I'm in Japan for a couple of weeks.. Apart from providing a break from hectic London life, it's also gives me a chance to work on some of my own music.. I've got a whole heap of Ayota tracks, all in varying states of completion, and this new piece of music is actually written as an outro to an existing piano improvisation. I wrote it a couple of days ago, and thought it would marry quite well with some video I took as our train pulled out of Osaka station bound for Nagoya..

Before becoming an Ableton Live 'convert' about seven years ago, I was almost exclusively using Logic, and still love revisiting it, especially to provide an alternative approach to writing and programming. Every DAW has it's pros and cons, and one thing I always rely on in Logic, is the Take Recording and Swipe Comping functionality.
