New Myspace

If you're seeing this, then I should point you in the direction of my new MySpace site. http://myspace.com/jianhicks

It sucks you have to resort to what's become a dating site for kids to get your music heard but until I get the domain up and running this will have to do.

I STILL FUNCTION

Theme From The Iridescent Garden

So yeah, apparently this flash player isn't so anal after all and I'm just a dumbass. -j/eniphach/deadnail saves the day by noticing the number 3 should have been a 6. Hmmmm. Gives me an idea for a song...

...and speaking of GODFLESH...

I'd like to think of this as my first attempt at writing a theme song for a fictional television series with a bit of glitch and mixed up Asian flavor.

"Scifi with some Chinese elements? Didn't Firefly do that already?"
Yes they rutting did.

你他媽的天下所有的人都該死。

Lo-Fi Ambient Surgery

While my intentions were to post all of my tracks here, Comcast's 25 meg limit is preventing me from going much further. In the meantime, I've decided to delete the demos I had on MySpace and post a new track unrelated to the album I am trying to finish. For some one-off ambient/drum-n-bass goodness, try here: "Lo-Fi Ambient Surgery"

New this week: sol_vent (+reprise)

You may have noticed that this version is longer than the one posted on my MySpace. Partly, because there's an actual upload limit over there (and I hate sacrificing quality for length) but mostly because I know this site is the road less traveled for my music. Yeah, this is my main website til I can afford a proper domain.

Notes about this track:
1) opens with a sample that was supposed to be at the end of "Infinity One II" but wanted to keep that track pure. (IO2 is entirely constructed from the word "listen". Even the beat was derived from the voice-over.)

2) The vocal samples were taken from COLOUR TELEVISION: A BBC-2 TRADE TEST COLOUR FILM (originally produced by TV manufacturer Mullard about the construction and technical aspects of assembling color television sets) and originally airing on December 4th, 1967.
