Thesis
Been working on my thesis as of late. Also, finding time to do some electronica production. Over the last two years I've been pushing pretty hard at school so I had to let the production slip a bit. It feels good to do a more creative type of work. I started working more work with some 8 bit emulation, which is very interesting. There is a whole group of people who are obsessed with creating music on old sound chips. Chip tunes, are usually programmed for a specific chip in a nerdy way using code. I use a different way of doing things, but it prevents my fake chip tunes from having an authentic quality. I like the sound but am by no means a chip tune purist.
In a pretentious world that is obsessed with ever increasing bit depth and sample rates, there is something that feels good about 8 bit.
BUSA and the Treble Cliff
Posted the final paper from the BUSA cross faculty course. The Treble Cliff: Music creation and distrobution in a post file sharing world. My groups project "Playdio" has been posted in the writing section of the site. Overall the class and project were very interesting. It was nice to learn a little about the "other" side of the music world. This experience made me look at the business of music making in a different way.
More Events
Lots of new material is up. More recordings soon.
CODEX Is CODONE!
Codex 4 x 15 was successfully premiered on April 9th, so I can now devote time to loading my materials into this website. My older projects as well as more recent works will slowly be updated as I bring the materials together. For the next while I'm going to be completing the written portion of my thesis as well as a Percussion Commission for the McGill Percussion Ensemble. Check back soon for new updates.
Bison Phonograph goes online!
My friend Kevin and I have been working together over the last few months to get www.ebritton.com up and running. He has helped me with many of my adventures... From my ska band, grad recital, recording.... Now I'll add website to the list. So far things look great and I'm pleased with the way things are shaping up. In the near future this space will share my music and related activities. Things are still under construction so please report anything crazy with the site. If you feel like testing out my new e-mail, check out the contact page.
