I'M SORRY!!
To everyone out there who follows along month to month here with me!! August has been a bit crazy but here I am!!!
This month's song has been hanging out on my Computer for quite awhile now. It was going to be part of a little 3-4 song thing I was gonna do with the BNC dudes. But I don't think that is going to come together anytime soon - THUS - You get the jam RIGHT NOW!!
The big thing in Hip-Hop now-a-days is to do a mixtape and sample crazy things. This is my version of such a practice.
So with no more blabing I give you:
August This Month in Sound!!!

Hello everyone!!! I am dropping by to hit you with the newest edition of This Month In Sound!!
This is a very special month - I'm giving away something that people have been asking about for a few years now.
A few years ago a few fellas put out a record, we called it Movement 4:6. It got some good reviews - some super awesome people helped us put it together - and we had a hell of time performing and releasing it. In the aftermath - as people got to listen to it I started getting a lot of questions about it. "How did you get that organ sound on "It Came To Pass"? Where are those quotes from on "Persephone"? Where did the strings come from? Do you sample? What do you sample? Plus a laundry list more - Egypto thinks I should do a Track by Track breakdown of the album. If the response gets big enough, I just might have to. The largest response I got from this album was "All the music on there is CRAZY! I'd [...]

Welcome to May folks!! This month I'm giving away something BNC is already giving away. Why you ask? Well that is a great question. I answer:
1) We as Background Noise Crew are a young group of musicians and we need all the exposure we can possibly get.
2) While I contributed nothing to the project beatwise - I did record, mix, and master 85% of it.
3) While I didn't write any of the songs - I do believe I help the artist create and shape their songs when they are working with me.
With those above reasons I'm proud to give you May: This Month In Sound.
T.Q.D The Appetizer 2 EP

Welcome back!!
This is a very special This Month In Sound - It focus on one member of Background Noise Crew, T.Q.D.
T.Q.D stands for The Quiet Dude - which is actually a very unfitting name. Out of the whole Background Noise Crew he stands only second to myself for recorded/released material. So apparently he has plenty to say. I met T.Q.D early in my move to Minneapolis. We connected and began working on a few random songs that eventually made their way onto his debut album Not Yet. Shortly after releasing that album, we took at stab at a duo project - cleverly titled Green Sketch. The original Green Sketch sessions merited over 20 jams. Only 9 made it to our debut album So Long, For Now. The rest were broken down, beat up, re-invented and re-surfaced onto T.Q.D's second album Clench, Grit, Breathe.
I am proud to give you all the last of T.Q.D's lost songs -
