We had a chance to speak with him in order to learn about his approach to music production and understand his thorough process around releasing on Splice for feedback and collaboration. You can <a href=\"http:\/\/www.splice.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sign up for Splice<\/a>\u00a0and dive in to one of his numerous projects (below).

This\u00a0stemmed from my love of hip hop &#8211; think <strong>Company Flow<\/strong>, <strong>Aesop Rock<\/strong>, <strong>Madlib<\/strong>, <strong>J-Dilla<\/strong>, <strong>Mos Def<\/strong>, <strong>Cannibal Ox<\/strong>, <strong>Prefuse 73<\/strong>, etc. Unfortunately, I couldn\u2019t afford an MPC so I ended up getting an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.akaipro.com\/product\/mpk49\">Akai MPK49<\/a> and the demo version of \u00a0Ableton Live 7. \u00a0However, I didn\u2019t focus on it much, instead, I impulsively bought an Ableton Push when looking to upgrade to a full version of Ableton Live 9\u00a0after dealing with some personal trauma at the start of 2014. The Push is the reason why I\u2019ve started to focus more on music production, as up until now I simply couldn\u2019t \u2018connect\u2019 with electronic controllers.<\/p>\n<p><b>Splice:\u00a0<\/b>How has Splice affected your personal workflow when working on your tracks?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shawn:<\/strong>\u00a0Firstly, Splice has streamlined the way I manage\u00a0my files and how I share my songs. \u00a0I used to use\u00a0Google Drive to store tracks and Soundcloud for song publication but Splice has replaced those two platforms with a simple, clear integrated solution from track creation to song publication.\u00a0 I also love that you can use the Splice client to easily reopen tracks that were made on another computer without any issues.\u00a0 It\u2019s nice not having to worry about losing or messing up files and just focus on the music.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, Splice has helped me let go of some of the anxiety around my music as not being particularly polished, complete or even good. The Splice concept that everything can be shared, reused, remixed and deconstructed brings a level of equality among its participants. You can splice a session, study and learn from it which is a huge benefit for novices like myself. \u00a0When you contribute to the\u00a0\u00a0Splice community, everyone is willing to help, mentor and provide feedback. This has helped me remove some of\u00a0the emotional burden from my creation process as I feel more relaxed and ultimately allow me to make music that is better.<\/p>\n<p><b>Splice: <\/b>What was your experience like sharing your work with the Splice community?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shawn:\u00a0<\/strong>I decided to spend 2015 to focus on improving my music production and it felt completely natural to publish everything I had created up until now on to Splice.\u00a0 While I think it was somewhat of an impulsive decision, upon reflection, I think I had a couple of motives. Firstly,\u00a0I wanted to get feedback on which of my material I should continue to work and develop\u00a0on.\u00a0 It was also interesting to see what stuff was liked and spliced by the community. Secondly,\u00a0I felt like I needed to establish my sound, style and musical identity.\u00a0 If someone looks up my profile on Splice, I want them to get a cross-section of my material which may encourage\u00a0them to want to collaborate with me. Lastly,\u00a0I was curious whether anyone would want to collaborate or splice any of my tracks.\u00a0 More often then not, my songs are\u00a0unfinished products &#8211; most of my material are just sketches or parts of a song. I was curious whether anyone would want to collaborate or splice any of my songs and to my amazement, the different directions that people took with my tracks has really opened my eyes to new ideas and techniques.<\/p>\n<p><b>Splice: <\/b>How did the Splice community respond to your public releases?<b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>Shawn:<\/strong>\u00a0I was completely blown away by the\u00a0positive\u00a0feedback from the Splice community. The people were willing to have a listen, comment, collaborate and splice my tracks.\u00a0 In one particular case, I had a fairly\u00a0mediocre\u00a0sketch, called &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/shawndurrani\/cross-referenced\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cross Referenced<\/a>,&#8221; that\u00a0was spliced by two different people (<a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/whitelighters\/cross-referenced\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Whitelighters<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/concreteglass\/parallel-motion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Concreteglass<\/a>) and republished back on Splice\u00a0\u2014 their new versions were such a\u00a0departure\u00a0from what I would normally do. I was utterly floored how my material could be reshaped and rearranged into something that more closely\u00a0resembled\u00a0a song. The buzz you get from someone liking your material enough to remix or splice it is an incredible inspiring learning experience, not to\u00a0mention flattering as well.<\/p>\n<p><b>Splice: <\/b>Did it change the way you use Splice?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shawn<\/strong>:\u00a0From start to finish Splice has quickly\u00a0become an integral part of my music production workflow. I can&#8217;t go back to not using Splice &#8211; it&#8217;s part of my production process and is helping me learn to be a better musician and is a core part of my home studio setup. \u00a0During the start of my creation process, Splice underpins my project files and keeps them organized, versioned and backed up and when I am ready to finish a sketch, song or idea, Splice\u00a0allows me to easily publish and collaborate on material.\u00a0 Once you consider the wealth of knowledge you receive from splicing and learning from other\u00a0musicians out there, especially established professional producers, it&#8217;s easy to see how Splice will play a\u00a0significant part in helping me grow as a musician.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Splice:<\/strong> Thanks Shawn for sharing your input and experiences with Splice.
