Album Notes

A VideoSong is a new Medium with two rules:
1. What you see is what you hear (no lip-syncing for instruments or voice).
2. If you hear it, at some point you see it (no hidden sounds).

Nine of the ten tracks on this record are VideoSongs, originally released on YouTube. My original intention for the VideoSong medium was to create a film of the recording process in such a way that the individual audio and visual components were inseparable: each piece utilized the other as a creative force in the work, building a whole that was greater than the sum of the parts. Fortunately for me, but unfortunately for the medium, people dug the songs and wanted mp3s of the audio tracks. So I started selling individual mp3s of each VideoSong. Down the road a few months, I had ten tracks and decided to release the first batch of VideoSongs as an album.

Somewhere in that timeline, I joined forces with Nataly Dawn to create Pomplamoose. Nataly and I have been releasing VideoSongs under the Pomplamoose moniker since we started the band, and we included two of our tracks on this album.

“Passenger Seat” is a collaboration between myself and Louis Cole, a bodacious drummer with the funkiest feel known to man. Really.

Yeah Yeah Yeah (V2) is a single I released early in 2008. It’s a remix of a Yeah Yeah Yeah, a song from my first release, Nightmares and Daydreams.
