Here are 3 things to jumpstart your music-making!

1 - Free Magic Kalimba Ableton Live Pack

I've released a free sample of the Magic Kalimba Ableton Live Pack. It allows you to morph between two "magic" Kalimba sounds.

For this pack, I've recreated a realistic Kalimba, and processed Kalimba samples through a wide range of effects and sound design processes to create all kinds of unique sounds you can use in your music.

It contains:

A realistic multi-sampled, round-robin Kalimba.
A sampled to cassette tape Kalimba.
33 additional sounds made by processing Kalimba samples through hardware & software audio FX.

Unlock the power of the Magic Kalimba for your next song!

2 - Showing Your Work with Rich Shivener

Author of Living Digital Media, Rich Shivener spoke with me about his book and his work. I loved his points about sharing your work process as you go. We discussed how important a supportive community can be for artists, as well as embracing limitations and imperfection in our work.

3 - Filmmaker Robert Rodriguez on Creativity

Here's a clip of filmmaker Robert Rodriguez discussing the creative process. This clip is very inspiring, but I really recommend the entire conversation. It's one of the best podcasts I've heard in a long time. Tons of wisdom: "Don't Blink." "It's not you." Highly recommended!
