Glass Apple Bonzai Videos

Well, now that the new Glass Apple Bonzai album is completed and we're working on album artwork I'm wondering what formats you're all interested in? CD? Cassette? VINYL?!? Let me know in the comments please!

Writing some old school industrial dance jams for a Razorback Hollow release. Still some loose ends with that project that need to be finished up and set out upon the world.

Day #2.5 with the Yamaha SS30 String Machine
Running my newly acquired Yamaha SS30 String Synth through some guitar pedals.

Day #2 with the Yamaha SS30 string machine now with 100% MORE FLANGER! Hooking this beauty up to my Boss BF-2 flanger conjures up some amazingly lush sounds. Verb and delay provided by the Digitech TSR-24. #synthesizer #synth #yamaha #keyboard #stringmachine #sintagesynth Yamaha Music USA Vintage synthesizers

Playing my newly acquired Yamaha SS30 string synth for the first time. What a beautiful machine. It will certainly find its way into all future GAB recordings. #yamaha #stringmachine #stringsynth #analoguesynth #analogsynth #vintagesynth

People say smoking is bad for you. And they're right. But what's life without a little badness? Boring. A pipe of tobacco is a nice treat from time to time. #pipesmoking

A nice time to enjoy a pipe on this stormy afternoon. Today I'm smoking a nice vanilla blend by Two Guys Smoke Shop in New Hampshire. Delicious. #pipesmoking #pipetobacco #pipesmoker #tobacco

You're a real sh*thead, you know that?
Working on some instrumentals tonight. Going for an On-U Sound/Adrian Sherwood/Tackhead vibe. Lots of delays.

Just a little sample library loading on this fine Saturday night!

I've been waiting for this moment for a long time. About to listen In the Dark on vinyl. I'm pretty damn proud right now

Steve and I are rehearsalizing for our upcoming shows in Hamilton, March 9th and Toronto, March 10th and we took a break to make a dumb video.

First day with the Z1
I borrowed a Korg Z1 Synthesizer from Larry for a bit to see if I want to buy it off him and so far I'm fairly impressed. I've no interest in the Physical Modelling attributes but once you learn to ignore all that bullsh*t it's really a quick and effective virtual analogue with a lot of live manipulation features. Anyone else out there a Z1 user?

What is the even?

HERESY!!

Name that tune!

Let Him Fight One of His Own Kind
I've been slowly but surely working on songs for a free release of instrumental songs sometime in 2017 and this is one that I started on about an hour ago. Also, if you read along the left-hand side you can see one of the many folders of movie samples I have collected over the years. Hah

I fixed my SD1 and I'm so happy I made a video about it

At one point Larry went into the house and I usurped his keyboard rig.

...and then things got funky

Starting to jam out on the ARTURIA Microbrute and Roland AIRA TR8 again. Getting some pretty mighty snare drum sounds.
