After that i did the banjo and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">ADT'd</span></span> that so i could pan it to one side but still have it take up space on the other.

It's weird to have this falling out and coming together at the same time in life, but i guess this means I'm off to a new chapter, i just wish every time i moved on with myself it didn't feel like i got cut off from the world as it was before.<br />But on the music front, the albums starting to come together on my end, i think I'm done the majority of my tracking for 3 or 4 songs and have been writing a lot more lately, something about hectic emotional ups and downs always gets me writing a lot of music.<br /><br />Some music<br /><br /><a href="http://www.yuntaa.com/FileManager/DetailsView.aspx?FileID=6D89E8D513B11432E04400144FB7B71E">Flies on my Duck</a> - Mellotron Cell0 and Choir, Vocals, Timps, Banjo, Acoustic and Vocals) these are just my tracks for the song, its still missing drums, piano, bass and glockenspiel<br /><br /><a href="http://www.yuntaa.com/FileManager/DetailsView.aspx?FileID=6D89E8D513CA1432E04400144FB7B71E">Take A Little Time</a> - Vocoded Bass and NaNa's with Roland SH-1000 and Yamaha CS-01, Acoustic Guitar, Bontempi Organ, Circuit Bent Sk-1, SH-1000 random note Generator, Vocals, 808 and probably something else I'm missing Again no Drums, Piano, Bass and vocal Harmony.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.yuntaa.com/FileManager/DetailsView.aspx?FileID=6D8A1DBD91F61896E04400144FB7B71E">Dancey Dance Dance?</a> - Just a thing i made the other day fooling around with the CS-01 through a emulation of a Mutron Flanger and moog analog delay, my Danelectro 59Dc through a big muff, Boss Space Echo and a Whammy into A Fender Deluxe Reverb and a sampled Dmx drum kitTyson Brinacombehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05771577977799836799noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186310446128788828.post-91459760473773131512009-04-23T16:39:00.000-07:002009-04-23T16:47:54.555-07:00HospitalsJust got back from getting my gallbladder removed.<br />I can't stand up for more than 30 seconds without the feeling of needing to vomit and also extreme <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">discomfit</span> in my abs.

I've been addicted to books lately but everything I got was on the list of things I wanted to read anyways, so i guess it's not a bad thing. I picked up Ray Davies's "X-ray" his unauthorised biography of himself, "Electric don Quixote" another bio about Zappa, "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" an autobiography by one of the merry pranksters during the summer of love and "Gonzo" a Hunter S. Thompson Bio. I really like reading biographies about authors i find interesting before i dive into their work, especially authors that write autobiographical works, it seems to bring you deeper into the works. kinda like reading about an old friend.</span>Tyson Brinacombehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05771577977799836799noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186310446128788828.post-37763468742318417752009-01-13T12:21:00.000-08:002009-01-13T13:37:50.433-08:00My Favourites 08<p>2008 wasn't that remarkable of a year for me, half of the albums that i was looking forward to hearing didn't come to be this year (Clues, Starlight mints) and ones by bands i used to love just seemed to disappoint (Islands, Of Montreal) but here are the ones i did like in no particular order.<br /><br />1. Tobacco - Fucked up Friends<br />Taking a more instrumental/hip hop approach to the same formula that made black moth super rainbows dandelion gum so awesome last year Tobaccos album wasn't a show stopper but is consistently good enough with a few great moments to probably be my favourite album this year.<br /><br />2. Beck - Modern Guilt<br />While the risk taking, genre bending Beck of last decade may be gone the new beck sure knows how to set a mood over the course of an album. I think this is the first time Beck has taken a big stab at more 60's styled music, tho he dabbed in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">pscydellia</span> before it is was a more post modern version. Song for song this isn't one of Becks best efforts but i give him points for always trying something different.<br /><br />3. The Bicycles - Oh No, Its Love<br />Expanding on their debuts style the new album is more hit and miss but still a very good pop album. On some of the songs the bigger production values seem to strangle the songwriting a little bit, not enough to hate the songs but enough to slightly annoy you. In other places the album tends to go a more 70s route than the 60's styled pop the first album specialized in, but a lot of the more mediocre ideas only last 30 or 50 seconds and its on to something fun and funky again.<br /><br />4. Man Man - Rabbit Habits<br />This record didn't win me over at first, but eventually a lot of the material really grew on me and it turned out to be one of my favourites of this year. The record has the instrumental prowess of 70's Zappa and mixes it with the strangeness of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Primus</span> and that's bound to turn more people off the band than on to them, but under it all the songs are strong and the instrumentation, i think is well chosen and played.<br /><br />5. Unicorn Dream Attack - Love Bits<br />I just got this in the mail a couple weeks ago but its one of the most original pieces of music I've heard this year. Made mostly of game boy beats and old <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Casios</span> it gives you that warm feeling of being 8 and playing video games. One thing they have on other 8bit or <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Chiptune</span> music that put them ahead of the pack is the vocals, although <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">vocoded</span> are sweet and melodic as opposed to the sometimes harsh and abstract <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">approches</span> of other 8bit groups.</p>Tyson Brinacombehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05771577977799836799noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186310446128788828.post-51780813746071625012009-01-12T12:51:00.000-08:002009-01-12T12:55:08.656-08:00New 4th Floor Crest<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DgrdAA2UrI8/SWut7HnzhrI/AAAAAAAAABI/Y2WdjH-92fY/s1600-h/crest.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290513418446669490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 306px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DgrdAA2UrI8/SWut7HnzhrI/AAAAAAAAABI/Y2WdjH-92fY/s400/crest.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Incorporating</span> elements of the crest of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Britain</span> and the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Bahamas</span>, i think it turned out nice.</div>Tyson Brinacombehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05771577977799836799noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186310446128788828.post-58942385669227591072009-01-11T19:30:00.000-08:002009-01-11T19:37:37.562-08:00some covers i did with my toy keybords.

He didn't seem to be very interested by anything, when i asked him his favourite music he just said he couldn't listen to any if he wanted to write music because it would come out the same as it went in. But after an <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">aquard</span> hour or so we left and went to food and the antique store in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Galt</span>.<br />At the store, which is more like a warehouse I ended up finding a good selection of records all for under $10. Really good considering antique stores usually mark everything up a ton.

Found myself a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">children's</span> toy i circuit bent to get some pretty weird sounds (ill upload a video later) a channel selector from an old stereo so i can <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">switch</span> between computer and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">protools</span> sound easy, a portable radio with a mic input i wanted to turn into a portable amp but was broken, some speakers for my stereo, a couple B<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">eastie</span> boys <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">VHS's</span> and a old <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Kawai</span> keyboard that looks cheep but has some soul, it sounds like a super <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Nintendo</span> game.

He reminds me a lot of Colin <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Meloy</span> if he played the Ukulele, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">apparently</span> this was another <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">SUF</span> connection <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">although</span> since i have stopped posting on the forum he found me over face book via Dean (another dean) who runs the forum/ rack and ruin records and is an all around cool guy.
