I wrote a new song today.

You may download it on bandcamp.

It is called ‘rose and airplane‘.

I was testing the components of my new 4-track recorder. Verdict? The headphone jack has a lot of noise, but this doesn’t carry over to the recording. So I made this song in about 5 minutes. Mad skillz, I know.

• Song title: Army Tanks
• Lead: Casio MT-65
• Bass: Casio MT-65
• Drums: Roland TR-606
• Vox: Me

I mixed it all down on the unit itself, recorded it into Ableton (to see if I could) and converted it into MP3 in Adobe Audition. I’m probably going to put a mixer in between the audio and the 4-track in the future, just for more sonic flexibility. Anyway, enjoy!

PS – This is what ALL the music in The Future is going to sound like.

Needless to say, I lusted over a couple compact 4-tracks until stumbling on this one for a deal. I’m planning a couple cassette-only releases in the near future; some lo-fi hipster goodness will be coming your way shortly, and frankly I’m a little excited. This is a Tascam Porta02MKII, and should do the job nicely. I am excite!

Thanks to the folks at Ask An Atheist for being awesome hosts.

As far as upcoming shows are concerned, you cannot miss this one. You are not allowed to miss this one. So we’ll see you this Thursday at Chop Suey in Seattle!

Stickers are here! I’ll be sticking these all over Seattle, and wherever else I happen to be. Prolly give some away at shows like THE TWO SHOWS COMING UP THIS WEEKEND. They turned out really nice, too ( Thanks Sticker Guy!). I don’t have any stickers on boobs pictures like some people, but if you give me your address or whatever I’ll send you some. Probably.

As far as those upcoming shows, here is the event information:

5/21 – Countdown To Backpedaling @ Dorky’s Arcade in Tacoma WA at 8pm!
5/22 - DvOd at the Rendezvous with Three Ninjas & Tangentbot and The Jesus Rehab in Seattle at 10pm!

As I receive more information on the new additions, so will you, so check back or follow tangentbot on Facebook (or both! The internet!).

I’ve been so lazy! I take sole responsibility for not letting y’all know about our last show at The Josephine in Ballard last week… but it was rad as hell. We got to play with Eighteen Individual Eyes, Height With Friends and case & ctrl; all of whom are awesome performers. Check them out, buy their music, see their shows, etc.

Now, onto new stuff. I’m playing a couple shows with Three Ninjas pretty soon here, so come out and listen to musics and dance around like a freaking idiot! Watch Three Ninjas rap like his mouth depended on it! Watch me play with a crossfader, turn some knobs, press some buttons and perhaps wiggle a little bit!  It’s the magic of science and it’s happening soon, so check it out!
