Stuff I'm Excited to Talk About!

Okay, so, before I start yakking too much, I have some new stuff out. I'll post that right away so that, if you want, you can listen to it while you read the rest of this.

This is a new single. It is pretty similar to most of my other synthy stuff, you will probably get a grin out of it. It changes key in the B section
Synthosaurus - The Nuge by Beautiful Unicorn


A few people on facebook seemed to dig this next one. It is a half-hour set of original tracks (plus one mashup plus one remix) that I did for a live Synthosaurus show in Thunder Bay this weekend.

SPEAKING OF SYNTHOSAURUS

If you live on the west coast, exciting and silly times await you. I'm going to be doing a show at the LIttle Mountain Gallery on August 4. The show is extremely affordable and there will also be fresh baked goods available as a result of my learning THE DEADLIEST BLUEBERRY MUFFIN RECIPE OF ALL TIME. Details can be found on the facebook event page here

SPEAKING OF LIVE SHOWS IN VANCOUVER,

I will be doing an acoustic folk music show with Vancouver's own Jenn Lauren at Rocky Mountain Flatbreads on August 5th. I played there with Jenn once before and it was the best time; RMF is this chiled out pizza joint that also does wine and beer. Moreover, it does all three very well. Jenn is a wonderful porfermer and I'm very excited to play some double bass for her. We hope you'll join us that night for what should be a very lovely and relaxing friday evening.

SPEAKING OF THE FACT THAT I HAVE TWO ADJACENT EVENINGS OF COMPLETELY UNRELATED MUSIC THAT I AM TRYING TO TELL YOU ABOUT,

I should probably take this opportunity to mention that I've changed how I'm organizing my professional identity lately. I'm making Beautiful Unicorn my label, and under that, releasing music of a few different styles under a few different aliases. Hencerforth, new releases belonging to the more crazy-synths, instrumental, kind-of-silly genre will be released as Synthosaurus, whom you may have seen rocking a keytar on youtube.

I make DJ mixes and stuff, too, so I'm now releasing those as DangerLegs (I have a soundcloud for that too now) - I will also use this alias for my original dance tunes that are less silly/crazy and more "serious" and normal.

I'm going to have both this blog and the Beautiful Unicorn soundcloud remain as a general catch-all for anything I've finished recently. So that means it probably won't be stylistically consistent in any way. So nobody get mad at me in a few weeks if/when I start posting recordings of solo accordion, or teenagers playing Journey covers that I made for this rock camp I working at (that is if I get the releases etc.).

Anyway. I hope that helps clarify a few things for the handful of people who have asked about what the whole deal is with 'who is Synthosaurus' vs. 'who is Beautiful Unicorn' and so on (I think it had some people from The Sixty One wondering, especially during the Bankai tour).

So in conclusion, thanks to anyone who read all of this. I HOPE YOU CONTINUE TO CHECK OUT SUBSEQUENT BEAUTIFUL UNICORN RELEASES
