working on new blue chain language every day…soon
Still make art sometimes…#watercolor #marker #chinamarker #tracingpaper #LED #translucent #layers (Taken with Instagram)
I entered another remix contest on Indaba Music, this time for Bon Iver’s “Perth.” The winning remix for each track from Bon Iver’s self-titled record will be given $1,000 and will be included on the Bon Iver Remix album that will be put out on Spotify. Please check out the track here, again. And if you like it you can vote for it (once only) anytime between August 30th and September 13th.
I made the honorable mentions list…didn’t get one of their official prizes but an extremely short snippet of my remix was featured on the newest Radiolab episode which is pretty amazing anyway. Listen to that episode here.
Please vote for my remix of a Radiolab episode, and if you want to, share it on your Facebook or Twitter, I truly appreciate it
- once again...
So, once again, about a year after release an album worth of material I have hit a bit of writer’s block while working on new Blue Chain Language material. It’s quite frustrating. So, also once again, I am going to take a short artistic detour into uncharted territory. I’ve done side projects consisting of straight forward folk-tunes , hockey intermission songs , minimal/ambient dream music (deleted that page), gigantic multi-movement orchestra cycles (never uploaded), some hip-hop for friends, and some commercial shorts …and we’re going to keep experimenting starting now.
Now, the project is called Pavideaux, and simply put it’s Progressive House music. Now wait, don’t get upset. I don’t really enjoy this genre of music all that much to be honest with you, but my girlfriend does and I have grown ONLY SLIGHTLY curious as to how these producers of these song write. To me, %90 of house music sounds the same so my goal is to do it my way, have a little edge, but still fall into the genre. I’m experimenting with completely new techniques in Reason that will hopefully propel all of my Blue Chain Language work forward in quality and variety. So, here goes…I’ll only post links through the news section right now…I am working on a way to get all of these old projects up on the website as well but for right now it’s just gonna be it’s only soundcloud page…And that page is right HERE
in other news, i just deleted the Blue Chain Language myspace account which was going strong for about 8 years…remember myspace?
- Updates
So, I realize it’s been a while since I’ve updated the site…mainly because I almost never take a day off from work and also because I am half-lazy. So, as far as writing goes I am working every chance I get on new Blue Chain Language material for a possible EP-type release sometime in the summer, if all goes well. There are a few songs in the bag already and a few old ideas that are getting a resharpening/retooling/re-whatevering.
However, there are also some ideas that will never be redeemed and some know what that means…new Klee-Sides release. I figure I will aim to release a Klee-Sides album through the bandcamp page (link above) on the 1-year anniversary of the release of All Impluses, which, if my memory serves me correctly is February 18th. So, mark your calendars.
- More "Shorts" up
you can stream more Shorts in the “Other Sounds” section of the website via SoundCloud
My brother Collin is a pretty damned talented Graphic Designer and he took time to create a whole series of sales materials for the latest Blue Chain Language release All Impulses. Also, if I ever pressed a 12” of anything off of this album he created some artwork for what that would look like…
working on a bunch of shorts for licensing purposes lately…
Most of them this time around are leaning towards more classical sounds and less electronic stuff, just for a change of pace.
some possible ringtones on the way too, depending on how many ideas I end up getting written and recorded.
check back for more updates, I’ll post them on the soundcloud section of the site as soon as I have them registered. Thanks!
popped a couple things up that I have been working on as far as commercial music goes, give them a listen
- domain names
Thinking about domain names, do I get creative or keep ‘er simple?
I. Just. Don’t. Know.
what do you think?

Albums
- 8 tracks
BuyIt took three long years but I finally finished the seventh official Blue Chain Language release. The 9th track, "Goldenrod" is available only with a full-album download. - 15 tracks
BuyThis is a compilation of B-sides, unfinished recordings, abandoned ideas, remixes and old-mixes from the last several years all for your listening enjoyment - 3 tracks
BuyThis is the first single from "All Impulses," due out in the Fall. Features the album version of Weekend Violence as well as a remix version and a b-side from the All Impulses Sessions. - 12 tracks
Buy'Pilotless' is the sixth release from Blue Chain Language. I recorded these songs between my senior year (and a half) at college and the first six months or so after finishing school. This is the first album I finished that had no instrumentals on it, which was a big deal for me at that time as everything I put together before this was half instrumental, half sung-over songs. I took a lot more time with the production of this album as well, trying to make it sound as big and as crisp as I possibly could. The songs continue to trend toward a more pop-song format and some more of my R&B, Hip-Hop influences come to the forefront here. I also took about three times as long recording vocals for this album since I have always seen this as the weakest part of my previous albums. So, hopefully you enjoy the result of more time and effort!

Sets
- 38 tracks (35:33)These are pieces that I have written ranging anywhere from :30 to 2:00 in length, in many different styles, for commercial purposes. These files are compressed to avoid unlicensed usage.
- 11 tracks (09:31)The "Hockey Songs" compilation was a deadline-based musical challenge that I gave to myself to get out of a song-writing funk. I decided that I would attempt to write one musical "short" a day over the course of about two weeks and each song would be dedicated to in-game musical interludes played in the stadium of my local struggling AHL hockey team (at the time). All the pieces are meant to be high-energy and loud. These "shorts" combine elements of Dance, Electronic, Hip-Hop and Orchestra and would provide a great backdrop for breaks in play at any sporting event.
