A Day Ahead of The Snow



NOISY SOUND RELAY second official release.

We recorded this short session two days ago. It snowed in Louisiana for the third time in my life one day ago. We must have caused this.

The first recording was cut short by angry neighbors, so this is basically two versions of the same song.

I recorded the bass track after it snowed, but i had only heard the full track once before.

TURN ON YOU

I'm in the planning process of a very large information design project (Information Design examples) about an american singer songwriter (not going to say who) and i've been working on some ideas for visual representations of the data (yes... graphs). Here's the first of hopefully many to come.

This is a chart of Wilco's recording and album release schedule from 1994's "A.M." to the 2009 release "Wilco (the album)".

The colors used for each album are pulled from the general color of the cover art.

an art show.


recently i put together a soundtrack for an art show put on by a local company called Hot Garbage. they make designer messenger bags out of completely found materials, but are not at designer prices.

the soundtrack consists of 3 brand new songs and 6 other demos that i've been working on for a while. this is mainly a solo project. enjoy.

little more


in late December of 2008, my neighbor and i did some experiments with Holophonic recording. this is best experienced with headphones b/c the point is to create the feeling of a room or a space around you using only two speakers or sources. the listener should be able to tell from what direction all the sounds originate in a 3D setting... in your brain.
