schizophrenia sucks -- here's how to get all sides of the story

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 11:05:58 -0800

perhaps one of the most devastating illnesses facing us today. the added burden of dealing with stigma in everyday life can be as bad as the illness itself. 1 out of every 100 people born in the world, across all barriers of race, class, education, intelligence etc. will develop schizophrenia. schizophrenia is not to be confused with multiple-personality disorder or violence. 7 out of 100 people are violent. most are not mentally ill. people who are treated early have the best chance at a good life. there are 4 (last i heard) subdivisions of schizophrenia. there is also schizoaffective disorder which combines elements of both schizophrenia-like symptoms and mania and depression from bi-polar. (previously known as manic-depression) one of the gravest dangers for people with this illness is falling through the cracks of the system 40% of schizophrenia sufferers attempt suicide. too many succeed. i will now let the site speak for itself: thank you for your time

We were lucky enough to have a 16mm projector and at the time there were NFB offices in most places that were big enough. You could borrow the films from a library and watch them at home. this was way before anyone had heard of home video. His animations had life in them! Closely synced to the music (which he did by figuring out how to paint directly on film) a squiggle moved to and fro to fabulous jazz music. In his award winning yet controversial film - Neigbours - two pixelated real actors were photographed one frame at a time at the high point of a jump. It documents two neigbours who start out civilized but end up fighting... check below for availability of DVD's. This is great stuff.

John Oswald

Sat, 07 Jun 2008 00:22:26 -0700

This is the guy that did a fantastic album by cutting up other people's recordings. The album was eventually seized by the authorities for copyright infringement. Then the grateful dead hired him to do a two-cd work that consisted of dozens of different versions of the same song, played over years. it's really good. Also cool: one time i called him on the telephone to find out how he recorded a particular thing on an album, he was a little weirded out but nicely told me how he did it. so he's a cool guy to boot! enjoy!

MIDI -Musical Instrument Digital Interface

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 08:08:36 -0700

well folks it's been around since the 80's and has probably had influence on your record collection since then. this lens should give you plenty to go on to learn more about MIDI. It works the same way a player-piano works. the markings on the sheet of paper aren't recordings of the sound of the piano just instuctions to sound the piano's notes at certain times. Unlike a player piano MIDI also sends velocity (how hard you hit the keyboard's notes) and many other things like time-code. MIDI will allow two keyboards hooked up to one another to play the same notes on both at once, but it goes much farther than that... guitarists use it to trigger synths or automate effects, studios use it... live it can change banks of sounds from a simple MIDI program change! read on to explore a standard that lives on in today's musical instruments and beyond.

mr Dolby has been at it for a while. he has been an inspiration to electronic musicians (and otherwise) everywhere. sure that Blinded By Science song was overplayed but the real treat is digging into the rest of his work! my personal favorite album by him is The Flat Earth, it is quite wonderful. this lens should give you more to go on to get to know THOMAS DOLBY --

Wed, 20 Feb 2008 22:45:48 -0800

smoking will someday be totally illegal and if caught you could lose your healthcare... the basic idea that poisoning people and getting them addicted to heroin-like drugs and sugar cure it... how about sugar coat it. i smoke and i don't like it. i'm a slave to stores to buy things that will erase me from this earth at a drastically fast pace. sure some people have survived until very old and still smoked. where i live you can't smoke with children in the car. what makes it ok for adults? oh we're older so we choose to. if it weren't socially condoned people could proactively make their lives cleaner. in and out.

i'm listening to severed heads right now! my friend bill taped a profile of severed heads' music from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's Brave New Waves radio program (no longer on the air, sadly) it wasn't a very hi-fi recording but something jumped out of the tape and reached me! i overplayed so many classic Severed HEads recordings back when they came out including the classic 23 minute extended mix of "Gashing the old Mae West" which was guaranteed to clear out the room but i loved it. Severed Heads were the first electronic band to have what i called "musical noise" deep in industrial but lighter and more melodic. his sound design continues to be an influence on my own recording project (art damage) check this stuff out!

feeling pretty down. little things are having disproportionate effects on my security and happiness. diminished expectations.
scared to write a new album, afraid it will be the last for me.

i don't like going to sleep every nite because my dreams are about a lack of safety and known things. i'm tired when i wake up.

facebook is really good for me, i'm in touch with friends past and present. i am so lucky to have such a supportive group of people around me. i'm always learning.

i'm finding it difficult to keep all the balls in the air. i've fallen behind on so many things. too much to do, too many cigars smoked.

i have two side projects in the wings. not sure if they'll even happen.

on a more upbeat note: my latest song is in my myspace player. first song ; noted by others. i'm quite proud of it.

Originally uploaded by artdamage00

hi pholks,

the art damage 25th anniversary concert is happening 1 1/2 days from now, i'm trying to relax and get things done but my nerves are nervous...

just put the finishing touches on a new song that has been getting good reviews from people around me. i had some difficulty getting it to sound right, but i'm learning a lot about the software and mastering in general.

there's a bit of buzz about the show, not all due to me... people around me are helping out with promotion, the great poster for the show, drives, and more. this really blows me away because i've been at this alone for a long time... having people come to me wanting to help signifies that i've "made it" in certain ways.

i've heard that i'm sitting on quite a bit of good music, and that it just needs wider exposure to be successful. i hope that's right!

efforts are underway to get my stuff into movies, trailers, tv, and videogames. not sure what the response will be to what i put out there but it sounds exciting.

i've had some great times and really bad times over the years.
this feels, oddly enough, like a starting point. i'm enjoying my studio so much that i feel i could make music forever and be happy no matter what the outside world's response to it was. i know from experience that the one constant is change...

anyway i'm looking forward to the show very much

i will do my best to make it worthwhile...

hi folks! wasn't doing so well for a while there... hardly did much but stay in bed. i didn't like it.

now, however, things are bloomin' lots going on.

i'm going to be working with someone else at making stuff in the studio hope it goes well...

i'm re-mastering ancient Phycus material for re-release on iTunes. all in all a fun time making them sound even more evil. cool to be talking to that crowd again.

looks like istvan kantor got hurt by someone?! wtf! careful monty, we need you around to show us the way.

also will be checking out brian ov phycus' Unireverse project on vinyl as well-- very cool packaging.

improvements to the studio, new toys, new samples, more HD space. all good.

looking at getting more jobs doing soundtrack work - i find it challenging.

had a promo bit on andrew duke's very long-running radio show where i said something like "this is art damage and you're listening to andrew duke" kindof thing.. nice to know that i'm famous enough that someone would want that from me... i hope i get some tunes up that show for sure. i'll keep trying.

i'm really enjoying twitter as it destroys the world. hehehe. help i think i'm being followed! haha.

me on twitter:

anyway i hope someone somewhere is enjoying this blog...

thanks

so i'm enjoying the internet once again, i'm quite active on facebook and love chatting up ex-girlfriends and long lost relatives...

i must admit that for a while i've been reading a lot about marketing and branding and so on. my reasons were many for getting into it. what i've noticed is that some marketers create things you actually want and are adept at sweetening the deal or getting your attention.

i hate it when i've signed up for something free with an email and then i start getting emails from them that have a subject line that starts RE: my latest offer
when i never sent them anything inquiring about that latest offer.

it just seems too manipulative. i would like to put together a nON-Marketing checklist of manipulative things that marketers do to sell something.

i'm going to name this project and tweet requests yahoo answers etc, to build up a library of yukky mean ways people get (or try to get) your money.

so feel free to comment on this and share your experiences!
i will tweet this also to get input there...

look for results (or lack of interest from everyone) here!

i hope you'll join in the discussion

i remain yours

wow! this is an exciting time for me with big highs and big low... intense is how i'd put it...

had to put my step mom's dog to sleep. i want to go like that!
oddly beautiful in its sadness and loss. i petted her up to the very end...
not even a sigh. much respect to the vet and his staff for being totally considerate of
my and the dog's feelings.

on the plus front i'm planning on making more changes around here. i've been a bit scared to make new music now that people are liking it. now i feel like i have a standard or expectations to live up to. i've had a block about composing for too long!
so i'm announcing that in 6 months come hell or high water an album of music will be relased on CD and electronically.

i'm doing internet again full on now that my service is back. watch this space for details...

listening to BOC, and my dad

thanks for reading

Wow, my new tactic is to write this post in Microsoft Word thus the capitalization will be automatic and easier to read.

Magic is happening in the studio. I’m finding my Korg OASYS PCI is one of the best sounding synths I’ve ever heard! This is mainly because the PC is in the shoppe being fixed…

http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/oasys-pci/files/

is a page where you can find the art damage bundle, a collection of patches for the OASYS PCI freely available for download.

Of course you have to have the hardware to use any of it…

• My buddy from ??? just put up his first myspace site,
I would love it if you checked it out IF you happen to like interesting noise ambient sounds. This guy knows his stuff and just one listening is not enough for his stuff. I have stuff he hasn’t released and I’ll tell you it’s good! He may send some stuff for me to “master” which I would love, but in the meantime definitely go to:

Well, I hope that you enjoy that!

It has lots of good advice.

Listening: Stereolab, Autechre, We love you

And more!

Gonna go for now, stay cool: it’s winter.

Pleased,

well the dust has settled from my last perfomance, not great but i am appreciative that a guy came up to me after the show and told me he really liked my stuff. that counts for a lot!

i guess every small victory like that is what keeps me going

talked to one of my recording buddies last night (new year's eve) and i think a joint musical attempt is in order...

also an old release of mine (from the 80's) is getting a new life... as a split-side cassette release along with "the abusive step-dads" it's pretty heavy/silly/noisey/sampled stuff but the guy who's putting it out feels that it's some of his favorite art damage recordings! so thanks guys... i have more... i will try to post a link if that sort of thing will become available.

listening to - meat beat manifesto, skylab, drome, severed heads, venetian snares, squarepusher, amon tobin and others.

also i've joined some new sites,
as always they will be listed at the art damage clearinghouse ASAP.

take care until next time,

well i don't do this often but here you go: i'm promoting something else besides me!

I'm evaluating a multi-media course on blogging from the folks at Simpleology. For a while, they're letting you snag it for free if you post about it on your blog.

It covers:

The best blogging techniques.
How to get traffic to your blog.
How to turn your blog into money.

I'll let you know what I think once I've had a chance to check it out. Meanwhile, go grab yours while it's still free.

also i have new toys for the studio.. crazy inexpensive!

new projects:

i have a new video ready to upload

i might be doing mixing/mastering of a metal band

i have a new jingle composed

and more is on the way!

so glad you read this,

Written for you!

Art damage here, reporting from the cold hard night. S. has hopped down to TDOT.

Just got some new toys in the studio… ahh these group buys at kvraudio just blow me away… SFX machine RT

http://www.kvraudio.com

there’s a video of mine that’s done quite well on YouTube, if you’re into repetitive techno this is the song for you! the video is repetitive too.

http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=4RYW0Q9r4Qc

this not having internet is driving me crazy!!!

I need to get that looked after.

Friends of mine (recording dudes) are preparing to edge out into the virtual world. I will pump their shite once it’s live.

Busy doing projects for people. I designed a bunch of new t-shirts that get laughs when I show them to people. Give me time and I will have the new designs both at cafepress and Zazzle whichever you prefer.

More “live” shows are in the works, more documentary soundtracks in the making and all the while learning new techniques in Reason 4.0 among others.

Since sales of my Disabled Controls CD have topped out at 2 I will remind people that you can listen to the whole thing for free at isound. If you really are a stickler for sound quality CD’s are available.

space magic is getting ready to hit the interstreet!
details about this ambient album by art damage will follow with a link to CDBaby!

good news: got my first cheque from Squidoo. i love seth godin.

read a book called predictably irrational, pretty interesting stuff about
humans and our strange decisions...

i'm happy to report that i will be composing music for 2 different documentaries!

i've also applied to play gobblefest 15, a huge show of indie bands that goes on for 3 days. i'm hoping i get to play...

a cassette label has asked to release a cassette of art damage vs. another cape breton experimental musician. i love the idea and look forward to putting out some cool weird tracks!

hi folks,

things are starting to pick up in the world of art damage!

glad to be in contact with Todd in Toronto his music is quite brilliant
and hopefully he'll let me link to it when it's released...

oh yeah and here's something else:

hopefully that will work

i'm still blown away that seth godin wrote about my site in his e-book (the joy of squidoo)

also stewart home of neoism fame called one of my videos "groovy"
he doesn't get along well with istvan kantor, my buddy...
great to hear from him tho'

well i'm shocked! i was reading an ebook about squidoo, one of my favorite places on the web, and i did a double take when i saw myself in the book. i thought for a moment that i was looking at my page not the book... holy crap! seth godin included my art damage page in his book as an example of what is possible with squidoo! the book is called the joy of squidoo if you want to search for it. it's a great intro to the squidoo world. this was a few hours ago and i'm still in shock...

other than that i'm busy uploading my work to various websites and making videos...
over 15,000 views of my videos at cbc exposure!

so things are good for the moment

i hope you're good too!

thanks

well i'm back in action. illness and weird circumstances had me on the run.

but i survived mostly intact

really getting into the internet these days, i like twitter and squidoo!

if you click on the title of this post you will be brought to the master list of all the art damage sites. there's quite a few, enough to keep the casual observer busy for a bit!

just came out with a new video: modest misfortune

it was refused for copyright infringement on one video site?! what the?
i wrote them back and assured them i'm the author and copyright holder... we'll see.

shout outs to my good friend todd up t-dot
and gary flannigan
who runs the nightwaves website -- devoted to all things 80's and synthetic, music wise. he manages to score great interviews with interesting players from all over. you might find him more articulate than I am. i just struggle through this.
anyway nightwaves!

well thanks for paying attention i'm going to get back to other things.

later

well i was just getting used to my titanium g4 and then i was all set to do a badly needed backup and WHAM

it dies

i think i have lost a lot of my videos a business plan and all sorts of things.

mostly i feel stupid for not backing up sooner.

so things are underway to get a working computer back

________

also i attended a showing of the high-school movie project i did a scene's soundtrack for. i was quite pleased to hear my music played on my local cinema's huge soundsystem! i made it go twinkle and boom and my relief was palatable.
cheers to maynard for letting me be involved!

in the meantime i'm experimenting a bit with new sounds and reading and listening to music as always. Hidden Forms' radio show has a lot of good industrial music archived on their site so i'm into that.

i also talked to brian damage by email and also cafe cryo who is ready to put out new music.

merritt the cat says meow
and i say see ya!
