The Guide

I was just listening to the album "Situation" by Buck 65 and I was pleasantly surprised. The last few times I've heard his music I was slightly disappointed. Generally I listen to his music and I enjoy his choice of words and the production, then I see him perform and get distracted and off put by the wordiness. Situation was produced by Scratch Bastid and it's got some nice sounds. Totally enjoyed it. SCRATCH BASTID IS AWSOME.!..!..i might ad. I'm thinking I should try my hand at music reviews here. I'll keep you posted.....if there is a you. I'm trying to work on a nice report of a trip I took to Toronto recently. I saw a bunch of great concerts worthy of note and visual documentation. Hopefully I can gather up something to note. I'm slightly discouraged by the whole BLOG thing. I can see some of the benefits of it. But, then you sit down and try to write a little something and it goes nowhere. I suppose it has something to do with Engl...

So, I encourage people to add to these two wikipedia entries. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regina%2C_Saskatchewan#Culture http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_of_Saskatchewan I'm kinda curious about building up a database or collection of all the present and past musicians in Saskatchewan. I think a lot of artists can end up spending may years working on their creative en devours without any recognition. So, I feel like it would be nice to start up a good collection of names and stories.

I think there may be an influx of new shows from myself in the coming months. I had two shows about 2 weeks ago and I've gotten to putting one of them up on the net and I'll be nice and try to space out the other one so you guys out there in the "net" can think about what you listened to and then maybe try to match it up with the other show. You listen and download the show and I would love to hear any feed back. I have my other shows up on my " guidewire " show page. I'm kinda trying to figure out what I should be using the page for. At this point I was planning on putting up mostly my performances, but I've thought up putting up some remixes and such that maybe couldn't be sold but would still be fun to hear. I'm also still into the idea of "selling" music of mine, but don't really seem to want to "buy" it. Also, I would love if people felt it in their hearts to donate/tip/fund to my musicalness, but I'm a...

So, I was asked to give a presentation in a CS class at the U of R on Friday the 1st. My presentation can be found below. I was trying my hand at Google Presentation just to see what it was like. The presentation may need some explanation past this. I will probably be holding onto it and tweaking it over time. I'll be giving a workshop on Ableton live coming up in June I believe. I probably should go double check that.

So, I'm having a little Daftpunk fever. I picked up the Alive 2007 Daftpunk concert album just a few days ago and I'm been listening to it while driving around and it's a pretty decent listen. Then I remembered to myself that Daftpunk put out a strange obscure little experimental film just awhile ago called Electroma. You can watch the whole film here: electroma on google video Now before you play the clip below you should watch the whole movie first. I suppose you don't have to, but it may add to the enjoyment. Apparently, from what it looks like, the whole film was edited to their last album, but then replaced with the experimental, cinematic soundtrack that went along with the theater release. I'm sure this has probably come up in a few places on the net, but this was the first one on me so I thought I would share with yall. and to finish this all off, here is a review of the film with a little added discussion about see the film in a theater vs the youtube...

At work over the past little while I've apart of a little puppet show. Here is one video It's been pretty fun putting these shows together and it's kinda left just our regular old discussion on the tenthdimension.com site. You can check out our other videos here Also, in other news. I've been putting up concert/laptop shows. You can find them on my website here .

So, I've been using google reader for a number of months now and I'm starting to feel like there is to much info for me to look through. I have this feeling like I should look through it all, but I don't have the interest or time. Maybe the next step for google is to synthesize all the content from google reader and give you the "jist". Besides that, I've been "building" music off and on for the past little while and I probably have more to show in the next little while. I've been trying to "push" a show that I did. If you go here you can download my show. It was from a show I did at Regina's Cultural Exchange.
