Radiohead - Missed Opportunity?
I got up this morning and smiled, realizing today was the day I could d/l the new Radiohead album, In Rainbows. In checking the usual sites, I read about people who’ve already downloaded the album, and of course the truckload of digital noise about this crazy new business model yadda yadda…. (which I won’t add much [...]
SOUNDTRACK and Updates
I’m writing this from the family cottage (or Mom&Dad’s place) somewhere in the Quebec wilderness and fall is definitely here in spectacular form. The finest fall colours I’ve seen in a few years…and I thank my lovely wife Michelle for helping me resist the urge to stop every 10 minutes on the drive to take more fall [...]
SOUNDTRACK - delays
Folks, I’m sad to announce that SOUNDTRACK is officially not going to be ready for October 31. My apologies to anyone who has been anticipating it, though not to worry, it is still coming.
See, I just picked the date out of the air back when it was sufficiently far enough away to allow for any [...]
SOUNDTRACK - video
I’m off on vacation for the next two weeks, but I’m toting my trusty laptop along to put the final touches on a bit of a video for SOUNDTRACK. I plan to do some editing and polishing while gone and post it at www.sound-track.ca when I get back.
I’ve also been trying to think of exactly [...]
SOUNDTRACK - new music, imagery and forum
There’s a new track and slideshow playing over at www.sound-track.ca. Head over and have look-listen, and then discuss your impressions good or bad on the micro-forum onsite. You’ll find a link to it on the menu bar at the top of the page - Discuss.
A video is in the works, but it’s a daunting task [...]
SOUNDTRACK micro site is UP!
I’m very pleased to announce that SOUNDTRACK’s official website has been launched. Set your controls for www.sound-track.ca for all things album related, pre-release music and video, ambiguous storyline suggestions and project minutae. This album represents about 2 years of planning and recording, and 3 or 4 ‘tear-down and start again’s. This incarnation of the project [...]
Album Notes/Skinny Puppy
Awesome! I was cruising the net a month or so ago, and happened across a website of a very stylized illustrator. I instantly fell in love with the esthetic of his work, and immediately saw the link between it and the music I’m working on for the album. It’s surreal, suggestively dark, but overtly so, [...]
Brad Sucks - Changing Gears
Played our final show with my axe-work on Saturday at Greenfield’s Pub, and I’m happy to say we did in fact bring the rock. Played with The Joshua Morin Band, who were much fun and sounded great! Big thanks for a last minute inclusion in this show.
I’ve got mixed feelings about the whole [...]
Holiday Music!
I am a total sucker for Christmas music, can’t help myself. So much so that every year for the past few I’ve been recording versions of some of my family’s Christmas favourites as a gift to both them and close friends. Last year, late in the season, I discovered the Podsafe Music Network, and uploaded loads [...]
