From the 2013 JUNO-Award Winning Album "I Have A Dream (It Feels Like Home)"

Love this song! It's simple and to the point. Keeping this on repeat.

Curtis Price passed away early Thursday morning (May 30, 2013).

Curtis and his family have been a blessing to me and my family and I am grateful for the time we spent together sharing music and Christ.

Better Is One Day Remix Darwin Hobbs Sample Flip Beat by TaurusBeats aka Taurus M. James

Moody Instrumental Music by Taurus M. James Sampled Music, Remixes and Cover Songs

"Better" is a sampled hip-hop beat that I created after listening to "Better Is One Day" by Darwin Hobbs. I had been listening to "Better Is One Day" for years. It is a great track to worship to. The beautiful musicianship really comes through and that is what I wanted to highlight in my track.

Is this a REMIX?

Video Make Beats with Reason Pat Benatar Sample Flip Remix by TaurusBeats

I use Propellerhead Reason, Propellerhead ReCycle, Sony Soundforge and many other music production tools.

In this video, I show a little about how I take samples from an existing song and then rearrange ("flip") the samples into different patterns before "wrapping" the flipped sample patterns with various instrumentation I perform.

"Love Avalanche" is a sampled hip-hop beat that I created after listening to "Like An Avalanche" by Hillsong United. It is a great worship track and I wanted to highlight the moodiness of the original in my track.

I love to make beats with Propellerhead Reason 6. I also enjoy making videos that show how I make beats and Moody instruMental Music. The videos are my way of sharing my experiences and discoveries in my music-making journey.

Here are videos showing how I was inspired to create Moody Instrumental Music from a simple bass progression played on a MIDI keyboard.

I get inspiration for my Moody Instrumental Music from many places. Sometimes, the most basic thing triggers the creativity in me. This video series shows an example.
