Portrait of Ian Era

I rebuild progressive house tracks from scratch to understand why they work. Not roughly by ear: note by note, chain by chain, until the arrangement holds up next to the original.

Two things come out of that. A video every two weeks where I open the session and show the three decisions the track stands on. And the whole project, in case you'd rather open it yourself and dig around.

These aren't stems or a loop pack. It's the file I work in: the full arrangement, the racks intact and the automation where it belongs.
