Evan and I had a pretty wide ranging conversation. I was excited to learn how he makes his music move with so much groove; he shared some great tips. We spoke about his work and touring, as well as how teaching can often be the best way to learn. I found Evan’s overall attitude and approach to work really inspiring. There’s a lot of great info in this episode. Enjoy!

Today we talk about some rhythm theory. The differences between Triplet, Quintuplet and Septuplet swing aka the drunken drummer groove. The chord sound was created with "Lounge Lizard" and the synth sound I'm using for the solo is created with "Arturia Mini V".

In this video we take a look at the newest Ableton Live 10 Suite pack called the Probability Pack which contains five max for live midi effects that can mess with midi information using a variety of randomization and probability settings.
