I am so incredibly glad to be making videos again.  It has literally been years.

So this one is for an instrumental remix I did for a song by The Mattoid.  If you don’t know the Mattoid, you are doing yourself an immense disservice and should check out his Myspace page as soon as you watch this video.  Also, if you’d like to check out the original, be my guest.  It’s on his Eternifinity EP.

The structure may also be familiar to some from my days with Flashmob, as we used this beat for the song, Dirtnap.

Anyway.  The dog and cat are mine.  The dog being Remy…the cat being Quinn.  More videos to come, I do hope.

Lastly, if you’d like to download this for free in MP3 form, here you go:

So a while back, Aaron and I collaborated on a few tracks and called it memetics (Aaron’s name idea…and a good one).  I really should mix those down and get them out into cyberspace.  But for now, you have this.

This is all recorded live, which is the opposite approach we took on those tracks you have not heard.  Those we tracked out.  This live session was much easier to deal with.

Aaron sang on most of the tracks.  I presume it to be improvisational, but in any case, some of the song titles were just plain obvious.  My dog, Remy, sang on “Santa Daemon.”

I sang on “Afraid of the Ghost.”  It’s a complete departure from the way it’s been performed in the sessions with Pocket Strength (that’s our band name, right?).  This one is very true to the “memetics sound.”  I’m particularly fond of its minimalism.

I’m not sure what else to say about the rest of the tracks.  They’re pretty droney at times.  It definitely throws back to earlier days of being in Obadiah with Aaron.  I really like the piano / guitar interplay at the end of “Gentle Waves.”  If you don’t care anything else about this artsy fartsy bullshit, then at least lay back into that for a minute.
