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,

art

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.

i'm not sure how this will work but i'm diving in to the best of my ability

art damage is brought to you by the expensive association

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...
http://www.amazon.com/Predictably-Irrational-Hidden-Forces-Decisions/dp/006135323X/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1218518320&sr=8-1



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!

well i can't think of anything else to report

quick update

art damage is brought to you by the expensive association

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 good morning to all
art damage

art damage is brought to you by the expensive association

well here's a playlist of music i like...
you might enjoy it

oh my god!

art damage is brought to you by the expensive association


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!

http://exposure.cbc.ca/user/artdamage00

so things are good for the moment

i hope you're good too!

thanks
art damage

art damage

yep i'm back

art damage is brought to you by the expensive association


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

birth of a mac

art damage is brought to you by the expensive association


well it looks like i'm gonna get a new computer. looking forward to os10.5!

had a nice visit with my ex-

and i'm making new music!

i won't be able to make any videos until i get the new puter.


so life awaits...

death of a mac

art damage is brought to you by the expensive association

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!

i've been busy with improving some of my websites.
i'm more wired than ever!
figured out how to do a live show with just one laptop
and a midi percussion controller. if you don't know what that is
don't worry about it. it's just like a compact set of drum pads.

over on the right of this page you should see the nice
amazon.com widget of my music...

i can't tell you what it would mean if you would check it out.
don't take my word for it...
just go to
http://www.cdbaby.com/artdamage
to read what people have said.

i'd like to gain financial independence within my lifetime
so if you're into wierd eletronica then you should chek it out.
eclectronic is more like it.

well thanks to those who're paying attention to all this

i hope to post more frequently.
thanks
art damage

bloggeroooo

after a period of convanlecense i'm back into the computer world...

did a soundtrack (just one scene) for my local high-school's annual
movie... some of my best work yet! i was just glad to be involved

also i hit over 10,000 views at CBC exposure...

http://exposure.cbc.ca/user/artdamage00

if you want to see what the buzz is about!

i'm hoping to add new videos soon

thanks to all those paying attention!

art damage

wow blogging can be fun

bloggeroooo

here is a cool video (vaudio)

with music by the ever-present art damage

foiled by compression schemes,

Click here to watch 'CB-Electronic-House-Party'

there is talk of a live show here in Sydney nova scotia canada (canaba)

my second audio -CD release is scheduled for very soon,

i cut all the album covers myself.

one thing is for sure,
a home burned CD from the master recording actually sounds better than a manufactured CD as they have to go
through many steps to get to the final product. so when you buy an art damage CD, untlil further notice, it will sound amazing!
i'm not sure where i read that fact but it really made sense to me at the time.

well for now play safe and have fun

bloggeroooo

well here is a recent video:





so i played a benefit just djing inbetween bands. a nice time was had
and for a good cause.

last minute preparations are in place for the release of art damage's space magic album, an ambient album meant to be listened to in bed.

avoid using heavy machinery while driving under the influence of this album.

i'll post when they receive them and are put up for sale.
i'm also experimenting with new video and music

well enjoy
that's all i can do for now

2008 feb.

bloggeroooo

hi folks and happy new year. 2007 was an exciting time for art damage and related projects...
2008 could be the year i blow up real good!

i'm still listening to more music than i'm making, unusual for me but an education.

i have more soundtracks coming up
and also i've caught wind of a neat project that i might be doing the mixing and mastering for.

i've been offered a live gig if i want it and i think i've recovered from the last one so i just might do it!
i'd do an all-ages gig for sure. not so hot on the bar shows...

i'm no further ahead on my new album
but in the mean time i should be ready to release my space magic ambient album on CDBaby.com using the profits from sellling the two CD's.

my myspace page has new songs on it as they now allow 6 songs per profile!
check it out:
http://www.myspace.com/artdamage000

the song from my disabled controls cd that people went nuts for is KLAXPLANET 2.0.
you can hear the whole thing for free at myspace.

well i survived the holidaze and got some nice music-related books as well as a MIDI cable. thanks, satan!

play safe and have fun,
art damage
