After The Kitchen split, I started drumming for Piper Davis. Here’s a clip from our second show together…

I composed this musique concrète piece last year for Barry Truax’s Electroacoustic Music 347 course at SFU. I entered it in the JTTP competition for young Canadian composers (but didn’t win anything).

TMBG wrote a song about every venue on their 2004 tour.
Here’s Richards on Richards.

Apparently the internets have videos of me playing drums to a relentless cow bell click track.

Does anybody I know like They Might Be Giants? They’re playing at The Commodore on September 25th and I must be in attendance.

I was so entertained by the songs that play when trains stop at major stations that I recorded them. All I had to record was my sister’s compact digital camera in video mode, so I captured the video too. Here it is.

This is probably only interesting if you’ve been there recently.

But why settle for a ghetto recording when you can just play it on piano…

I did a home-recorded demo EP for my friends in London Spy. We begged, borrowed, and stole a bunch of gear from The Kitchen, and set up in a south granville basement.

I’ve done bits and pieces of audio engineering, but this was the first project to incorporate a full band, dampened live rooms, multiple monitor mixes with talkback, and complete instrument isolation. I sort of just copied the workflow I’ve seen when The Kitchen has been in the studio. Everything was recorded through a Digi002 Rack and mixed in Pro Tools. For mastering, I applied generous amounts of a 14-band multicompresser, and then a nice dither and hard-limiter. For never having mastered a recording like this before, it turned out pretty well.

You can hear the tracks on London Spy’s MySpace page.

We did all the tracking in a weekend. Here are some photos…

Try to sight read this. Got it? OK now try to do it using the sticking that’s marked.
