Video / Advert for : CasioMTB & William Gerard – Help is on the way – The Carp Pond

13th March 2013

So, here is why i have been fairly silent for the past 6 weeks – been making this damn video! Learned a lot about maths for a strat – its weel worth working out that at 2mb a day rendering a film will take 7 years unless you change some things.

Still linux held out and only actually froze (and needing a forced reboot) once. All the other times it chugged along.

The idea still is to try and do a vdeo and music for each of the 12 stories – we will see if i manage to keep to that.

In the mean time the winner of whcih mix of Help is on the way is:

Help in on the way - The Carp pond - Both (183)
Whcih i am glad about.

NEW MP3 No 61: CasioMTB & William Gerard – More than you can handle

29th November 2012

More than you can handle (135)

the thing  is that this is old. 2004. i momentarily thought i was rich and bought 2 moogerfooger pedals. part of the problem was that i was living  in  Prestonpans at the time and i really needed to pretend that i didn’t or at least drown out the noise of the neighbours who only had one volume – scream. all conversations were screamed. and they weren’t really very nice conversations to listen to. so there was even more headphones than normal. so this – 8 minute moggerfooger 1 note ebow noodle which i found a couple of days ago and rather liked.

so it was actually recorded during  the last few months of work on  tantrum’s second album advice to users (of life: work less, earn less, spend less and do more), to give it the wordy title.  and therefore pre-casioMTB. but what the hell.

Sadly i realised that having  £500 tied up  iin  two pedals just wasn’t really possible. so i had to sell them, and bought myself a EH micro synthesiser to make up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

NEW MP3 No 38: CasioMTB – Please type a vile name as it makes me feel better – you know

24th September 2012

CAS10 MTB and William GerardPlease type a vile name as it makes me feel better - you know (273)

This is the second track from last weeks rather successful ( i think session). Length warning:10mins odd. It all takes time to sort itself out. but i do find it fun doing it all live in one take.

there is a third from this session and another one that appeared at the weekend though i suspect that that is one that will need vocals, guitars, bigness in general. we’ll see.

have a good start of week

NEW MP3 No 38: CasioMTB – If only it were true

20th September 2012

CAS10 MTB and William GerardIf only it were true (196)
now, its been pretty bad of late. had to do a computer update which totally went wrong. The whole lot went chinese for a bit – a common problem with Unity upgrades it seems.
Lost passwords, couldn’t and actually still cant upload to the floppy site.
and most upsetting of all a comment – and its always spam, took time out from their busy schedule of spamming to complain about my careless spelling!
it would be great if i actually read over what i wrote and corrected it but actually. what the hell, yes i should, sorry.
this is 1 of 4 i did last night. its a 15 minute monotonous drone really. but quite nice. background music perhaps. i like it.

so, i have music to go up! casiomtb test runs i guess you could call them, more blab and more gasgiant.

good luck with it all

NEW MP3s: CasioMTB and William Gerard – Its nice to have you home again at last V2 AND Stumbling in the Dark Looking for the Light Switch

13th June 2012

Its nice to have you home again at last V2 (250) Stumbling in the Dark Looking for the Light Switch (239)

What? Reguritating  the same old crap?! Its an outrage.

And yes i didn’t have time to mention  Stumbling in the Dark Looking for the Light Switch earlier. I’ve had it since last summer and sometimes i love it and sometimes i think – oh it goes on  a bit. But these are not about final mixes. Its about what is happening now. (and 6 months ago is still now to me and my recording  speed).

Which leads me on to  Its nice to have you home again at last V2. Hang on, its the same iwth a blepp blep bleep at the beginning!. Well its not. The middle section has grown and devopled a bit – hopefully for the better -  with lots more vocally things going  on.

Is this the final version. I don’t know

Are these albums? The first was ‘Homemade prog for the down at heart punk’ and now this is ‘Of No Merit or Consequence’? I don’t know.

I hope to see gasgiant very son – and will try to chivvy up  some new material from them.

 

NEW TUNE: CasioMTB and William Gerard – So, whats the turning circle like on a Dymaxion then? mp3

NEW TUNE: CasioMTB and William Gerard – So, whats the turning circle like on a Dymaxion then? mp3

30th April 2012

This late – sorry. I had hoped to get 8 up by CasioMTB and William Gerard but… well never mind.

On the plus side, next up some Gasgiant, or rather, mik and ryan have given me the go-ahead to put up free mp3s of all the rest of their 2 albums. Starting , probably towards the end of this week.

Now, Dymaxion, started in 2010 though i think i can find something much earlier – if i could just work out what i called it:

So, what's the turning circle like on a Dymaxion then? (322)

plugin and start with the guitar, then miks drums (sliced and diced) bass, casio mt46, sadly my vocals with some aahs which i am ok with, and lead stylophone, a bit of (legitimate – it happened, not added after) that noise and an extra chord. bit more whatever it is, and the stylophone drum kit with some i-just-like-reverse-vocals. guitar continues on. Casio solo1. My vocal, with the tc helicon (so much more to follow with that beast) Casio solo2. bit more stylophone drum machn.ine..don’t come round here no more i am not as damned as it may seem, to me.

i’ve worried over the mix for so long, the balance between noisy bass, guitar and bass drum. i just dont know. may yet have to record it all again. i hope not.

NEW TUNE: CasioMTB and William Gerard - Trying Very Hard Not to be an Idiot mp3

NEW TUNE: CasioMTB and William Gerard – Trying Very Hard Not to be an Idiot mp3

21st April 2012

So, its a bit delayed. Finished mixing this on monday but didn’t get a chance to listen to the mix properly until last night, so, here it is, the next unfinished (or not necessarily finished anyway) mix of a new tune by CasioMTB and William Gerard:

Trying Very Hard Not to be an Idiot (349)

I will try and sort out  a video of the Acid mix, i quite like them, and a vizualisation video too.

Hope you  like it, thanks for listening.

please share, remix etc..

New MP3: CasioMTB – Well it’s better than dy’n to death

10th April 2012

This is the sort of part 2 of Scared of Empty Threats.

Well its better than dy'n to death (343)

Recorded the same night it starts the same, and then wanders off in its own direction.

I am in the process of making a lame-arsed video of this one too.

It is one take, live recording of a Casio MT46 through pedals.

And again, i really rather like it. I am hoping others or maybe i will add to it. Or maybe not.

Currently outside Appin in a cottage overlooking Stalker Castle. Which is cool, and wet, but at least not midgey season yet. So this post is a bit short. And i can’t finish the video.

So, hope you like it.

PS. Sorry – download didn’t work first time – surprisingly difficult by phone

NEW TUNE – CasioMTB: Scared of Empty Threats

4th April 2012

Scared of Empty Threats (346)

and a shoddy video:

so, whats this all about?

Scared of Empty Threats is a live, one take, unedited jam i guess, on a CASIO MT46 going through various effects pedals. No other instruments were hurt during the recording of this.
I dont know what style of music this: lo-techno, no-techno, electronic?
i did normalise it and compress it a bit.

It starts as you would expect, crappily, and then picks itself up and goes for it.

as to the video, well, its an 8 minute video captured from linux’s media player (which i think i now know how to get it in better quality, sorry) and i like watching it. its very dated and i think thats quite cool.

Oooh its just not natural video – but its pretty poor

27th March 2012

less a video, more of an explanation, maybe…

NEW TUNE - late mix: Ooooh It's just not natural mp3 by william gerard & CASI0MTB

NEW TUNE – late mix: Ooooh It’s just not natural mp3 by william gerard & CASI0MTB

25th March 2012

so, here’s something  i began in  mid 2007:

Ooh Its just not natural (356)

Oh It’s just not natural mp3 by william gerard & CASI0MTBI finished a full blown version by September 2009. And around this time i played to nikki – who had written, without hearing  the rest of the song, the bass line at the start. She absolutely hated it.

So i put it on  ice.

And came back to it at the start of this year, 2012. Shortened it a lot. There’s still more i will do to it, probably.

And i am sorry its me singing  not nikki, but there you  go.

so, here’s something  i began in  mid 2007, (in fact here is an early version from May 2007 – not sure if i am doing  this or not).

its guitar, bass, mic wheeler (gasgiant) drums sliced and diced, casio mt46, vocals through a tube amp (must remember to remember how i did that, as it worked quite well) .

Bit gloomy though.

And heres a really crap video:

William Gerard & CAS10 MTB: Its nice to have you home again at last .mp3

William Gerard & CAS10 MTB: Its nice to have you home again at last .mp3

15th March 2012

I haven’t listened to this one. If i do i will want to tweak the mix and postpone the upload. so, there you  go, new tune : Its nice to have you home again at last (396).

But the plan was always to put up  tunes knowing  that they were not necessarily the final mix, so: THIS IS NOT A FINAL MIX!

What it is is my grandfather-in-law’s acoustic guitar, whose bridge is slowly tearing  away from the body through the Helicon (of course). But double tracked with the clean acoutic as well (just so i know where i am, as it got a bit muddling). Clean vocals, helicon vocals, and then the casio mt46, through the works.

Fairly slow on delivery, possibly a shot of the set up on the night, but not sure

CAS10 MTB: oh my dear god she.mp3

CAS10 MTB: oh my dear god she.mp3

7th March 2012

so, you  are not expecting  this. The best thought would be to reboot and it’ll be gone. But it is, so…

CAS10 MTB and William Gerard one take. Watching or listening to the idea of going and playing live and winging it, just playing and hoping you’ll get through, is very scary. this is live casiomt46 and helicon vocals, and claps, got to have claps, followed by a wig out, again to be expected. oh my dear god she doesnt want me to come.sorry.
no.not about sex.
and it goes on so please stop at any point. its only lofihardcore, if there is such a thing.
There is a radio mix in there. But should i edit it when its currently one honest piece? ok i just chopped the first minute off – its a hard enough start as it is.

And, should mention: C, all the way. not point messing  around thinking ‘ooh what about …that’, just this.

I am just going  to listen to it one last time, this time the mp3. Had the headphones on, no sound, forgot arthur has the mixer. ok, this time.

So here it is: Oh My Dear God She (610)

Also, turns out that this is download 100 from Floppy Records. Thats nice. I’ve not released anything  new since the day i uploaded Fake Tan: Pieces, in  2009.

Which is actually quite quick for me i guess.

good luck and thank you.

oh and the B side next monday, 12 March. (to be edited?)
