here's a little diddy i've been working on...an acapella rendition of the aphex twin song "4", from the Richard D James album. i'm thinking about doing a lot more acapella versions of crazy electronic tunes, so keep an eye out.
you can download the mp3 by clicking the little downwards arrow on the player. enjoy.
oh man last saturday was a night. a niiiiiiiiiight! me and my dudes, aka fatty acid, played alongside TOKiMONSTA, BREAK SCIENCE, and KNXWLEDGE (tunes on the right) @ the glasslands in brooklyn. and although the sound system was ghetto, and the quarters were tight, the vibe was amongst the best i've experienced in a long time.
TOKiMONSTA sound was so intense. Like all the glasses shattered every time a kick drum hit. so good to see a female making a name for herself in the scene. (i can only really think of one other that's doin it, out of like 1,000) BREAK SCIENCE brought the ILL dubstep and KNXWLEDGE slayed with his lo-fi illadelph beats. we got some video and a lot of audio from the show, and i'll be throwing that up here as soon as i can.
(break science going in and out of "lightworks")
so...if you missed it, well there's a chance to be redeemed. fatty acid is heading back to glasslands on february 11th, when we'll be rocking the stage with ELIJAH B TORN (8bit lucid-core glitch pop) and the improvisational electro-pop sensation HANS BLIX. we're gunna be putting together some fresh covers and maybe even add another original tune into the mix.
in other, somewhat more embarrassing, news: you can now follow us on twitter @fattyacidmusic. see you there
Yesterday, Brooklyn indie-rockers and guava eaters "Akudama" released 2 tracks for free as part of their monthly Free-EP campaign. In the coming months, the band plans to release a couple songs each month for free, then when the month has passed, put them up on to iTunes. This month, an intensely dance-able tune, "Arctic Jog" along with a Fatty Acid remix of the tune.
You can download them both for free by clicking HERE. Grab em now while they're still free.
Hello all. Here's a new track I put together last night. The player will load below in a few seconds. Hope you enjoy. For more head over to fattyacid.imeem.com
well, it's been quite some time since a post. So to prove that I have been doing some musical things with my life, i give to you two videos i recently worked on. The music is all original and the video was sampled from various silent films i found on archive.org. The first is called "Ether" and the second is "Atomic Interlude". You can listen to my other tracks @ fattyacid.imeem.com. Enjoy!
This is a video of the New York City Metro when it was above ground, up at 104th street. One of Edison's early films. Because it was originally a silent film, the audio has been superimposed. It is an original track of mine called "you are now About to Begin". It should be noted that I wrote the song before even seeing the film and made little effort to sync the two. What we see is a natural rhythm inherent in the movie, that shows itself at particular musical junctures in the song. I find this happens often when I am soundtracking video. It is a testament to the rhythm that is all around us in the natural world.
The Blogular Synthesis overture: Salad Fingers. This is a cartoon by David Firth that me and some classmates redid the audio to. We stripped out the original soundtrack and dialogue and embedded our own. Enjoy!
