No Kangaroos in Canada - A Song

Hi Guys,
Got a new song up. Well it's an old song, I wrote it about 6 months ago, but I've only just gotten around to recording it.



I tried to write it with both Aussie and Canadian jokes in mind. Outside of those two demographics I'm not sure how much of it makes sense...

Eh.. I like it anyways!

Hope you're all having a great day,
-Daniel

...and then music happend?

Sooo... updates huh... Just not a thing that happens much these days. And I'm sorry for that. But I did write a song a little while back. It's about animation.
 
Inspired by @KtShy's tweet about working on a Friday night and suggested by @Fluxfoxphoto.

Think of this not as a polished song, but a sketch of one. A rough draft, mostly keys and breakdowns. A pencil test. Still needs to go through cleanup. Get some compositing done to it.

 ...except the sound version of all of that...


OH! OH OH OH!!!
I was featured in the Shanahanigans Travel Show: TCAF 2012!!!

I'm not sure if I ever got around to gushing about how totally amazing TCAF was. Got to spend the weekend with my good friend Laura (Who totally has an awesome FB page. You should check it out)
Met up with many of the Aussie folk, 'specially the Squishface Studio mob and Caravan of Comics.
And I met the Siblings Shanahan! Who are totally half the reason I wanted to ever come to Canada!
There were so many awesome artists and wonderful people and awesome and how freaking long does Younge Street need to be!? I mean seriously!?

 Hope everyone's having a great day and are sleeping at some point,
-Daniel

Happy 2012! (Or: what happened to you doing something a day for December?)

Hey everyone,

Welp, guess it goes without saying that I, in fact, did NOT complete a post for every day of December.
I made 18 posts and then... well.. stopped.

OH! Happy new year, by the way! It being 2012 now 'n' all. Hope everyone hand a splendid Christmas/Holiday/End of year break/Whatever. It being summer here the wether went really blisteringly rubbish for a couple of days, but it's quite pleasant now.

Oh, I got an iPhone recently. As a christmas/going away present to myself. 

I did a terrible thing to it though...

I installed Garageband onto it... 

And then this happened... In all it's multitrack reverb-heavy stereophonic goodness...

So yeah... that's me singing (I call it singing because that what it most resembles) and playing the uke.

There's also a feature that lets you have the audio run through a virtual amp, so my uke sounded like an electric guitar for parts. 

Anywhoosle, I'm going to try for some sort of regularity to posting, but it seems every time I define a timeframe it all falls apart. 

So yeah, expect stuff, but don't expect when. But soon. Hopefully...

Hope you're all having a great day,

-Daniel
