"MAKE SURE YOU GET ALL OF YOUR SONG IDEAS COMPYRIGHTEDS OR THEY WILL GET STOLE!!!@!@!!@!" it's kind of annoying

~2 comments||█▒▓█▓▒█|~ Writer's Block: Ten for the Tenth [11 Nov 2008|12:12am] Some people spend their whole lives preparing the answer to this question: What albums are on your personal all-time Top 10 list? View 501 Answers 1. Brian Eno - Another Green World Father of ambient. This balances his art-rock phase with some early ambient experimentation. 2. Steve Reich - Music for 18 Musicians Essential for any fan of minimalism. 3. Can - Ege Bamyasi My token krautrock album pick. Vitamin C is catchy as all get-out. Tago Mago and Faust's So Far almost took this spot. 4. The Congos - Heart of the Congos Well balanced Dub reggae album. LEE "SCRATCH" PERRY adds a lot in the way of really unique sonic touches. 5. King Crimson - Red My favorite 70's prog record. Starless is one monster of a song. 6. Keith Green - No Compromise Great "Jesus movement" gospel album by an artist I could never tire of. 7. David Bowie - Heroes My favorite of the Berlin trilogy albums. Love every track. 8. 16 Horsepower - Low Estate Kind of an oddball pick, but this one really speaks to me. Alternative southern gothic country. Makes me think of bell towers and gunslingers. 9. Gong - Camembert Electrique It was between this and Caravan. This one is just too much fun. Whimsical Canterbury action. 10. Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway Shameless prog favorite of mine. Gabriel was an incredibly charismatic front man.

~5 comments||█▒▓█▓▒█|~ [31 Aug 2008|03:44am] pretentious overlong description Transistor is a sample drenched, krautrock inspired romp through the more arcane aspects of recent human history. It's blissful 20 minute duration is drenched in the archaic sounds of rickety thrift shop organs, analog synthesizers, and tape trickery. Some tracks veer into full on art-rock, while others side with a more accessible indie sound. Listen if you enjoy artists like Neu!, Sparklehorse, or Brian Eno. There's also a cover of Cash's Ring of Fire I decided to throw in for kicks. track list 1 Magyar Hymn 2 End of the World 3 The Whistleblower 4 A Minute Away 5 Subterranean Nosedive 6 Ring of Fire 7 Our Lord download links Click to download the zip file!

~|█▒▓█▓▒█|~ Latest Obsession [21 Aug 2008|12:07am] Interval. New game. I'm going for an ambient/minimalist feel here. I'm also programming a (mostly) generative music engine to go along with it. The mechanics are incredibly simple, the main objective of the game is to explore. The game world is massive and seamless. There is a story, and I'm still throwing around the idea of having multiple endings. No attacks or weapons. You do have a sort of defense shield you can employ strategically in areas. There are obstacles and enemies, but you will never see the same one twice. I'm tired. :0)

~|█▒▓█▓▒█|~ [15 Jul 2008|01:00am] Job Security: My boss likes me (I think). Walking Catfish: I'm kind of excited about this. Shayne's band dealio. I'll get a chance to brandish my electric kazoo. The Littlest Army: Another EP I'm about to release. A mish mash of goofy leftover songs. David Bowie: Word on a Wing is a cool song. Maybe this will give me an opportunity to cover a Bowie song in church. Hehehehe.

~|█▒▓█▓▒█|~ New Orleans [06 Jul 2008|08:55pm] Just returned from my trip to New Orleans on Saturday night. Went with my youth group to assist people who were affected by Katrina and participate in their annual Feed the Multitudes event. They aren't afraid to work you over there. Lots of construction related stuff. As is usually the case when I go on these types of pilgrimages, I appreciate the work God is (and has always been) doing to a much greater degree. Also, there is nothing more humbling than giving a homeless person a pedicure. I've so many things to say, but my eyelids are drooping so I'm going to save them for another entry.

~|█▒▓█▓▒█|~ aw man [15 Jun 2008|02:12am] I had a few tracks I thought were really great that I did about two weeks ago. I just put them on again after a brief "listening hiatus" and I absolutely hate them and I don't know what I was thinking. :(
