Song Origins: Wait (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Another Brainium song from the archives; this is one of Thom's favourites. We have a recording that predates Brainium (just keyboards), a studio version, and a "live" Basement Brainium version that you can hear in its entirety. Enjoy!
Vocals: Performing and Recording (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We've covered Brainium instruments guitar, bass, keyboards, and drums. One more main instrument to cover: the voice. This one presents some unique challenges, especially live (and without a dedicated sound person).
Anjine de Poitrine Plays Microtonal Music (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We're back with another episode on microtonal math rock band Anjine de Poitrine. Last time, we talked about how they use looping to build their sound. Now it's time to talk about the "microtonal" part of their music. Fun stuff!
Angine de Poitrine and Looping (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The band Angine de Poitrine has exploded onto the music scene this year with a musical style described as "microtonal math rock" and funky, interesting costumes and visuals. They make use of "digital looping" to create complex music far beyond what you'd expect from two players. So how does that looping work? The boys of Brainium try to explain it. This episode was recorded away from the "studio" so the sound quality is...fascinating? Remember, Brainium recorded lots of their music live directly
