The Phat Conductor - update w free tunes...

[Phat Conductor]

Just thought I'd drop a line to let you know what I've been working on lately...

Been spending most of my time working with my new band The Department of Motion. We are a 4 piece from Toronto consisting of myself on beats, bass, composition, production, etc.. Clara on vocals, Iain on guitars and bass, and the illustrious Stu doing the recording engineering. We should be ready to start doing live shows by the summer.

Here's a little mp3 teaser of a few tunes I have on the go with the band: http://thephatconductor.com/DeptOfMotion-Teaser.mp3

The first one I made for my girlfriend nunich for christmas (hence the covert living room samplings) the little short one is just getting started (to give you an idea what the process is like) it didn't have vocals or instrumental parts at that time. Then there's an as-yet-unnamed dubby tune, and this 15/8 time signature thing I did for Iain for Bravo (a canadian arts network) there's a video in the works. I can't wait.

I've been doing lots of breaks stuff lately too. I'll post about release dates when they are a bit closer. Most of this stuff is for summer.

Here's a little breaks teaser: http://thephatconductor.com/ThePhatC...assnectar).mp3

It consists of the Price Cuts remix I did with Dave Dub (coming out on Lab Rok), the Rawhill Cru remix we did, and then a tune I'm working on with Lorin Bassnectar. The first two are finished, just not out yet... I did a house tune with Jelo that will be dropping soon too, you can hear it in my Shambhala live set.

Those of you on the East coast of Canada will be happy to know that I'll be headlining "Noise Complaint This!" you can get the details here: http://www.ravehalifax.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=18501

I've been taking this really cool course at U of T about the nature and origins of meaning in the human world. There are a bunch of free lectures online that are totally worth checking out. www.mapsofmeaning.com

Until next time...

Sounding good. Lab Rok as a label is dope. Feelin the breakdown at about 3:30 here and the bassline in the track is general is dope.
