In 1995 I recorded a limited edition cassette (and by limited edition I mean 1 copy) on my 4 track. It was the first thing I recorded as Las Venus Skyway. I've since lost the master tape so this is in "as is" condition. 

You May Touch Eternity was the best sounding track I could salvage from a pretty ratty looking Maxell UR90 that I'm sure was purchased at Radio Shack.

Can't really remember how I strung this track together but I'm pretty positive it was mostly sample manipulation on a yamaha SY22 that, remarkably I still have buried somewhere.

So in honour of Cassette Store Day 2014, here's a track from my never-to-be-released cassette. 

You May Touch Eternity

On October 2, 2013 my brother Paul passed away from kidney failure. I wrote this song as I witnessed him struggle through the last year's of his life.

I hadn't even listened to it until about a week ago and had no intention of ever releasing it.

But as a way of remembering him on a day that will likely always be filled with ups and downs, I've decided to post it.

I miss you, my brother.

THE APPEARANCES OF DAY TO DAY LIVING

This is my brave face and unknowing smile
I'm feeling confident
God at least I know I've tried
And like that we roll on
And just like that we're past
now this is my blank face

You know I've been thinking it through
like some people say that I do
Go on, believe blindly
it will never get to you
just like that we roll on
we'll leave it in the past
now this is my blank face

The Appearances Of Day To Day Living

A back track from my first official EP, released March 2004.



Happiness Always

On a historic day, a song about induced lethargy.

Killer Dope

Before he passed, my brother used to joke that he never got to hear new music from me. This is taken from my "to be released someday" solo effort, Stars End Explosively. Dedicated in his memory.

My memories are a commodity (reel to real mix)

Evan Sue-Ping has performed under several different monikers over the past few decades. Formerly of Toronto shoegaze unit My Pet Genius, he has expanded on his dense, pedal-driven attack through the use of just about anything he can get his hands on. As Las Venus Skyway, Sue-Ping creates what can best be described as "buskergaze."
