Congrats to Brian and Terry for having the Mixposure.com Song of the Week! This is a great tune so have a listen!!
Bio:
Initially classically trained, experiencing blues and rock & roll in the early 1960's was, for Brian, equivalent to Saint Paul on the road to Damascus. He cut his teeth in the London club scene during those halcyon years of the mid to late 1960's - as an audience member in venues such as Les Cousins, on Greek Street in Soho, listening to and learning from legendary musicians such as Al Stewart, Davey Graham, Wizz Jones, Bert Jansch, John Renbourn and John Martyn.
Moving to New York in 1968, he studied painting, drawing and photography and entered the musical world of clubs, festivals, concert halls and the ubiquitous college circuit. During this period, in addition to a partnership in a successful live music club in Greenwich Village, he toured in every State of the Union except Hawaii, spending time also in Canada and Mexico. In addition to playing on the folk circuit in venues such as Gerde's Folk City, Cafe Wha'? and The Gaslight, he was also in one of the first bands to regularly perform in Hilly Cristal's CBGB's, on The Bowery, sharing the stage with Blondie, Talking Heads, The Ramones and Television whilst recording on the Adelphi label.
Returning to Europe in 1979, Brian toured internationally, recording on the Highway and Topic labels. During this time, he lived firstly in Copenhagen, then in Amsterdam, followed by Paris and London. It was, to quote Hemingway, 'A Moveable Feast'.
In the mid 1990's he relocated, with his family, to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where he worked with some excellent musicians and technicians, along the way assisting Sir George Martin on his film "Rhythms of Life".
So far, as a solo artist, Brian has completed a five-track EP entitled "Paint the Town", followed by a full twelve-track album entitled "Everything Takes Forever". Before leaving Brazil he recorded three tracks for an EP entitled "Hold On To The Night".
He has also recently completed an LP entitled "Time & Tide', alongside other music referencing his influences entitled 'Roots & Branches'.
These days, Brian mostly divides his time between music, painting and photography.
Recently, Brian received a Masters degree in painting and hopes, one day, to get to Hawaii...

Bio:
Music fan all my life, I've been earning a living as a dj since 1979, worked 14 years in Radio with top Montreal radio station CKOI, was music director for the Quebec equivalent of MTV called MusiquePlus, worked to build the French Canadian service of XM satellite radio here in Canada, been a consultant for different music project, was product manager for a large indie music distributor Distribution SELECT, worked with Beggars Group while, was a DJ for pro sports team in Montréal (Expos-baseball and Alouettes-Footbal) for over 20 seasons and now I'm music and editorial director for ZIK.ca a Canadian streaming site like Sporify, making music is a hobby for me. I don't consider myself a musician more of a composer arranger, I use other people talents (friends and loops and samples) to create my compositions and always look for talent to help me complete my tracks because I feel they are works in progress.
If you have not done one before, here is how it works. Create your spookiest or funniest Halloween Song you can. You have plenty of time to get it done and also enough time to find other artists to work with if you want to collaborate. Vocals are not required so do not feel like you have to have them in.
Obviously the due date will be Oct 31st but if at all possible, let's try and get them in by October 25th. This will give our DJ's plenty of time to get them added into their shows. When you upload them, please use a genre of "Halloween 2014" so we can find them easy. I will see if I can get some added from prior years so you can have a listen and get some ideas.
Please post if you have any questions!!

Congrats to Harry V for having the Mixposure.com Song of the Week!! Check out this tune!!
Born 1950 in the Netherlands,
living in Maastricht,
songs in english, dutch, french and german I write music from Europe about Children&War, Love&Life, Life&Death, Joy&Sorrow, about the Love For All People.
Wrote most of my songs for my sweet Annet who departed in 2004, not realizing many all over the world would relate to these diddies Wink
Thank God they do.
In 2009 I joined reverbnation which is still my main platform in combination with facebook.
Reverb is all about yours truly, my facebook music page is about the friends I meet, daily new encounters, all of them excellent artists whom I gladly give some exposure on my FB page.
Here too I just found a way to give exposure to what I hear on MIXPOSURE,
look in my Playlist, Holdin Dixie Close is my music, other playlists are for songs I rate
☆☆☆☆☆
with Love ♥♫
I just wanted to let everyone know that we added a small icon on the New Song Page with a small pen on it. When clicked it will bring up a window to add song reviews. This is much easier I think. I will be adding these to all of the chart pages soon also. I may need to tweak the popup size a bit since it auto resizes and I think it is a bit large on some computers. Your mileage may vary 
.
Thanks,
Todd

I was reading about this guitar on PremierGuitar.com and I thought I would share. For some reason I kind of like this. Thr price was not bad either at $1199.
Scottsdale, AZ (August 5, 2014) -- EVH is proud to announce the release of one of the most requested guitars Eddie Van Halen has played over the years, the EVH Stripe Series “Circles” guitar made famous by Van Halen’s 1981 “Unchained” music video.
With an otherworldly black-and-white “circles” graphic gloss finish, the EVH Circles model is without question one of the most distinctively eye-catching guitars in the Stripe Series lineup. There’s nothing alien about the rest of this high performance tone machine, though, with its sleek Strat-like basswood body, rock-solid quartersawn maple neck with oiled finish, fast and smooth compound-radius maple fingerboard (12”-16”) with comfortably rolled edges and 22 jumbo frets, a single ferocious EVH direct-mount pickup with single black plastic control knob (master volume), EVH Floyd Rose with D-Tuna bridge and locking nut, and EVH tuners.

Team - I wanted to share this with everyone. Rob has been with Mixposure for several years and has not only been a friend but I also consider his music to be some of the best Indie Music I have heard. You can find his music here on Mixposure under Visual Cliff and Trinity Music.
The music above has some samples in multiple genres for you to do a comparison on. Trust me, his music sounds amazing. If you are looking for some mastering, I would look no further.
Todd
Owner Mixposure.com
Over the last 10-15 years I have developed a proprietary process that achieves the same quality results as the major mastering houses but at Indie friendly rates. As an independent artist myself, I chose to rebel against the staggering costs of high priced mastering and that's why I started INDIE AUDIO MASTERING.
I will treat your music as if it were my own. I never over-book myself and each daily session is spent on only one client.
Due to the nature of my proprietary set up no studio pics are provided but my gear includes in and out of the box tools that include outboard pro converters (Lavry/RME) and clocking, analog compression (Shadow Hills), proprietary harmonic balancing and EQ'ing tools (Manley) along with high end software as well as a three stage playback ref system [Critical > Commercial > Consumer] providing you with a great sounding master. My main reference monitors are hand made, point to point that exceed what most mastering studios use. Best advice I can give > "Pick your mastering engineer with your ears and not your eyes".
My mastering has been A/B'd against some of the best Nashville and New York heavy weights in the biz and more
often than not selected as the better master or at a minimum just as good. These are the $150 to $200 per song or $1,000
to $1,200 per album mastering houses that cater to major label artists and that's fine, but I pride myself in bringing this same level of quality to independent artists because I am one myself.
My best piece of gear though are my ears! You can have all the gear in the world but without a good pair of ears and knowledge of how to correctly apply selective compression, root bass note elimination, frequency analysis, 2nd & 3rd order harmonic manipulation, stereo field treatment or finding those frequencies for an instrument within a final mix for enhancement or attenuation...all you're really getting is someone that will take what you've done and simply make it louder without really understanding what they're doing. Stay away from $15-$20 per song mastering...that's not mastering. That's a preset.
Let me show you what I can do. You won't be sorry!
