  • Random Song of the Day #16

    This RSotD is cheating a bit.  It’s me.  This is a remix of @artfulmark’s new Coffee Break demo (which you should also check out).  You should check out the other remixes of Coffee Break, too. ArtfulMark – Coffee Break (jazzs3quence’s glitched-out remix) by jazzs3quence

  • [RPM2011] Tracklist

    What I don’t mention in this video blog (but I did on my blog on The RPM Challenge) is that I’ve also decided on a title for the album, Wasp.  You can head over there if you want the full description, I’m too lazy to repost something I’ve already written here. Also, an interesting thing…

  • A History of Bedroom Music Production — Part 2

    RPM2011 is 9 days away and it seems appropriate to finish this retrospective series before RPM starts.  Part 1 of this series covered the early beginnings of my interest in music up through high school and eventually turning to the computer as a means for producing and recording music.  Part 2 will cover how that…

  • Create a pop hit in 8 hours

    This is something I would never do: try to create a hit pop song in 8 hours.  It’s not that I couldn’t, it’s that I wouldn’t.  These guys, on the other hand, did.  I think it’s awesome. You can download their song, “Lights, Camera, Action” here.  (right-click, save as…)

  • Random Song of the Day #15

    Today I’m going to do some shameless self-promotion for the random song of the day: my remix of Amanda Palmer’s “Map of Tasmania” from her new album “Amanda Palmer Goes Down Under.”  To be brutally honest, I don’t really like the song all that much.  I saw “remix contest” and I jumped to enter before…

  • Random Song of the Day #…uhh…14

    Yes, it’s been a while since I’ve done one.  I’ve been waiting until I had a chance to figure out which one of @TheBoyEllis’ songs on Soundcloud I should use.  In the meantime, this one comes courtesy of @tpbdotorg: Now I’m going to go download his album, which you can do, too, right here.

  • [RPM2011] Writing a soundtrack for a book

    For anyone curious, here’s a copy of my notes (an earlier draft, I’ve added to them a bit since).

  • A History of Bedroom Production — Part 1

    Mark started his history of music production yesterday, and I thought I would follow suit.  I’ve never documented the process.  As I warned on his blog, my history is messy and doesn’t involve fancy equipment.  In fact, to a large extent, it mostly involves the cheapest equipment available.  But I’ll get to that. It all…

  • [RPM2011] A really freaking early video update

    For no good reason, I sort of decided to video blog my progress in RPM2011.  This is my first update.  It is 21 days until RPM2011. Sign up for RPM: www.rpmchallenge.com Or, if you’re already signed up, sign up for the 2011 Blind Chaos experiment here.

  • RPM2011

    It’s getting to be that time again.  The time where musicians vow to create and complete album of 10 songs or 35 minutes in the 28 days of February.  I’ve officially signed up, making this my fourth RPM (I didn’t finish my first attempt for RPM07 due to some overly ambitious goals subsequent technical issues).…
