Spring is nice.

I took advantage of the really nice weather earlier tonight and spent the majority of the evening biking around with my sampler in a backpack, collecting a bunch of audio samples like the huge fucking geek that I am. I was sketching myself with my thoughts while standing on someones front porch while attempting to record wind chimes, wondering what I'd even say if sometime came outside and found me standing in front of their home with a huge SP-404 and monitor headphones.

So I've been writing this script for an animated rendition, but I haven't really touched Flash in about 5 years, so...I thought I'd make a short preview for the project I'm working on. I apologize for how totally fucking boring it is. The animation itself isn't gonna be anything like this...I swear. It'll be actually animated, and hopefully funny!!



AS I MENTIONED, I've been working on a series of cassette tapes with a bunch of new content. I've been sort of slacking on posting new fun things, but I hope to have at least parts of these tapes posted sometime this week. Maybe my lil' EP too?
THANKS.
I keep having to kill spiders, centipedes and other fast-moving insect motherfuckers around my house. It must really be spring.

Everything you do is a balloon.

Sorry for the delay, I am still alive and well, just busy lots of things, and I haven't exactly done or made anything worthy of posting on my blog, which is the entire idea of this blog; sharing things that I think people will find interesting.
But, there are lots of new exciting things coming soon, in a variety of different mediums.

Here are some clues as to what I've been working on.





Until later!,

This sort of explains something.

Bored.

Recorded with one track into my looping pedal.
Enjoy!

Hi yo silver, away.

I've really slacked on the blog lately, but for good reason.
I finished my first EP a couple days ago, so that is good and ready if anyone wants a copy. I'm sure I'll cave in a few days and just post the mp3's here.
Last Saturday some friends and I went to downtown Hamilton and I had my first official show at this art party in a gallery on James Street. Weird times, but good times.
I'm exhausted from working, and don't have much to say. Here's a mix for you kids to enjoy for a while. The whole thing is just one big mp3 rendered at 192 kb/s so it's surprisingly small. The background is made from some old photos I found while emptying out old files from the 1990s in the warehouse of moms work for extra money.
If anyone wants a copy of my CD let me know, it'll be arranged.

Omegle...

My friend Kate showed me this link earlier tonight, and I've spent (wasted) the better part of the past two hours on it. Basically you get on this site and it automatically pairs you up with a random person, and you chat. Either person can disconnect from the conversation at any point, and start another conversation with another, totally anonymous person. All I've really learned is that it's flooded by 4chan goons.

Omegle

Omegle is a brand-new service for meeting new friends. When you use Omegle, we pick another user at random and let you have a one-on-one chat with each other. Chats are completely anonymous, although there is nothing to stop you from revealing personal details if you would like.

I wish I'd saved some of the more interesting conversations, but here's a few excerpts:

Stranger: you know edible arrangements?
Stranger: i was thinking
Stranger: what if there were edible arrangments
Stranger: except with dried meats
Stranger: so like a turkey jerky petunia
Stranger: and a beef log stem
Stranger: and with all this populist outrage over the financial crisis i could serve sundried CEO heads as the centerpiece

-------------------

Stranger: Evnin
You: Hi there
You: How're ya
Stranger: Fucked over, not litteraly tho :(
You: Oh shit, why?
You: Is everything ALRIGHT?
Stranger: I cinda go, Given upp, And let down..Desserted, And i cried
Stranger: But its never gonna give me upp, Never gonna let you down..
You: Oh no.
You: Ricky
Stranger: Im afriad so
You: D:
You: D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
You: After a while they stop looking like D: and start looking like :D
Stranger: ^_^
You: It's like bipolar disorder or something.
Stranger: Mhm, It feels like getting rickrolled by your fucking 50 year old parents

Yeah.
