skinny ghost properly on the myspace

It feels like a bit of a step backwards, but I can now be found here for your streaming pleasure.

Skinny Ghost

Clicky Horns

My newest abomination! It's a mostly-finished piece starring me on the keys and actually playing a real instrument. I'm going all analog. Anyway, I think this makes a good pair with my other eerie hip-hop piece.

Loss Leaders Mixtape

LOSS LEADERS MIXTAPE

New mixtape from the Skinny Ghost. This one is mostly Kompakt, Leaf and Mutek-style microhouse and ambient stuff. It's a late-night-drive mixtape. A wondering-about-the-future mixtape.

THE FIELD, MURCOF, MATTHEW DEAR, LINDSTROM, ANDERS ILAR, MONOLAKE, BOARDS OF CANADA (&c)

Everybody get a little bit germanic.

oh boy (collaboration)

oh boy (skinny ghost edit)

This is a piece I worked on with my now-edmontonian friend Jobi. It's an ambient piece featuring jobi on vocals and keys and me on ... well, my computer fucking up her pretty voice. There's some field recording in there, too.

It seems like I make music with people and then they go away.

Hip Hop Work In Progress

KidsPiano Hip-Hop In Progress

In an effort to keep updating and to keep an eye on the tracks I'm working on, I'm uploading an in-progress hiphop track i'm in the middle of.

Software Used?
- Ableton Live 6.0.1 (I could go on a rave about how excellent Live 6 is, but I'll spare you.)
- Native Instruments Absynth
- A bunch of free samples from CM Magazine

Yay verily. Comment, plz, and let me know what you think.

Naiad - The Anagram Sessions

Recorded last summer, before my dear friend Cian vanished back to Ireland. We spent a handful of afternoons recording some noise stuff in my living room at the Woodland Realm.

Created on a laptop and guitar, taped into a costco style tape deck, ripped to mp3, burned to CD and then made into a half-dozen very limited edition cassettes. I'll post the mp3s here and then probably add the scanned art later.

Enjoy!

skinny ghost mixtape #1

BLOGFODDER is a party rap / dance / whatever mixtape I made a little while ago. I'm going to be posting links to music I'm a part of here, too. I guess this counts.
