First note of the bassline for “Membrane” caught on “film”. Using the SH-32 from MIDI programmed in ProTools.

Technically a two-week update since I forgot last week… 1. Video for “Trouble Thing”: Whipped this up last night, then went on a downloading rampage for more weird old 40s and 50s educational videos to use in future archival footage stuff. I plan to get one made for each of […]
Bob Lefsetz on artists having something to say, more specifically he’s talking about Joni Mitchell: Bob Lefsetz: “Woman of Heart and Mind”
So today is “SOCAN Day,” that quarterly payout of artist royalties for airplay on radio, TV, etc. through Canada’s performing rights society (equivalent to ASCAP). I fucking hate SOCAN Day, because for me as for anyone else getting airplay primarily through Canadian college radio, it’s pretty much a big middle […]
Found my old photography portfolio hard drive tonight as I’ve got to sort through and find certain shots for album art. This isn’t one of the shots I’ll use for the next EP, but I thought this would be a fun one to share. The guy is from some porn […]
Ken’s starting to wonder if Barbie really does have a medical degree. I mean, sure she’s got the “I Can Be A Veteranarian” playset and she does keep dressing up as both a nurse and a doctor, but he can’t shake this feeling like maybe the solution to seasonal allergies […]
… I’ve noticed the speed on my little fan dipping a few times in the last hour and the lights have flickered too. And while I haven’t looked outside, many of my local friends are Twittering about lightning here in Vancouver. And no matter what the guarantee promised by the […]
Previously: Digital Hell part 1, Digital Hell part 2, Digital Hell part 3 So today I got the call to go pick up my replacement MBox, and the store made damn sure to test both Firewire ports on the new one to make sure they both worked. Brought it in […]
Of course I must point out we tend to use FireWire not USB in audio work. But I think such nitpicking is probably within the spirit of “productive obsessions” so there.
Remember that fucking kid you always hated in school? The one who ratted you out to the teacher if you didn’t want to play with him? The one who no one wanted to play with because he was an obnoxious prick? You know, if he didn’t win the game he […]
Previous posts on this problem: Digital Hell and Digital Hell part 2. Update: Digital Hell, conclusion And the plot thickens… I’m now getting the error 6085 every five seconds of playback. [Again, this is ProTools 10 on a brand new MBox Pro 3rd generation running on an iMac.] Digging deep […]
Previous: Digital Hell part 1 Later updates: Digital Hell part 3, Digital Hell, conclusion So… I have just spent the last few days chasing down this fucked up growling distortion that appears on tracks as I record them in ProTools [newly updated to ProTools 10 and with a new MBox […]
Updates/further posts: Digital Hell part 2, Digital Hell part 3, Digital Hell, conclusion Borrowed the title from a Raggedy Angry song, fits my last 48 hours, though (that or Malhavoc’s “Totally Fucked Up”). I just spent the last two days in noise Hell. No, that’s not the title of a […]
