Goitia Deitz remix finished

Posted by under regular

Forgot to mention: I wrapped up my Goitia Deitz remix of “Romance” just before the holiday. Sent it to the band and they dig it. I’m looking forward to hearing the full EP, which will also have remixes by Tom Furse (of The Horrors), Croms, Clout!, KVB, and Harry McCanna.

How to be a great writer (excerpt)

Posted by under regular

litreactor:

get a large typewriter
and as the footsteps go up and down
outside your window

hit that thing
hit it hard

make it a heavyweight fight

make it the bull when he first charges in

and remember the old dogs
who fought so well:
Hemingway, Celine, Dostoevsky, Hamsun.

if you think they didn’t go crazy
in tiny rooms
just like you’re doing now

without women
without food
without hope

then you’re not ready.

Charles Bukowski

Being a great artist or musician is not so different.

Shadow Relics reviewed by The Deli Magazine

Posted by under regular

Shadow Relics received a favorable review from The Deli Magazine Chicago:

The debut album for local musician and artist Rainbo Video (aka Arturo Evening) is beautiful, haunting, and stunning in scope. Over just five tracks, he manages to loop his way through modern electronic music. This is minimal trance or ambient music but with so many layers and textures you will find yourself lost and in love. The epic opening to the album, “Ultraviolet,” is the best of Steve Reich mixed with Aphex Twin. The album as a whole is chilling, but that could be because of the album’s core concept. Shadow Relics centers around an expedition to Antarctica and the strange artifacts uncovered there.
