A loving update.

Sorry for the lack of updates or solid material lately, I've been ridiculously busy with school related stuff and for some reason every piece of musical equipment I own seems to have broken in the past two months and I can't afford to fix it all at once, it's a huge fucking drag.
But thanksfully I'm going to be moving into my own apartment in Toronto just up the street from my school in November which I'm hoping will usher in a new creative spirit I can exploit for the rest of my my days, also no more commuting to Toronto and back three times a week.
I'm going to leave you with a download to Memory Tapes new album 'Seek Magic' that's been getting me through my days. Enjoy!

~*October Mix*~

DOWNLOAD

1. Bibio - Flesh Rots, Pip Sown
2. Washed Out - Feel It All Around
3. Casino versus Japan - Late For School
4. Memory Tapes - Green Knight
5. Circulatory System - The Lovely Universe
6. Ducktails - On The Boardwalk
7. Lotus Plaza - Sunday Night / Untitled Song (Live @ The Eyedrum ATL Sept 22, 2009)
8. Bibio - Kaini Industries (Boards of Canada cover)

This is my favourite mix so far. Apparent is my latest infatuation with the pseudo-genre 'chillwave'. Also I can't think of anything better to bookend an October mix with than Bibio (covering Boards of Canada omg?) The live reording of Lotus Plaza is from his first live show ever. Incredible stuff. The image I used is from a picture I took in front of my high school about three years ago, probably while smoking cigarettes first thing in the morning.

Cardboard camera.

3:1 scale cardboard camera I made for my form and structure class. Didn't quite finish until 7 30 this morning. Pardon my face.

Mixtape download

I put a little zip file together which a bunch of songs I've recorded over the past year, some that have made it to my blog, and some that haven't. There's a couple demos from the next recording I'm working and some other treats. I might post a track-by-track explanation into each songs meaning and origin later.
For the time being, enjoy and have a good week.

A friend copied and saved this off my old MySpace page years ago. I made this in grade 8 I think.

Ambient Micromix #1

In response to the rising stress associated with first year university I put together a little micromix (concept ripped from the DH forum, obviously) with some of my favourite ambient tracks that seem to help me chill the fuck out and feel okay and warm about myself when the rest of the world lets me down. It's stuff to listen to while walking alone on a cold autumn day. I hope you enjoy it. Sorry if it's hard to tell when certain tracks end / start.
