My brother is convinced I must have drowned in a past life. Reason being that I never properly learned to swim and don’t care for having water splashed in my face. The odd thing, though, is I have very clear memories of being at an aunt’s place in Winnipeg and […]
Behind the Curtain

So a few days ago when running errands with my father he blurted out that he’d put my new CD (Malfeasance) into the stereo in his truck and listened to it. Kinda an awkward moment because let’s be blunt it’s not exactly the kinda lyrics someone wants to hear their […]
Sitting in the DJ booth at CiTR Radio during 24 Hours of Radio Art, airing the 3 hour long series of compositions I created for this (“Shrug“). Thinking a couple things: 1. It’s better than I thought (there’s usually a gap in between finishing any album and being happy with […]
So after procrastinating for a couple months, because writing bios is my least favorite chore, I finally got a new bio written, just in time to order some one-sheets for the college radio mailout for Malfeasance. Here it, will add some more links into it as things are ready to […]
Well, I guess it’s a good time to look back on the last year. Not going to go into too much detail, it’s all in the blog somewhere or other from when these things were fresh… Kicked off the year with a stint on CiTR Radio’s annual 24 Hours of […]
Well, time for another blurb as to what I’m up to this week. I’ve finally gotten settled into the new space. Got my monitor stands so my monitors are properly set up instead of sitting at chest height on my desk. We’ll pretend that that will make some sort of […]
So I’m working on the next noise piece, and the first segment involves spoken word run through a couple different delays and FX loops over static and drums. Tonight’s Beavis and Butthead moment: Delay FX of one spoken word line, “from either direction,” keeps morphing it into “I need an […]
Mostly been rehearsing live arrangements the last couple weeks, but I’m also starting to brainstorm for the album art for the next release, Malfeasance. Also making the final to-do list, finalizing the track listing, and working on the last couple songs. So… not too much to report in terms of […]
I should call these bi-weekly updates, I always seem to forget one week and post the next. Phew! Got one of my two cover submissions in to COMA Music Magazine, and with 2 weeks to go before the deadline. That was my new wave cover, “Lie to Me” by Depeche […]
Logged on to Twitter this afternoon to see a post from Dave Ogilvie saying that Bill “Kill” Kennedy had passed away today. Bill was one of the best engineers in the business, and a great producer too. Best known for working with Megadeth, he worked with loads of acts, from […]
Well, it’s been a bit of a crazy week, which I guess is fitting for the lead-up to the full moon. Let’s see here… I guess the start of the week was all about frustrations with one project/album that’s already been delayed for 6 months is starting to look like […]
So I finally got around to writing that booze song I’ve had an idea for since last August. Thinking about it for a year, then it only took half an hour to actually write it. Thinking maybe “Sapphire” is a good title, especially considering the inspiration tonight.
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 […]
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 […]
