Event Horizon – Exodus (Part 2)
Part 2 of Exodus, the musical exploration into people leaving planet Earth in search of other biomes
Event Horizon – Exodus (Part 1)
This is a collaboration between me and Rick van der Eerden from back in 2017 released under one of my project names: Event Horizon. It’s the 1st part of a two-piece musical exploration about how wasteful, virus like and expending mankind can be. Eventually leading to an exodus to other planets…
Armandox – Dark Emotions
Everybody has this darker place in their soul, hidden somewhere. Most of us keep it locked up and hidden away, but every now and then it needs to come out and surface. So this is not at all a polished track, but rather raw, gritty and even angry. From the core to the core…
“Dark Emotions” is a musical voyage into the enigmatic abyss of the human soul, an unfiltered exploration of the concealed emotions that dwell within us all. Armandox crafts a sonic tapestry that unravels the complexities of our innermost shadows. This raw and gritty composition serves as a cathartic conduit, urging listeners to confront the unspoken turmoil within, fostering a profound connection to the visceral beauty of vulnerability. In the unpolished notes and resonating beats, we find an invitation to embrace the authenticity of our own darkness, transcending it into an exquisite symphony of self-discovery.

Koto – Dragon’s Legend (Armandox 30th Anniversary Remix) VIDEOCLIP
In a creative venture, I remixed Koto’s “Dragon’s Legend,” aligning beats with visuals from the classic Dragon’s Lair laserdisc game.
This project, remixed a couple of years ago for the 30th anniversary of the song, involved syncing my remix with scenes from Dirk the Daring’s adventures. The result is a seamless fusion of past and present—a tribute to gaming’s golden age and a celebration of the enduring power of music.
Mixing Music Across Genres and Eras: Funky Gospel by Jeff Lorber Fusion
I have always loved many music styles, which includes jazz fusion and funk. There is something about the groove, the harmony, and the improvisation that makes me feel alive and inspired. That’s why I was thrilled when I discovered that one of my favorite YouTube channels, Produce Like A Pro, featured a song by one of my favorite bands, Jeff Lorber Fusion.
Produce Like A Pro is a channel created by Warren Huart, a Grammy-nominated producer, engineer, and musician. He shares his knowledge and experience on how to make great music in your home studio, using affordable and accessible tools. He also offers free multitracks, courses, contests, and discounts on his website.
The song he featured was Funky Gospel, a classic tune from Jeff Lorber Fusion’s debut album in 1977. Jeff Lorber Fusion is a jazz fusion band led by keyboardist Jeff Lorber, who has been making music for over four decades. He has collaborated with many legendary artists, such as Kenny G, Chick Corea, and Mike Stern. He has also won a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album in 2018.
Funky Gospel is a catchy and soulful song that combines the elements of jazz fusion and funk. It has a tight rhythm section, a funky bass line, and a smooth saxophone melody. It also has some interesting chord changes and modulations that add some spice to the song.
I was so excited when I saw that Produce Like A Pro offered the multitracks of Funky Gospel for free on their website. I immediately downloaded them and opened them in my DAW (digital audio workstation). I wanted to try my own mix and sonic vision of the song.

The Joy of the StudioLive 64S
After a few months of working on different projects in various locations, I was thrilled to bring back my PreSonus StudioLive series III 64S mixing console into my home studio. I have been longing for the power and flexibility of my favorite digital mixer. I was eager to reconnect it to my speakers, microphones, instruments, and computer, and start making some awesome music.
The StudioLive 64S is not just a mixer, it’s a complete ecosystem that integrates with my stage boxes, personal monitor mixers, switches, and other StudioLive series III mixers via built-in AVB networking. It also has a 128-channel (64×64) USB interface that enables me to record and stream with ease. And with the quad-core FLEX DSP Engine powering 526 simultaneous processors, I can handle any mixing challenge with 76 mixing channels, 43 buses, and an astounding array of effects and plug-ins.
As I set up the mixer on my desk and connected it to my gear, I felt a rush of excitement. I remembered how easy it is to recall my settings with the touch-sensitive motorized faders and seamless integration with my Studio One DAW. I also appreciate the onboard multitrack SD card recorder that let me capture live performances and do virtual soundchecks. And I love the intuitive workflow and the sleek design of the mixer, with its color-coded buttons, LCD screens, and scribble strips.
I turned on the mixer and watched the lights come to life. I grabbed my headphones and plugged them in. I opened up my Studio One DAW (the integrated software that comes with the mixer) and loaded up one of my projects. I pressed play and listened to the sound.
It was amazing.
The StudioLive 64S deliveres superior sound quality with its patented digital control over analog circuits and its lauded analog XMAX mic preamp design. The sound is clear, crisp, and balanced. The bass is deep and punchy. The highs are bright and airy. The mids are warm and rich.
I smiled and reached for the faders. I started to tweak the levels, EQs, compressions, reverbs, delays, and other effects on each channel. I use the 32 FlexMixes to create aux buses, subgroups, or matrix and monitor and streaming mixes as needed. I can assign channels to DCAs to control groups of them easily. I experimented with different sounds and styles, from rock to pop to EDM.
I am in my zone.
The StudioLive 64S is more than a mixer. It is my partner in crime. It is my creative tool. It is my musical inspiration.
The whole house and garden suddenly became a recording studio. It is great to have it back right beside me in my home studio, where it belongs!
