YouTube Premiere of Dark Days, a music video based on a challenge to make a piece of music using a sample provided by the challenger. In my case, I chose to “over achieve” and use the sample as the source data to create all of the instrument sounds. I also chose to do the whole thing using only instruments and effects available with Ableton Live — no third-party plug-ins. And, when the music was nearly completed, it told me that it needed a video as well.

A slightly different version may be used during a live stream which will take place on Free Beat‘s channel. That version will become available on my own YouTube channel a little later in the evening.
