broken


fading now
holding out
the innocent way
lucks run out
left this hole inside of me
crying out
screaming down
cause it echos within
the cat is out
no more secrets left to keep
the feeling is gone
we’ve swallowed the sun
one by one
the moment has come
the feeling is gone
we’ve swallowed the sun
and waved good-bye to us again
staring down
tears run down
and land at your feet
broken clouds
a canvas torn for all to see

rane empath

so i decided to buy the mixer i have been renting for the last 5 months. it feels good because i applied my rental payments to buying it. it’s a solid piece of machinery with interchangable parts. it’s relatively simple, has no effects, but it really sounds great and fundamentally is superior to most mixers. it’s been about 6 years with that Radio Shack special so this really is a quality piece. i need a second video card for my extra monitor that craig graciously donated (minus $20) to the AFK cause.

speaking of which..

my collaboration with charles is awesome, but we need to revisit the track since it’s been weeks since we worked on it. it’d be nice to finish it and get it out the door and then work on a new collaboration that we talked about today. it involves one other person — a 3 person production team. i think if we’re smart about planning it and divvy up the work properly it could be really be super awesome.

i ran the pacific front concept past jordan today and he loves it. that’s good because we love it too. he gave me some more ideas for logos, something which myself, braeden and justin have been batting around for the last few days.

pictures from resonance: year one are now online and appear to be pretty popular since i posted them yesterday. over 500 views of the gallery in under 24 hours. rad.

i am doing more work on prominence, a track that anand originally wrote the melody and droning synth for a year and a half ago. i’ve done a bassline, percussion, and other bits. it needs some more transitions and elements but it’s a solid framework for now. chrissie is contemplating doing vocals for it. we’re not sure if it’s the right track for vocals but we’ll see!

i am giving dreamcache some polishing touches and i am really happy with what i have done to it. there is serious stereo field action now. yes!

i haven’t heard anything back from anyone other than chris fortier on magnetic. i am seriously giving thought to taking it off the market and putting it up as part of Pacific Front’s release schedule. the coming weeks will be determine its path.

that’s all for now

there was this song that came out last year by Sasha and JunkieXL called Breezer. every time i hear it i wonder how they came up with something so full of a variety of subtleties that all work so well together as a whole.
it’s just so nice!
charles lent me both of junkie’s first two CD’s which I hope to have a listen to later tonight, maybe while playing bomberman if i am to be so lucky. i’ve also committed to posting more pictures from the weekend and also a year of resonance DJ’s on the resonance website. gallery is installed, and resonance is a year old now. wow that went quickly and smoothly. from a semi-interesting afternoon show to a bangin’ friday @ midnight – 3 AM show. support for the show is growing as awareness spreads.. we need to make some posters for the deal, though we may be moving timeslots again (what could be better than friday at midnight – 3? friday at 10:30 – 1:30!). we’ll see. the 101.9 FM AGM is this thursday so that means free pizza and pop. plus we’ll vote on some things as well.
last night i checked out ambi, a new chill evening at scoupa da soupa (government and johnson) that is being put on by yoseff, charles, and geoff. it was cool. neat space, good beverages, great music, lots of room. they’re just starting it up .. officially it starts two weeks from now so i’ll be looking forward to the next one. last night i brought some volunteer work with me and i got through a bunch of the drc stuff that i needed to, the rest i will do tonight and i’ll finish off the status report. i’m doing some project management for them since their last web person apparently fell off the face of the planet and the project has unknown status. i do not believe it is telling of the organization.
monday this week is pretty straight forward thanks to some extra effort i put in last week. lots of work to do still though, so i will be getting back to it now!

gypsy moth spraying

friday morning and saturday morning we had a little plane flying around spraying gordon head for the gypsy moth. pretty annoying to have a plane flying 100 feet above your house at 5:30 AM. thank you, assholes.
well, what is wrong with gypsy moths, why are we spraying them, what are we spraying them with, and what does that stuff do? these are the questions that most often come up, but the news fails to convey the message. here are the answers:

harland – rivers

i walk the lines
move to the wind in time
the morning light shines on the dark place
written on their faces
we live in fear
“we’re treading lightly on this broken ground”
we live in fear
“we’re heading slowly into the rivers mouth”
I can feel love turn to hate
I can see hearts fade away
fade away
i’m looking for a view
to refuse the burning signs around us
where i will follow you follow me
and maybe it will lead us to something more
we live in fear
“we’re treading lightly on this broken ground”
we live in fear
“we’re heading slowly into the rivers mouth”
i can feel love turn to hate
i can see hearts fade away
fade away…
