This was spontaneous while I was testing out this cool new bass pedal, the drums and the bass were all on one take and the guitars were all layered after. This was the kind of structureless random jam that I love doing, it has its own flow and I still can't believe it turned out so well.

The odd name is because a tooth of mine fell out around then and I thought my entire mouth was shifting and I was going to look different and that I was screwed so I was sad and jammed this out

Edit 4 years later: nah more teeth fell out and my face is messed right up, goodbye singing

Shfiting Faces

Fun times no thrills hanging out having fun jam. Sampled a tiny bit of drums from the wicked Dan Mayo here tiny.cc/mayogroove and went to town with everything else. Getting in the swing of things with Cubase and it's amazing, I love it

This was described as a desert acid trip of a track, and I agree

Mayo

Fleas

Bass in your FACE, practiced making harder sounding hits, filling out the track's presence, and trying to throw my guitar into the mix

Summer Glaze 2016

All Dressed

A fuzzy track I shouted on a little bit, this one moves, has cool guitars and shit, aw yeah

Really sorry to anyone expecting a Shaggy cover

Wasn't Me

Homer says it best; I love the fuzz I'm not changing it; this is a day getting progressively worse kinda track

catch it on youtube here it looks real cool:

Whack Winter 2016

Vacation

Was scrolling through projects and had like four bars of three instruments down for this and it was tight yo, tight. Built it up and threw some shit at it because I don't really know what I'm doing and this is it. This is the first track I live played midi drums on, and I barely fixed it up it sounds crazy loose and sloppy. Super fun to make though, had a blast

Made a dope EQ vid for this tune here too : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0sfUvn6Rn0

I used to love chocolate milk but can't even remember the last time I had it
Lastly I love that Outrun pic, man with the clouds it almost feels real

High Summer 2017

Chocolait

I posted this track a little too soon when I did the first time, here's something a lot closer to how I wanted this to sound. Should feel fuller and deeper, and bonus guitarage at the end too

Opening lines are from a funny youtube dude
www.youtube.com/user/friendlyjordies 
His Yilmaz stories are hilarious I'd suggest those

Astro Switch

Mashing notes and delayverbing it for days hoping it sounds alright

Here is the version with some real cool dudes you might have heard before making it super fly ya dig hahaaa

Mad Fall 2017

Snoozin

Peaceful innit, I was messing around. I usually end up with a smaller unrefined version of a track before I do it again which ends up being the final track, and this is what turned into Moonflight because I loved this so much and it was too damn short haha

Winter Hangz 2018 

Moonlit

Some ambient tones with the ocean and the rain and for some reason NASA and then for soooooome reason a real powerful speech at the end, I'm off the deep end I don't know what I want but I want to create and this is what happens when you kinda do what feels good

There actually is a youtube video for this haha

Moonflight

THROWBACK THURSDAY to 2 years ago (early 2016), after a long break recording guitars while I moved, I recorded this to get back in the groove and turns out I love it so much despite its glaring flaws that I still listen to it a lot. I was so lazy I used midi for the shakers, I always used to mic those up. It's a complete mess I know

Pic is me grooving out with the brilliant Tom Thompson at the local joint Have Mercy

Back Pain

Man this is my vibe, this is how I chill, I love the waves

I'd say this is probably the pinnacle of my musical work as far as I am here in 2019, it's everything I've always wanted in a track like this and it makes me feel great to hear every single time

Check out the Sunny City music vid on youtube it's real chill it's got words

Spring Winning 2018

Sun City

Chillin with the synths, I wish I could've done more with it but my machine would have started smoking and I can't afford that quite yet

credit to tmandjievdo0 on looperman for the drums, I'm not that good

Summer Silence 2018

Dreaming

This is so accurate you'd think I just walked around Edmonton with a mic in my hand but nah, the ending is how it feels to be heading south and or west the hell out of here

Ambient mix without the drums:

I'll freely admit this track is pretty boring for the most part, more like some kinda atmospherical with a drum beat? Haha I don't even know, but maaaan this is straight up still here for the piano transition at the end because I can't get enough of it, it's how I ended up with Lash...

Hometown

I'm running out of creative ways to say I'm just having fun messing around, I love chill beats and pretending I can play a piano riff. I really do want to record some guitary stuff but it's been so long I need the right chemistry to spark it up

Lash

Taught myself everything as I went along, nothing fancy here
Check out my Mixcloud I've been making sweet mixes, it's the last link below

Every track before Mayo was done in Audacity, everything after is Cubase

“I say, play your own way. Don’t play what the public want — you play what you want and let the public pick up on what you doing — even if it does take them fifteen, twenty years.”
 - Thelonious Monk

All the instaudio links are kaput, it was a wonderful site while it was around all those years

sorry to all the other shaun hoopers out there for putting all that music out on spotify and everywhere, wish I used a name like a band instead
