MP3: Faux Pas – Silver Line

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

SILVER LINE contains samples and sounds taken from a track called “diving bell” by melbourne noir folk band The Orbweavers. i am heavily indebted to them for letting me take liberties with their sounds.

the single edit of SILVER LINE is three and a half minutes long, but the song will appear in its fully extended 6-minute running time on my new album, which is called NOISEWORKS and will be released in early 2010. the album will also feature a version of CHASING WATERFALLS as well as 7 previously unreleased “songs”.

a huge thankyou to all of the artists involved in the single, as well as franc tetaz (who mixed the single) and lachlan carrick (who mastered the bundle):

2 Miles { 11.23.09 at 4:32 pm }: Done. My stomach and ears are now both satisfied.
3 michael { 11.23.09 at 4:34 pm }: Sounds great!

Plus – Noiseworks?? Classic name. I hope it’s a concept album based on the work of Jon Stevens. As replacement singer for INXS. Um, anyway.
4 Joh-un { 11.27.09 at 1:31 pm }: Awesome. Did you make the film clip to Silver Line, then? I don’t see a thankyou to anyone for that. If you did, how did you make it? What program(s) did you use? I’d love to make a youtube clip for one of my tunes…. ;)

….and I really wanna send you Gokiburi Nightmares… just been crazy busy with work the past month. Am now officially a little freer, time-wise… but I’m thinking it might be easier for you if I extract each track as a separate .wav file. Can you pm me and we can nut it out? ((I’m still a neanderthal when it comes to computers))

“Cool Quotes”

“Psychedelic. Balearic. Straight up pop. Call it what you want, this is memorable music.” keytarsandviolins

“Lush, dreamy future pop that just begs you to dive in headfirst, your heart in close second. Just be careful how many times you dip in – you might find yourself blissfully lost in here.” mess+noise

“Impressive elastic strands of plaited sense associations; extract of flashy disco, pastoral swoon and computer exploration.” threethousand

“A total cottage industry – one guy recording, pressing and releasing his own music – and itâ€™s an example of how to do it right from the bottom up.” Stylus

“A manic journey of sounds, bound by neither genre nor era.” Beat

“Cuts-and-pastes big samples with delicately rendered instrumentation. A party jam. Four stars.” Pitchfork
