I Have My Own Demons

lurking beneath the circuits are gremlins; twisting knobs, pushing buttons and controlling the levels. it may look like i’m the conductor, but I have my own demons.

beats 'n' pieces, odd pop, original soundtracks, rock 'n' roll, weird

Whither Canada?

for the 100th mix on my site i decided to try something completely different. as a life long Monty Python fan i have always been enthralled by how they segue from one obtuse sketch to the next. here i try to emulate that by using great music, weird spoken word segments and a healthy dose of silly bits. watch The Luv Of Music to witness the creation of this mix.

Kosmische Musik

krautrock combines post-psychedelic jamming and moody progressive rock with ideas from experimental modern classical music and the new directions that emerged in jazz during the 1960s and 70s. it’s what happens when you give post-World War II German kids guitars, drums and synthesizers.
