Matches Umbrella

I'm doing more covers, under the name Matches Umbrella. First up, nine version of the same song.

3 tracks in The Primary Source

Check out this film "The Primary Source", a great film about the damming of the Río Marañón. While watching see if you can hear snippets of 3 of my tracks used in the film, all tracks from the album Malignant Cove.

Remix track for Fredo Viola

I created a remix of Fredo Viola's track "Supplicant's Song". It is release here along with a bunch of other aritst's amazing remixes.

In the words of Fredo:
"I'm releasing a group of excellent remixes of Supplicant's Song. You can listen or download here.
This single includes interpretations by AdcBicycle, Autistici (David Newman), dis, Geodes (Erik Schoster and Nate Zabriskie), I Am Your Autopilot (Ben Evans and Jasper Wilkinson), and last but not least, Thomas Phonic. There's also an alternate version of the song by yours truly and the single was mastered by John McCaig.
Just want to give a big thanks to the artists involved, who blew me away with their work. If you enjoy their remixes, check out more of their music!"

Album review

This reviewer doesn't like my "processed vocals", but it's still a great review. He was correct to note that it's not autotune (which I dislike) but rather vocoder.

Thanks Cerebral Rift, glad you like the album!

Netlabel release

Malignant Cove has been released on the fantastic netlabel Southern City's Lab along with 2 new videos:

adcBicycle 02

My previously unreleased album from 2010:

adcBicycle 02

Also, coming next week, my unreleased 2010 album.
I finished it, had it mastered, and then chickened out and had some great artists remix it instead of releasing. Maybe it's not bad after all.

New album coming, in early 2015!

In Store

Here's a trailer, featuring my music, for a very interesting looking series of documentary shorts:

12rec.net now has officially released 50 albums, and for their 50th they put together a complilation of brand new tracks from future and past 12rec artists.

12rec puts out albums where the tracks are all 100% free for download, but also makes beautiful cds which can be purchased for a small fee. Get a #50 compilation cd for only 6 euros including shipping.

The lead off track of the compilation is a brand new totally-unnecessarily-overly-dramatic track by yours truly.

gold

According to wikipedia, 10000 legal downloads in Canada is considered to be a gold selling record. And, coincidentally, my ep surpassed 10000 downloads on archive.org today, check it out!

I know technically, these downloads were free... not all downloaded in Canada... and many of the downloads were probably for tracks not the whole album... but i'm going to ignore these legal technicalites.

review - catching the waves

I love this review of my EP from the blog catching the waves.
Partly because they like my album... and partly because they use setences like this:
"adcBicycle are a wild-eyed bunch of rebels who by rights should be tearing up the dusty backroads of America or dashing through rain-drenched Budapest squares in search of the next after-gig party."
and this:
"sounds like the manic humming of a deformed manservant on his way to help in his master's laboratory."

Not quite dead

I've come up with an idea to bring my failure of an album back from the dead. I've asked some of my favourite artists to remix the tracks.

I was completely blown away by the response, I can't believe that such talented and creative artists have agreed to help me out. Each one is going to take on one of the 12 tracks, so as of now, here's the star-studded cast:

01 - hecanjog
02 - Autistici
03 - Ignatius
04 - Chimplogic
05 - The Oo-ray
06 - Umami
07 - The Amazing Rolo
08 - Unrecognizable Now
09 - Zanf
10 - All That Fall
11 - Albatrocity
12 - John Mccaig

Expect something by the end of December!
