16 PADS

My name is Benson Lam. I created this blog for my Social Media course at Art Center College of Design. I will update regularly promoting both music I make and music I like. Thanks for visiting! (The Sound Cloud links are all songs made by me.)

An old song I made from 2009, wish I had the files to still edit this.

Same guy, different video. 3 beats.

This guy went to the same high school as me, super good at performing live.  Here he is playing one of his songs on two MPC 2500s simultaneously.

This is another short loop I made.  The sample is Betrayal by Gang Starr.

A short loop for a song idea I created.  This is more of a dub style beat, I haven't decided what to add or subtract yet.

This is a video I made, the song is by me and the video is ripped off youtube.

Check this guy out! Crazy live MPC skills.

Another song by me, still haven’t gotten visuals to work yet.  I want to incorporate more visual elements to my music to help progress the overall mood of the beat.

Nujabes - Arurian Dance

[16-pads-blog]

An idea for a song, I have a lot of these loops but rarely do I progress these beats into full songs.  The sample is Ancient Source by Caldera.

Hello.

This is my first post.  The goal of this blog is to provide a platform where I can promote my own music as well as share content from people who influence and inspire my music.
