After seeing this nifty lil’ VST over the weekend and being the tech-audio geek that I am I couldn’t help but share. I should explain, a VST is simply a plugin for your audio programs (DAWs). So for instance:

Apple Logic/GarageBand
Adobe Audition
Ableton Live
Renoise
Cubase
Pro Tools

Each of the above packages [...]

Here’s an artist I haven’t thought about in a while… Mr. Richard Melville Hall commonly known to friends as Moby is set to release a new album. You may remember he gained super music noteriety for his album Play back in ‘99 which at the time seemed to permeate all forms of audible [...]

It’s Sunday, I’m tired, maybe a wee bit hungover but I found something that fits the “must share with the world” category.  I urge you to check out the inexplicably awesome work of Alyana Udesen. This is somebody that I’d add to my list of people I’d like to hang out with for a day!  BEAUTIFUL [...]

If you haven’t already guessed, I have an affinity for amusing alliteration. But this post not about me. In fact it’s the opposite! It’s about… others… and their… style.  The whole concept of snappin’ digi-photos of hip kids and their street fashion is not particularly new.  I believe it would take something close [...]

Back in ‘07 I decided that Vancouver was the place to spend the mid-summer month of July. To escape the heat for one night, I queried my pal Kate about any shows we could go check out. She had mentioned that Band of Horses were riding through town, and at the time I hadn’t heard [...]

I’m sure this has been through the blog community wringer but I kept thinking about it, so alas, a post.  As an avid bike rider (though not a messenger) I think this is not only a novel idea but practical.  The idea is that these bikes lay a colourful trail of chalk that shows other [...]

As a kid, I could watch a flick over and over again, no matter how bad it was (chalk up 30 some-odd sit-throughs of Home Alone 2: Lost in New York). These days though, it’s rare that I’ll watch something I could repeat view again and again. In the case of The American Astronaut, it [...]

Every once and a while you have the opportunity to hear a group that gets the pop equation just right. Vancouver’s Hey Ocean is one such group. This is a fairly recent addition to the Splash playlist but is most certainly a welcomed one. These cats are offering up a delicious sampling [...]

I was wandering through my local used book store the other day and amongst the dusty copies of Time Life’s Mysteries of The Unknown series and The Knaughty Look: The Magic of Scarf Fashion, I found a rare printed treat; The R. Crumb Coffee Table Book.  So who exactly was this R. Crumb character?  Unless [...]

Has this ever happened to you? You’re working towards your physics degree and meanwhile in your spare time become a master of Photoshop and Illustrator? Okay maybe that’s not an everyone thing, but it certainly was for UK based illustrator Nik Ainley. Ainley’s unique combination of fantastical photographic imagery, illustration and typography [...]
