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):

Done. My stomach and ears are now both satisfied.

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.

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))

“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
