Well it's my birthday today, but I decided to give you a gift instead of me getting one. I'm giving out my new EP Precipice for free.

I decided to do this EP because I was working on a new sound for my music, but it was going to be along time before I actually finished the full length so I decided to do a couple more songs specially for an EP to be released as a sort of precursor to the full length which is called Mountain Range which should come out some time next year. The sound on this album is a little bit more aggressive and straight forward then the stuff that's going to be on Mountain Range. It's kind of a perfect transition from the stuff I've been doing to the stuff I'm working on now (even though I didn't really mean it to be that way).

I was really influenced by a couple things while working on this EP. Most notably the musical stylings that appear on the new 65daysofstatic album, and the new Fuck Buttons Albums. That really heavy rhythmic sound with perfect synthisization. Another thing that really got me going on this album was I started to listened to a lot of 8-bit artists, particularily the band Starscream. Even though it may not jump out at you I tried to throw a little bit-y-ness into each song. And Lastly I started to really work with sampling, I used it mostly for vocals (because I can't really sing), but the good ole Lion, Roar! also helped me out on the song Architeuthis.

If you're still on the fence you can stream the song Earth Turtles over at my soundcloud:

THYME TRAVEL

The ep is a little behind schedule (mostly likely it'll be out next weekend), so I decided to release one of the tracks I've been working on for my next album. It's a lot different from what's on the ep, as well what I'm working for my full length. This is just some music I'm screwing around with in the meantime. It uses some samples from Simon and Garfunkel's song Scarborough Fair, and there is some original stuff in there. You can expect an album of about 8 or 9 tracks like this near the end of the year. I don't have a title for the album yet, but the temporary title I'm using is Weathered.

ARCHITEUTHIS (epic drum mix) Featuring LION, ROAR!

Here is the first look at some of my new music. This is a version of one of the songs that's going to be on my EP, that's coming out in a couple weeks. The final version is going to have completely different drums and an overall different mix. The vocals are provided by the awesome Lion, ROAR!

LOCAL NATIVES - CAMERA TALK (WOLVES REMIX)

I was browsing Hype Machine the other day and saw a banner ad for Local Natives advertising that they had stems available for download. They had four songs to choose from, and instead of picking the one that I liked the best. I actually just picked the one that had been done the least amount of times, and it turned out it was the song Camera Talk (which actually hadn't been remixed at all at that point), so i decided to do that one. It turned out to be a great choice because it had an awesome strings part, and a really moody chorus.

Update: Check out the remix up on the official Local Natives Remix page HERE.

OCARINA ORCHESTRA

I've been fooling around with this one for a while. This is sort of a sequel to my FFVIIM3G4M1X. It's a remix/mash-up of the soundtrack to the video game The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time.

FISCHERSPOONER - INFIDELS OF THE WORLD UNITE (WOLVES REMIX)

So apparently I have the worst luck when it comes to remix contests. First it was the Kristen Wiig/Macgrubber one getting closed a week early, and now this. I just got an email saying that my remix for the Green Shoe Laces/Dim Mak remix contest got rejected. I'm not sure why, but as far as I can tell, it's because I live in California, and for some reason people in California can't enter. No idea why. Here's the remix any way.

Update: I resubmitted, and for some reason they excepted it this time. Go figure.
