If I Do Myself In…

Play this at my funeral… Somehow, every time I’m drunk or silly… this song appears in my head.

Can’t explain it…

And then if you think you get it, follow it up with this one…

Then try to figure out why the hell you are looking at this blog in the first place.

(Thank you Liz for the introduction to the second track here)….

Check out this animated gif from a German website. It shows how people purchased music throughout the years. No play button for the image, it does its’ own magic.

** We still don’t make money off of this crap. We do it for pleasure! The best compensation would be a comment or review right here on this blog again. Hozpitality thanks YOU (and your Wet Slappy Thing)!

Hozpitality Preview? PIANO BUBBLES!

Found a new VST (virtual synthesizer template) called “KRUUD” (I am hoping it is not pronounced like “crud”) that had a really nifty arpeggiator where you can discreetly control the keys after the initial note.  Hard to explain but cool to hear.

I added on some reverb and delay thanks to the LiquidVerb VST, and I recorded it in Audition (no overdubs, thats why it is more pleasant noise than music) and added a nifty stereo panner/swapper effect before mix-down.

Is this totally neato or what?

Hozpitality UPDATE! – Tentative Song Collection Leaked…

Yup, we’re leaking information on the Hozpitality release like an old lady with bladder problems. This will be Hozpitality’s LARGEST RELEASE YET. A DOUBLE STUDIO ALBUM with bits of audio culled from the past 3 years that fell on the digital floor.

Here is the completed track list so far with durations. The plan is to add more material. Titles are TOTALLY subject to change by official release time (and they will more than likely be changed). We still haven’t agreed on an album title but here’s what we have so far:
