SPECIAL GUEST: Brian Grace on saxophone.

This piece was inspired by a single vocal phrase sampled from jakoB haQ's online FaceTime chat on thesoundtestroom.com. It also includes a few phrase samples from another of my favorite music technology podcasts, Sonic Talk on Sonicstate.com. Heavily chopped up and processed, I believe the original speakers were Rich Hilton, Dave Spiers, and Mark Tinley, who have been some my favorite online music technology personalities for many years. 

iPad apps include: TC-11, Animoog, iMaschine, Synthmaster Player, and iFretless Bass.

Desktop apps include: Native Instruments Kontakt and UVI Workstation (one instance).

Real instruments: Fender Stratocaster guitar and saxophone.

Visions Of The Future

John Tabacco is an American composer, singer songwriter, producer, recording engineer, multi instrumentalist and graphic artist. He has engineered /mixed and mastered music for hundreds of New York recording artists as well as projects released on BMG: The Kemelions, RCA: Faze, Rampage/Rhino: Rhett Forrester, Columbia: Rebbie Jackson, Rykodisc : Bob Marley, Columbia: Chris Jasper, Electra: Sonia Dada and Nickleodeon’s Are You Afraid Of The Dark? He is the CEO of It Iz What It Iz Music Publishing which currently holds over 750 songs in its catalog. He has been an associate producer for IndiMusic TV and hosts a bi-weekly radio program (CLAM RADIO) on college radio WUSB.fm since 1999. He is currently the head of A&R at Modern Voices Digital Distribution.

His musical background consists of extensive study of orchestration with noted 20th century composer John Lessard, harmony with the late electronic music maverick Bulent Arel, and composition with Stony Brook University professor Peter Winkler. He received his BA in Music from Stony Brook University in 1983. 

Like an unfolding musical diary / puzzle, Tabacco’s music and art are constantly being re-worked, juxtaposed and intertwined. His style is a melding of pop - jazz -rock - avant garde / aleatory, classical and comedy.  He has been recording his music non stop since 1979.

Of note: In 1989 the satirical, absurd house song "Go House Yourself" co-written by Tabacco, Pati and DiMauro reached position 39 on Billboard's dance chart. 

In 2014 Tabacco signed a record deal with Texas, indie label, Muffin Records. They released his CD “Unfulfilled Shopping Carts Syndrome” internationally.

I'm working on my apptitude, and my attitude.

Reposts only, generally a few per day at most.

The wild and uncommon story of Jimmy Mirror's life.
A story full of spaceships, colourful laser beams, dangers, aliens and wonderful creatures dealing with a hero, our hero, Jimmy Mirror, the one and only hero in that infinitely weird universe.
