New Music That Will Never Get A Grammy
because it’s too damn good! Can’t stop playing this… Enjoy 10 minutes of incredible music. Crank it up! Hurry before youtube takes it down. (From Steven Wilson’s new album Hand Cannot Erase. It’ll be out in the US in a few days!)
then follow it with this one and be completely FLOORED. I teared up and got goosebumps… Man I love good music. NO GRAMMY FOR THIS GUY FOR SURE!
Should I Enable Polls On CtrlZStudio Again?!
The Coolest Thing You Can Do With A Steinway Concert Grand Piano

I thought this sounded and looked incredible.
Aquaman? A Bad Ass??!
Great Movie Alert! Florida Man!
Was introduced to this from The Mike O’meara Show.
Documentary about street life in Florida. Worth the hour watch!
Hall of The Titan Mountain Thing
I was playing my stupid Jackpot Party Casino game on my phone. I was winning big. When you win big in a slot machine, the music plays a repetitive arpeggio or loop while it totals (or dramatically counts up) your winnings. For some reason when I won on this slot machine, the “count your money up” loop got stuck on my phone.
Before the app crashed, I plugged my phone into the Korg Kaoss Pad (aka the red box) and tortured the loop with effects.
Put this in your headphones and check it out! Play it loud! Try to identify all the different effects going on. Half the time, its not even altering an audio source. The red box snatches up a sample and lets you torture it in mid-air. It’s TOO POWERFUL!!! 🙂
REVIEW OF GRAMMY AWARDS 2015
Larry King Does the Temple of Doom: KAL EE MAAAAAHHHH!
Knob Twiddler of The Year: Daniel Lanois
For those who don’t know who Daniel Lanois is, let’s just say he produced and made U2 famous, worked a ton with Brian Eno, produced stuff for Bob Dylan, and host of other artists that really have nothing in common with each other. This guy goes on CeMeGo’s top 10 music producers list (up there with people such as Brian Eno, Trevor Horn, Todd Rundgren, etc). With his latest album, he decided to play the studio like an instrument. Obviously this needs a very good rhythm section, which he definitely has here. The sounds he is generating are pre recorded and some are sampled in the moment (from the drum or the bass) and then everything is oscillated manipulated and extrapolated. 🙂 This, of course, is right up my alley.
As always, crank it!
