Lampshades Cycle 2: Audio

, ,

I am happy to announce that Lampshades are now available to the public! You can find the new music on my Soundcloud page. The whole collection is also available for download through my Bandcamp Page. These works were primarily composed and recorded during a 10 day period in the Aabaco Bahamas this past April. All songs were composed, recorded, and/or sequenced using various iPhone and iPad apps, and then were edited and mixed in Logic Pro. It was intended to be an experiment but I thought some of the stuff came out pretty cool. I figured I'd share some of my favorite pieces that came out of this process, and allow my friends and fans to download it to their iPhones, iPads, or whatever mobile contraption you happen to use. I hope you enjoy, and if it you guys like it we can start talking about Lampshades v2.0.

I actually enjoy the grind of keeping up with Twitter and Facebook, making sure I’ve got the latest articles from the Times and Journal, and trying to remember all those coupon codes in my email. I’m not here to complain about all that wonderful stuff. Rather, I’m writing to complain about a few notable doofuses and they're followers who are trying to stifle all that.

Technology Gave Music a Ring, and Then They Said "I DO"

If you haven't noticed I happen to be a believer in technology and the benefits it has on our lives. When it comes to integrating technology into music and art I am even more of a believer. I've always said if a new technology is more efficient, easier to use, and cheaper than its predecessor it will be adopted by the masses. Take communication for example...
