Pyramind Elite Session - Alex Plays - part 1
I met Alex through a Grammy Music For Visual Media Day last year. As usual, the SF Chapter of The Recording Academy put together a great day of panels and informative presentations. My favorite part of these events is always the networking and getting to meet new and interesting people in the industry. I was hanging out in the green room getting ready to moderate a panel on video game music composing when I first met Alex. He was talking about the music he had written for Warner Chappell’s Non-Stop Music library and his involvement in the production of Cirque inspired World Music for Cirque EOS “Acrobats and Maniacs. We started talking and soon found we had many interests in common including Ableton Live, Singer/Song-Writing and Mountain Biking.
Over the series of numerous rides together through the trails on Mount Tam we decided to do some jamming and he played me some of the songs on his newest album, “Take It Slow”. I told him I was impressed by the live feel and production quality of the record and that’s when he told me he had performed all the parts himself. Knowing how important live performing is to today’s recording artists I asked him how he intended to pull off the record live. At the time he wasn’t certain but six months later he reached out to me to propose the idea of a “One man show” presentation at Pyramind. He had spent the past six months taking all the muli-tracks he had recorded for his record and warping them in Ableton so he could build out his one-man show. Knowing the depth of his talent I was eager to hear more.
