1) 'Daisy Chain' Ableton Live Set (Original by Tom Rolls)
I am proud to present this live set of my final University Professional Portfolio Project. The first track 'Daisy Chain' is one of six tracks from my Debut Album.
The prominent theme within this song touches on self-growth as an artist during the recent Global Pandemic. Yes we have all in some way been chained down by restrictions, but this metaphorical daisy chain is not a constricting one, but rather a chance to develop and view life from a new perspective.
Everything in this performance is run live through Ableton, and I'm using the Novation Launchpad to trigger loops and create my song structure.
The visuals displayed behind me are ones I've made, and combines film with animation for a unique sensory addition to the music.
