The origins of Moombahton
The Creators Project recently caught up with Dillon Francis and Diplo to discuss the origins and growth of the relatively new electronic sub-genre Moombahton. A hybrid of various genres, Moombahton has no immediate predecessor. Is it down-tempo Dutch House or Electronic Reggaeton? You be the judge. There is no clear definition yet the mass appeal and “freshness” of the new sound are creating waves in the EDM community.

Regeneration Music Project
This is a great in depth look into the creative minds of Skrillex, Pretty Lights, Mark Ronson, The Crystal Method and DJ Primier as they collaborate with artist outside of their respective genres. The result is a wonderful insight into the approach each producer uses to complete genre-hybrid musical projects.
2011 Media
2011 was a year of much discovery for me. Besides researching audio engineering to develop a better understanding of post-production, I took time to branch out and work with media companies to help score their soundtracks. It is a great learning experience stepping out of your comfort zone to create music specifically for a scripted piece of media.
Here are some of the media soundtracks I completed last year with The Up Team, Media by BDG, 9180 and Models International.

Articulation
Articulation will be a music post/blog dedicated to the discovery of new and inspiring musical compositions. As a songwriter and producer, I am constantly searching for the latest musical arrangement and production techniques. With the intent to help expose new production methods and ideas, the purpose of Articulation will be to share truly original compositions that are at the creative forefront of their genres.
To start off, here are a series songs that I have recently found to be creatively relevant to modern production techniques.

Jive created an edgy forward thinking vibe for the conference right from the start, and it definetely felt like we were part of an exciting new direction in enterprise software!

The four-day U.S.-China Forum on the Arts and Culture came to a crescendo with a series of musical performances featuring cellist Yo Yo Ma at the National Center for the Performing Arts in Beijing on Friday night. Mr. Ma performed in various combinations with artists from both sides of the Pacific in what Orville Schell of the Asia Society, one of the forum’s sponsors, had earlier billed as attempt to bring a jazz-like spontaneity to a space that tends to host more stilted events.
The highlight of the show, however, came when Mr. Ma teamed with Memphis-born street dancer Charles “Lil’ Buck” Riley for a reprise of their earlier collaboration on “The Swan” by composer Camille Saint-Saens. China Real Time has more.
