Music!

Have some news on the music front to report on. In "Old News" a old band of mine called International Grey just had a EP from 2010 reissued which you can check out. A Post Rock project with keyboards and all that stuff. You can read a bit about the project in this interview with the Guitarist Jeremy Wilkins.  Lots of dynamics and textures in this one.

But coming back to modern timelines you can here two new tracks I recorded of the new Punk project I am in called Trouble Cuts at Bandcamp. Power trio line up that has a lot of energy and hooks. Keep an eye out for our shows around town.

Just something to listen to during your work day. Gotta love a 15 minute guitar solo. 

New Work in the Wild: BdRm Album artwork

Some album artwork I did was just released out into the wild.  Jeremy Wilkins recorded some lovely instrumental piano tracks he released under the name bdRm.  I really enjoyed the music and came up with this atmospheric piece that I felt meshed with the music well.  The subtle branding was a bit daring to do as it is reaaaaaaaaallly subtle but once again, I believe that it echoes the subtle nature of the music. 

You can get it on:

bdRm on iTunes.  bdRm on This World is Against Me.  BdRm on Bandcamp.



Band Artwork in Progress

Working on some imagery for a local band called "Whiskey or the Concrete" here is one of my concepts that I was working up the past few days.

Rick Rubin Interview

I never decide if an idea is good or bad until I try it. So much of what gets in the way of things being good is thinking that we know. And the more that we can remove any baggage we’re carrying with us, and just be in the moment, use our ears, and pay attention to what’s happening, and just listen to the inner voice that directs us, the better. But it’s not the voice in your head. It’s a different voice. It’s not intellect. It’s not a brain function. It’s a body function, like running from a tiger.

 

“There’s a tremendous power in using the least amount of information to get a point across.”

Great stuff here for anyone in the arts.
