Music Mondays: firewire – Telepathic

This week’s Music Monday goes out to one of our close associates at ATAM Productions with the release of ATAM 007 which is the single Telepathic by the new artist firewire.

This artist is actually part of the group Massaad + Garland that we’ve covered before. Go check them out!

From the record label homepage:

This song was written in 2010 while firewire was working on music for film scores. It never was selected for anything at the time, but now has been released for your listening pleasure.

You can listen to a preview on SoundCloud below or buy it on iTunes etc

Twitter for Bands: My experiences

Airport Prescreening checkpoint

Back in March of 2011 I first started to try and actively get more Twitter followers. My original plan failed because I wasn’t able to maintain that “Follower Momentum.”

The new plan was to follow possible fans and then hope that they follow me back. It seems obvious then: the more work you do in selecting who you follow, the more success you will have in connecting with true fans. In this article I’m going to explain the prescreening process I went through. Eventually I’ll post my long term results in another update.

Earlier this year I took my Twitter follow count from a meagre 100 or so up to about 360 followers in 24 hours but I spent a lot of time and the quality of my followers was garbage. How did I achieve this and why did I ultimately fail?

Music Mondays: ATAM004 – Massaad + Garland – Atmosphere

Here is a track that was made by the Ottawa-based vocal duo Massaad + Garland and just released at the begining of March 2011 on the independent electronic label ATAM Productions

I’m a big fan of the vocoder sound so this one is an instant win but also worthy of attention is the instrumental version which doesnt have any of this vocal. A bit of history about the track: the music and percussion was originally made for last summer but for some reason or another it never got finished. This year a vocal was added and the whole thing was remixed and mastered giving you the following . . .
