mm-cc stands for Morning Music & Coffee Consumption.  It is an idea started by Jared Smith at uprlip.com. The concept is simple. Get together with your friends early on a Sunday morning and make some music with them. I’m hosting an mm-cc on the first Sunday of every month over the summer. This is the second one I’ve done. This time I brought the modular synth out and began the noise-making with a patch. It was a peaceful patch which set us all off on some mellow tinkering with the instruments. Eventually, we hit our groove and the jams meandered in and out of different rhythms, melodies and bass lines. We started and stopped quite a few times and I recorded almost all of it. I had trouble choosing which melodies to highlight. I narrowed it down to two of my favorite ones. Even though I knew that having both of them in full in the video was going to make it too long, I decided to cut a short snippet from the second one and tack it to the beginning of the video. The visual element in the video is a bunch of slitscans I’ve created for use in an upcoming music video. I used this months mm-cc video as an excuse to play around a little with these shots. I pulled some of my inspiration from Don Whitaker’s “Liquid Meditations” ( I hope you like! You can see all of the previous mm-cc videos at
