Having been in the middle of moving in December, most of my studio was packed away, including my microphones, my keyboard and my drum pad controller. All I had to play with was my software. So I thought, “What kind of song could I do without any musical instruments?”

I dug into Sonar’s provided loop content, and played around with the program’s “Matrix View” which allowed me to drop loops and samples onto virtual pads, then trigger them in real time and record a performance.

Ripping some choice samples from youTube and adding one clip of music that I actually wrote (using my mouse), I sliced and diced until I ended up with a catchy little dance tune. Of course, given the content, I had to create a video to go along with it. Hashtag Rob Ford indeed. Enjoy!
