[audio] Continues live in Los Angeles, 30 January 2014

Continues live at Complex, Los Angeles, 30 January 2014.


You might know Dan from the legendary Californian scrapyard industrial junk punk band Babyland. Following the demise of Babyland, Dan went on to form Continues.

As one of the two people in Babyland, you'd expect that some of the sounds from Babyland would carry over to Continues. You wouldn't be totally wrong on that account. However, Continues takes a wholly more melodic approach to electronic music than Babyland, with a much heavier hand on the lush string synths and more tuneful melodies.

Dan obviously has a healthy love for the synthpop bands of the 80s and many of the post-punk and synth bands of the 80s and 90s and beyond, and he very much wears his love of those bands and those sounds on his sleeve in Continues.

[video] noisy show in Vienna- Assimilatah, Fall Into Dry Lungs, Hyperpiss



So I went to Vienna a couple weeks ago for my birthday. When I was packing my stuff for the week, I thought 'should I bring my recording stuff or not?' I didn't know of any shows in the week that I'd be there, and I'd asked my Viennese friends to keep an eye out for shows that week, but there was nothing on the radar.

But my audio recording setup is just a small audio recorder, my mic and mic cable, and some small adaptors. I had room in my carry-on for that, so I threw it all in there, just in case.

Good thing I did, because it turned out that a show materialized while I was there. Full-on noise show, and it was organized by a guy I knew, Wolfgang of Hirntrust Records in nearby Linz. In fact, he was playing that night, so I knew I wouldn't have any trouble recording the show.

Unfortunately I had only one camera with me. But that was good enough to get what I needed.

internet broadcast of my live recording of Bestial Mouths this weekend



Ok, I'm very excited about this.

I recorded Bestial Mouths last weekend in Los Angeles, and I'm super stoked that they've given me permission to broadcast/shoutcast it on my mixlr.com channel this coming Sunday.

http://mixlr.com/humorless-productions/ is my Mixlr page, and the time will be Sunday, 10 March at 4pm west coast time, which is 7pm east coast time, and I think midnight in London and 1am (Monday morning officially) in Berlin. As far as I know, it'll be a one-time-only broadcast and won't be available (download, stream or otherwise) once it's aired.

This is my first time using Mixlr, but I've done some tests and everything has worked just fine. 

Basically, it's a site where you can make a playlist (a la iTunes) of Soundcloud tracks and broadcast them to whomever wants to listen, and every broadcast has it's own IM/chat capabilities. So I'll just throw the recording in the playlist and let 'er rip.

You don't need to register an account with Mixlr to listen to the show, but you do if you want to join the chat room. Registration is free.

The audio is high quality, proper live album, not some crappy bootleg. If you're not familiar with any of my other live recordings (industrial, breakcore, idm, more…), jump over to mixcloud.com/humorlessproductions and check some out.

Bestial Mouths will be playing SXSW the following weekend, so hopefully this broadcast will add to the giant hype snowball that's been generating around them, and help push them through the Austin show and the release of their album and beyond.

I also grabbed a couple songs on video from this show, and have synced up my high quality audio to them. I may be able to convince the band to release them prior to the broadcast as a teaser, but we shall see.

Have I covered everything? I think so.

Please tune in, and spread the word. Thanks.

Brian. Humorless Productions.

Not Breathing live in Tucson, 2 Dec 2005

Not Breathing live at String Theory at Vaudeville Cabaret, Tucson, 2 Dec 2005.

Recorded, mixed and mastered by Brian Albers at Humorless Productions.

That intro dialog sample is actually the outro of the person who played before Not Breathing. I tried editing it out, but it sounded awkward if I cut it in half and threw in a nice, elegant fade into the NB performance. And it also sounded awkward when I cut out the whole thing and put in an abrupt fade in. So I just left the whole thing in. Deal with it.
