210 sound tone bank

I was playing around with sequencing my Casio some time last year and made this song.

I lost the original recording of this when my hard drive crashed, and only have this MP3 from Myspace left to document it's existence.

Juno106

Recently on Matrixsynth there was a collection of Juno106 samples up for grabs. After screwing around with them a bit i made this indulgent four-on-the-floor tune:

Despite going to sleep very very late, I woke up early and went to Dusty's (the diner) for breakfast by myself this morning. Brought my drawing stuff, and got cracking.

I managed to finished a poster that I started last night, and then promptly lost all ability to concentrate on drawing, and couldn't continue working on jobs that I need to get done.

So instead I read a bit of the novel that Westcott lent me, Oryx and Crake.


Then after a couple chapters, I made this drawing while drinking heaps of mediocre drip coffee:

And to my surprise today the eggs weren't cold or slimey. bonus.

Saturday Night in Montreal

For those of you who missed it:



August 17th Megazoid, Gislain Poirier and Khiasma hosted the third ever Bridge Burner; A soundsystem underneath the Van Horne overpass next to the train tracks.

I was somewhere by the projector.

Take Anything

Another free mp3!

take anything.mp3

Ruby plays this song with her band My People Sleeping. (I produced their EP for them. go check it out!)
This version is a rough sketch--you can hear a truck passing by the window on St.V in the ambient track. I didn't feel like closing the windows, and that is what I got for my lazyness. It is still very nice, and the rawness is charming.

We just threw it together one lazy summer afternoon for kicks before watching my favorite fantasy movie of all time: WILLOW...

Which for some reason makes me feel the same way Christian the Lion does.

Stampz are sooo cool!

When I cut a stamp for making a patterned background, or whatever, I regularly test stamp it on a page to see where I'm at.

Usually the page ends up looking something like this:



Here is an animated gif of the stamp evolving (I just learned it is supposedly officially pronounced "jif". gross).

Gickr only allows 10 frames, but its kinda fun anyway.

...Unfortunately I can't find any art that I made that actually uses this stamp pattern.
