Comments Off on Boreds of Canada: Brad Sucks
Here’s my remix of Brad Turcotte‘s (a.k.a. Brad Sucks) “Feel Free! Plastic Surgery!” from his 2012 album “Guess Who’s a Mess“. Brad’s track is awesome but it doesn’t match my musical sensibilities (abilities?) so you’ll find that it’s a bit of a departure from the original.
This tune is the first of what I hope will become a collection or album of some kind. The idea for the Boreds of Canada name can be heard near the end of my version of the song and, besides Brad, the ditty was loosely inspired by Doxent Zsimond’s “acoustic” rendition (quotes and their contents mine). Rest assured that as soon as I discover other Canadians worthy of my deft acoustic touch I’ll be adding them to the Boreds repertoire.

Comments Off on /sectionb: the sountrack
As I continue the struggle over the last few sentences of /sectionb (the struggle is real!) I thought I’d at least provide you with an interlude of the kind of music, other than my own, that has thus far fueled my writing. I consider this list incomplete and unordered but hopefully, in one context or another, it’ll all make sense.

Comments Off on First try
If you’ve watched, and listened to, the /sectionb shorts then you’ll probably recognize the musical motif but if not then maybe you’ll be experiencing it for the first time, in which case that’s maybe for the best.
This tune also happens to rather happily coincide with the 25th anniversary, more or less, of Lola rennt. If it sounds like the film may have been an inspiration for the track, that’s just pure speculation. Great movie though.

Comments Off on Chopin’ Twenty
I know, my AFK time has been excessive as of late but as usual it doesn’t mean that I’ve been idle. I had some new adventures, got busy with some undercover work (more on that later), and stuck my fingers into far too many pies.
Take the thing above, for example. Figured I’d try something different but new directions always come with a price. Don’t even get me started about inflation!
Anyway, this tune is supposed to be Chopin’s Nocturne No.20 in C Sharp Minor … or at least what’s left of it.
