New player, new remixes, new life for previous projects 2007-10-01 22:56:46 Hey all - Been a while since i've posted - it's been an awfully busy couple of months. Anyway, got quite a few new items I wanted to share - lots of things currently being Deprogrammed. =)NEW PLAYERYou may notice I've implemented a new media player
on both the Myspace and my main sites. I'll keep this updated periodically with new tracks. It's organized by project type, indicating whether its Film/Trailer Sync, Production Music, Licensing Reel updates or Remixes. The first 2 tracks are examples of some of the exclusive work i've been doing for FIXT Music and Position Music. In fact, those 2 songs are part of the 6 tracks that will be featured in their upcoming Volume 32: Electronic CD, which will be serviced to the industry very soon. In the meantime, I've been hard at work continuing to deliver additional production tracks for FIXT/Position for future releases as well. More info on those soon.NEW REMIXESCELLDWELLERJust finished Read more:remixes

"It's great to see more people involved this round. I just want to thank all the remixers for making our lives difficult, because there were so many good remixes this time around that we've had a hard time narrowing it down to just 15 finalists. In fact we couldn't. We had to bump up to 20 finalists and we have over 50 mixes that will be officially released via CD compilation or as part of a bonus digital download pac Read more:Announcement

Proof of Concept video published 2007-02-04 03:26:05 So I've been spending a lot of time playing Microsoft/Epic's masterpiece "Gears of War" on my Xbox 360 lately. If you havent checked it out - you NEED to now.Last night, I wrote a track, that's a work in progress at the moment, but heavily inspired by the game.To get a better gauge of how some of my work might feel up against some visuals, I went ahead and remixed the latest Gears of War trailer. The progression seemed to work really well, and I think it turned out great.Check it out, and lemme know what ya think....http://www.deprogrammed.com/remix/vid/gow-remix.htmlDeprogrammed.comDeprogrammed on MySpace Read more:Proof

2 new trax + new artwork/branding 2007-02-03 21:07:29 NEW TRAXHey all - I've uploaded 2 new tracks to both the Myspace profile and the recently re-worked Acidplanet profile1. Cr0psurKilz: Little green men invaded the studio one night and apparrently wrote this track, as it was sitting there when I awoke for my slumber....2. Dragonfly (Code_Stamp Edit) : A remix I did for a really cool ambient/downtempo artist by the name of STOMPP. Those that are active in the Propellerhead Reason community will be very familar with this name, as he has provided many killer sound design items/refills for the software over the last few years, and it was an honor to put this mix together. As I type, he is currently doing a remix of one of my tracks - more on that soon..... (Also, be sure to watch the Acidplanet profile for additional remixes and tracks. Currently working on one that will be exclusive on that site for Amethystium. That track will be available soon.)Let me know what ya think. NEW ARTWORK/BRANDINGYou'l

The first post.... 2006-10-30 02:49:30 Welcome to the official Deprogrammed blog. Gonna keep this first post short and sweet - been real busy as of late doing tons of experimental work in Reason. Been using this software for a little over a year now - and the more and more I get into it, the more amazed I am at what I/it is able to pull off. In fact, shortly after purchasing Reason, I sold all of my outboard gear and physical keyboards, and went 100% PC.I am currently using Reason 3.04, Recycle 2.1, a host of Refills (currently sitting at 24 GB - I had better back that folder up one day....hmmm...) - an M-Audio Axiom 61 MIDI keyboard controller, an M-Audio Fast Track Pro audio interface, and my trusty Alesis M1 Active studio monitors. I can't tell you how liberating it is to not only have room in my studio, but also be able to proudly say the cord mess is pretty much a thing of the past.So as I say I've been busy doing a lot of different work - gotten a lot of really great feedback from friends - sitting on about 64 track
