Bryan and I collaborated on a mix of epic proportions. It conjures images of the creation of the universe, deep space, and a funky, not so distant future. But also, the past?

My Very First Micromix

Inspired by the prolific musician/diligent blogger Bradford Cox (Deerhunter, Atlas Sound), I am going to put up a mix made yesterday. This practice is nothing new on the internet, but the way Cox and his friends format their mixes (one continuous track, loosely themed) got me excited.

Here’s mine. It is best listened to while sleepy.

The Softest Voice

p.s. Hit “keep reading” to see the track listing. I feel like looking at it first is kindof a spoiler, but thats just me.

The Breeders

are exactly what I want to hear sometimes, but usually I don’t know it.

Aquadub, Aquafun

Aquarellas

Dub Music

Aquadub!

Crazy Bird

I recorded an electric version of a song I wrote last summer called “Baby Bird”. It came out pretty good!

Unfamiliar things used: a nylon string guitar, Eric’s broken Jazz Chorus amp, kinda broken sm58 ripoff mic, my double tracked voice .

Here’s the new version

Here’s the old version

Long live the Roland Jazz Chorus! These guys get it.
