Now Creating: Odd Soul Remix Contest

Posted in recording on August 8th, 2011 by jaymathes – Be the first to comment

One of our favorite bands, Mute Math, announced a remix contest a couple of weeks ago for one of the songs from their new album, Odd Soul. The City is now working on a remix to submit to them. We hope to post it here, on our website, for you all to hear, too. Yes, we know their label, Teleprompt, may frown on us posting it here, but the final remix will be as much our creation as it is their property. If they ask us to, we’d be happy to remove the file. So check back here around mid-August to listen to our remix. In the meantime, check out our friends, Mute Math, here: mutemath.com.

Music Video for ___ Coming Soon ???

Posted in forward motion, videos on July 17th, 2011 by jaymathes – Be the first to comment

Gary and I are talking. Perhaps too much. We’d like to do a music video for one of the songs on FFF. We’re talking concepts, logistics, and timetable. To inspire us, I pulled out a few reels for my old 8mm projector.

We’ll let you know when we know more.
