Gelfling!

Recorded at the Lansdowne, spent a week or two massaging the audio and my mate used some of my work with his video footage. Check out Newtown's hotest supergroup:!

New Dangerous Objects track

Nick here,

Over the past few months, I've finished off a few mashup/remixes of all-rights-reserved music for some of the musos I know, like 2 of my favourite bands in the world Valentiine and The Blush Foundation. I've invented Grunge-Techno! Gotta put that stuff up on MySpace sometime for the unwashed masses.

Along the same vein, I've been working on some more Creative Commons stuff, following the same theme of making sometime danceable out of music never intended for that purpose. So here's Rhyme does not pay.




My entry to the Linux Conf AU creative ideas competition was "Get me to DJ at LCA", but I'm not sure if they're going to think that's a good idea ;)

Once more, with feeling

And Firefox by default doesn't support the patented MP3 format, so I'm reposting with a better audio format



Does that mean I'll have to post 2 audio files every update, assuming everyone doesn't use Firefox? Hrm. That will be annoying. More research required.

Testing again

So it appears HTML 5 has an audio tag! Intertubes - how does it work?!?

Mic check, mic check testing

I'm going to try publishing tracks to this blog as I complete them instead of waiting til I have enough for a nice little collection. I've been working on some mixes of commercial tunes for their artists on the side, but have another Creative Commons one nearly done!

In the meantime, here's one from last year - a nice groovy pop/acoustic/hip-hop/whatever mashup. (Should be an embedded player in the RSS feed. If not, try here.

Mic check, mic check, testing testing

Don't need a flash player widget (which doesn't seem to come through to Google Reader)

"Widely regarded as a bad move" is here - the long awaited 2009 release from the Sydney based, mostly-imaginary 4 piece Dangerous Objects. Despite making highly rhythmic and unconventional art, the band is close to having their Punk License revoked for committing Techno. To be safe, their next release is required to contain some loud and fast guitars.

"Widely regarded as a bad move"
contains the first dance tunes since "For your own actions" from mid last year, featuring vocalist, pianist, poet and songwriter Snowflake on the first track and everyone's favourite law professor Lawrence Lessig, from his Colbert Show appearance, on the second. Of course there's some traditional hip-hop/pop/acoustic goodness, but also the first steps towards combining Nick's folk/blues guitar with the Dangerous Objects mashup style.

You can check it our at my page at ccMixter. Dangerous Objects is also on MySpace.
