We Are The Future (and a few things went wrong…)

This experimental piece started out with my desire to get back into using the mic. Most of the vocals are me with some heavy digital filters. At the beginning and end, I also use some electronically generated voices from FL Studio and Alter Ego. https://soundcloud.com/earthpages/we-are-the-future I don't expect a lot of people to like this!...

Reelin’ in the Years – 1995

1995 was a wonderful year for music. So many classic albums and even the singles charts are looking more promising. I'm 33 years old and buying more pop than I have for decades. And I am feeling a bit of a rebirth - finding my groove again - after going deep into Gregorian chants and...

Preview of the JUNOS!

Probably the only national award ceremony where the biggest winning stars don't bother to show up. Video shout outs, or whatever they are, only add to the thin, flimflam vibe. Background vector created by Iconicbestiary - Freepik.com  

Warning… Hot Coffee!

Last night I was out in the countryside and pulled into one of my fav. donut shops to grab a coffee. The young lady was sweet and polite but, little did I know, handed me a scorcher of a cup of coffee. So off I went into the car, into the night, on to my...

App Attack!

I was walking down the street yesterday. A beautiful summer day. Bilious clouds and sun. More like August than July. The teens by the local school were all staring into their smartphones. Me, I'd just spent a half hour sitting on the grass behind the library, marveling at nature's wildflowers and berries. So the kids,...

Midnight Oil – Don’t Wanna Be The One

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMrcJV3eEAQ Somehow this tune eluded me. I was 19 in 1981, and I always look back on that year as a turning point. I remember the music industry was in a bit of a spin. Supertramp did some lackluster album around that time. A once great group had pretty much lost its spark. Crosby, Stills...

I dream of wires

It’s been a while…

Sigh. I've been unusually busy over the past few days so haven't updated here. But I haven't been totally off the web. Nope. Along with some earthpages updates I did a volunteer question at allexperts.com, a really interesting one. But unfortunately the questioner wanted it to be private. And I have to respect that. I've...
