Hey guys! In a month or so as we mentioned not long ago, Mixposure will be doing a change over to the way the site handles videos and music. <br /><br />What we will be adding is a conversion server. What this means is that all videos, regardless of format will convert to flash. This is the same as YouTube. So you will be able to upload avi, mwv, mpeg etc. and we will automatically convert it to flash format behnd the scenes. This allows us to switch to one video player for Mixposure. It is a lot easier for us to manange not to mention flash is a smaller format.<br /><br />As for MP3's it would be like soundclick. Upload wav or 320k mp3's and the files will convert to 192k mp3's.<br /><br />In the mean time, I thought I would throw up some randow videos!<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Dazed
Okay its Novemeber and thiis month i have put wavephonic in the spotlight. Here is a brief from the man himself ED:<br />Hanging out in the Hamilton music scene here in Canada back in the 70's and 80's was a great experience. You couldn't help but get swept up in the great music that was being produced in this city back then. During that time I was playing guitars and drums with friends and just starting to write my own tracks. Once the 90's hit I became interested in synthesizers and sound design, that changed my scope completely and led to a more experimental outlook on what I was writing. Currently with my own home studio I've found that with a mix of traditional instruments and todays computer technology the sky is the limit when producing original material. I label my stuff experimental because I'm never sure of what the end result is going to be, as a fan of many different genres, the music becomes a melting pot of ideas and short stories. Actually I put Alternative because it was close to the top....lol I'm really excited about producing music in todays environment, its the spice in my life and keeps me motivated to try new things. Most of what I do is a solo effort, but now the internet has connected me with some great musicians all over the world and its cool that some have givin me the opportunity to work with them. I'm having the time of my life making music and I hope theres something here that you find interesting. ...appreciate your support..

Number 1 today :My Song Orion with 6 plays : well as i listen to this track I get a distinct retro feel coming through .The piano has a sequence feel to it as if its been quantised to dance with the pure retro drums....that hi hat is so drum machine ! in a good sense I must add.<br /><br />Number 2 today : AVoid me :Emphyrio : hell yeah theres a touch of trance happening here and what a great filter squelch you've given us ! Sonic treats from Emphyrio. catch this you'll enjoy it .<br /><br />Number 3 today : I Love You Baby .Linda Now this is a new artist for me I must admit I have not heard from Linda before. Great effected vocals hit 1st and the feeling of pop also comes to the fore.Then the main real vocal comes in. Sounds like those effects could be reason based ...I liked this track a lot as its so damned honest : it doesn't pretend to be anything other than what it is a great little pop song.Nice one Linda.<br /><br />Sly

<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">DrC - Songwriting, all those fabulous keys, drums programing, and arrangement.<br />Gary Carciello - Terrific electric guitar harmonics and solo.<br />Rob Grant - Excellent Bass guitar and not "A" typical for a ballad.<br />Farrell Jackson - Song lyric and melody, acoustic guitar, and all vocals.<br /><br />This is something different from us. It may be a mellow ballad but still very much rock and it harbors some fine musical performances. <br /><br />When DrC first presented this song idea and chord structure to me, it was beautiful and I fell in love with the sound, so I jumped at the opportunity to be involved! <br />I always find collaborations with GCDC&J interesting by the way they build and how the final version always surprises. DrC is the man! He makes it transition from the idea stage into a full blown song. <br /><br />The lyric is about how.....as life progresses and becomes more complicated, the innocence of things like first loves, new experiences, and the little pleasures of life tend to be lost, diminished, or over shadowed by all the bad in the world today. And, it becomes more and more difficult to identify the small things that keep us sane as human beings with the media constantly exploiting the ugly. Thus the feeling of.......Gone Is Innocence.<br /><br />As always, it's a pleasure working with these fine, creative musicians, who are at the top of their game and I'm honored to be included in their collabs!<br /><br />BTW, if anyone is wondering what that beautiful and haunting flute sound in the beginning is.....it's a Japanese flute type instrument called a Shakuhachi. I only know because DrC informed me. When he first suggested it, I thought he was talking about a sushi dish, lol! <br /><br />I hope you enjoy the song! <br /><br />Farrell Jackson</span></p>
hi everyone hows it going ,,im sorry about the total lack of participation over the last few weeks ,,a few things have happened firstly and most importantly the band im in ,well myself and a wonderful female artist named monnie are about to release our first album together ,which im buzzing about ..secondly i had a major pc failure which resulted in total re-install ,,luckily i managed to save all my tunes and important stuff ..so ive spent the time re-building all my music software and synths ..but im glad to say im finally back to how i was b4 the big crash ,but this time in a more stable state ..so i will be releasing some new tunes ,,and i might upload some off the new album to give you a taster of the style we have adopted ...:)
The song has got to "draw" an ending..what i was trying to say<br />ils , the song won't register in peoples minds if you don't have a good ending ..a kiss off..Almend brothers are good at ending there songs. A real long acumulation..for lack of a better word.<br />My bet i;s... that if you learn to end your songs tastfully you will learn to make your songs better.
