New track

Posted on Jul 18, 2008

I have a new track posted in my music section called Hippies with Guns. I really like this one; it just came to me with little to no roadblocks in the creative process. I hope you enjoy it!

I also also re-posted an updated edit of the Apocalipstick track with Jamie Leigh. I tightened up the mix and added some more variations on the percussive elements, particularly towards the end for mix out.

The Invisible Language

Posted on Jul 18, 2008

Things have been pretty fast paced since I finished school in June.  With lots of preparation and planning for both the Eclipse festival (our pre-wedding honeymoon) and the wedding itself, which is taking place on the weekend of the Equinox in September. Both Colleen and I are delighted and indeed very excited to be attending a festival where our west and east coast crews may be present for what I'm sure will be an experience to be remembered. I remember joking about "how cool would it to have Darvin play our wedding party" 2 years ago when we first  were engaged, now it seems as if our wish is somewhat coming true. 

I feel that I have become much more aware of those signposts of life, the hidden language, that when you are paying attention, they can help steer you onto your path, or help confirm your choices.  One of those experiences was about a month or so ago, when Colleen received an e-mail from Nori with a link to the mix for which Colleen was creating the CD art...I was sitting re-reading my absolute favorite comic book, The Invisibles, while listening to the mix, when I stumbled across a particular panel.

Hey Honey...what is the name of the mix we're listening to?

More new music to come soon, I promise! Peace from the East.

Equinox

Posted on Apr 15, 2008

I just posted a brand new track in my music section, which I have been working on as part of my final term project for the Recording Arts course I'm taking. It features the return to the sound I was into a year ago when I joined the Area709 crew, as I wanted to challenge myself to create another track with lots of melodic elements. I'm incredibly pleased with how the track turned out, especially after running it through a nice tube compressor and EQ. Although I am still into the dark, dance floor destroyer tracks, I have a feeling I will be balancing it all out with melodic compositions such as this from time to time. I hope this track gives you that warm, fuzzy feeling when you listen to it. 

Only one more week of school, and then it's off for 5 weeks of work term. I can't believe how quickly the year has gone by!
