Comp 38 Outtakes Posted by Richard Paul on August 30th, 2009 @ 3:15 pm
Sadly, many songs were eliminated in the Comp 38 creation (ongoing but nearly complete) process. To serve as a teaser and to give the songs their deserving time in the limelight, here are the four that were toughest to cut.
Tracklist:
Falty DL – Paradise Lost
Sabastien Lind – Stay (Janus Dyg remix)
Charles Spearin – Vanessa
Marina & The Diamonds – I Am Not A Robot (Penguin Prison remix)
This song probably would have made it on the last Comp if it wasn’t so long. Fortunately for it though, it’s getting its own special post. Switch is an electronic artist from the UK and is currently touring through a handful of select cities in North America. Below is the Eric Prydz remix of Switch’s “A Bit Patchy.”
Here’s a nice track from an artist hailing from my surname’s country of origin. The artist is Filip Kaniecki, aka Monosylabikk, and he’s from Zielona Gora, Poland.
Magic Hours Posted by Richard Paul on April 3rd, 2008 @ 10:25 pm
In honor of Explosions in the Sky playing Magic Hours live for the first time in six years two nights ago in Chicago. I’m revisiting a short film that I took a liking to a while back. Jenna’s cousin, Dennis Aspiras, is the maker of the film and a slightly-altered Magic Hours serves as the soundtrack. The past two nights’ performances by EITS, in Chicago and Grand Rapids, have been incredibly magical hours for me, to say the least. They’re music was recently described as a “universal language” by local avid gig photographer, Kirstie, whom provided the shot of Michael James, above. Universal. That is what makes Explosion in the Sky’s music so everlasting. Below is “Social Experiment 9″ which may have been titled such for a school project but the name is somewhat fitting to the plot of the film. And below the video is a live audio recording of Magic Hours performed a little over six years ago in Dennis’s hometown of Toronto. Enjoy!
