit.
I especially like the look of the System Preferences replacement
and the Mail icon
I think they’re my favorite application icons to date, but I wish people would widen their color palette a little bit. Docks too often have way too much blue.

Original song is here
This is an Ableton Live Pack (.alp) for use with Ableton Live. I created the set with Live 7 and I’m not sure if it’s backwards compatible. The set file should be, but I do make heavy use of some of the new features of 7:
There are a few instances of Operator, too. I’m sure you can find viable alternatives3 to these.
I’m also using a couple (free) third-party plugins:
- LiveCut from Smartelectronix
- mucoder’s wonderful hypercyclic
I’m having fun with my new copy of Live 7. I think it was definitely worth the student discounted price I paid for it, and I will surely use it for educational purposes only.

1 I think this was introduced in Live 6, but I believe it got some tweaks for the new version.
2 This replaces Compressor I and Compressor II from earlier versions and is way better.

“John Locke Syndrome”
This is a piece I’ve been working on for a while. I tried to experiment with things I don’t usually do, and I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out.
I’ve also uploaded the Live Set if anyone wants to play with it.
