who didn’t pay for a White Pearl Headband.

Here is a picture of what I, apparently, look like:

For the first time in my life I can say that I’m actually hot!

Well, with the things I have experienced the last few days I took my energy and focused on a new track – but it is for another project, not the one I had been working on the the last month.

Here you go: JP/VMS – Enhanced (Demo)

As with all other Demos this is not mastered and is in no way the final product. Rather, this is 6 hours of getting the form and structure down for the rewrite.   Some studio notes…

1) Need to change the lead guitar (maybe)
2) Remove the reverb/echo on backing hit
3) Rearrange lead synth, keep pattern
4) Shorten the high hats echo
5) Remove 32 beats from break, 32 beat from second lead, remove 32 beats from end

All things considered, for just sitting down in a few hours and putting something together, this is not bad at all.  With some polish this has a lot of potential.

Here is another track for you…

An unfinished remix of Dreamstate from the “All the things that could have been” E.P., encoded at 320 KBPS. The remix has a nice blend of straightforward dance and ambient.  

Due to the high encoding rate and lenght (around 10 minutes) the file is rather large so take this as advanced warning.

Sonicstate – Dreamstate (Unfinished Remix)

I love how the 303 slowly comes into the track and simply blends in without standing out in the mix too much. Good stuff.

When I did my “Arrangements for Sex” E.P. I decided to have several different takes on the track titled “Naked”.  As the EP was simply intended to be background music, I wanted to have something a little more… upbeat… something one could move to, if they so desired.

Here is the result of that effort, in MP3 format:

Naked (Big Wheel Mix)

Naked (Mystic Morning Remix)

Naked (My Heart Beats Minimal Breaks Mix)

As with the last set, I hope you enjoy.  Please feel free to share with anyone you so desire.  I have no problem with the distribution of these files in any format so share away.

I have always enjoyed good, relaxing, background music. Sounds to simply set the tone or mood for a nice nap, bath… or setting the tone for intimacy.

For about 6 years now I have been producing electronic music and, in 2007, I decided to take a break from the ambient / trance / electronic genre and put together a few tracks intended for background music – nothing more. The following tracks make up the “Arrangement for Sex E.P.”

(if you want to save to your computer, right click the links and “save as”)

Track 1 – Van M. Santos – Naked.mp3

Track 2 – Van M. Santos – Thank You.mp3

Track 3 – Van M. Santos – Morning After.mp3

Track 4 – Van M. Santos – Afterglow.mp3

Track 5- Van M. Santos – Angel.mp3

They tracks are encoded @ 320 kbps, so the files are larger than normal.

I hope you enjoy the tracks and please feel free to share with anyone you so desire.  I have no problem with the distribution of these files in any format (torrent, ftp, p2p).  All I ask is you leave the mp3 Tag info included.

Enjoy!
