My mom doesn’t think that punk or hip-hop is where I should be heading. After all, I am a piano player.
But I’m thinking, the more genres I get into – the better.

In this track I’m using what essentially is the drums track from “Fight!”, an instrumental off the soundtrack of the new movie Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World. The score was produced by Nigel Godrich, the mastermind behind a lot of Radiohead’s sounds. This is not exactly a remix; more like a whole new song written on a bed of drums. Had to stay awake until morning to submit this in time before my flight to Mexico that same night.

VOTE for me so I win. You know you want to.

The making of this next track involves 5 different artists. The original beat, called ‘In Heat’, is a remix produced by Javelin of a track by HEALTH, off the remix album ‘Health: Disco 2′. This new version, ‘City In Heat’ includes me singing the chorus and playing a synth solo, and my friends Truezt and Special from the eTEAM spitting the verses.

Finally releasing my new piano album – Punching Keys E.P.
It is downloadable at www.everyonestalking.net for the price of your choice!
It was recorded a few months ago but the promo piano-smash video took some time to assemble.
Here it is –

Huge thanks to the guys at Crooked Seas. Without their filming and production skills this wouldn’t have come together. (Or apart, in the piano’s case). The video was directed by Craig Leblanc. The graffiti for the piano was done by the artist KJ Summers after we found this old piano that needed to be taken out of an old community center. It needed a new home, but instead it was painted, and then smashed with a sledgehammer and dropped off a cliff. I figure – guitarists get to smash guitars all the time. Piano players need to have fun too.
After we dropped the piano – it actually landed upright, which gave us the opportunity to take some pictures for the album cover. Check it out –

Once again I’m taking a stab at remixing a track ‘piano-rock’ style.
This one is of ‘Fruits’ by the stoner-reggae band Slightly Stoopid.
If you dig it, vote!

Tomorrow I’ll be releasing my new album Punching Keys E.P. along with the promo ‘piano-smash’ video!

Did this one not too long ago.
It’s harder to remix when the original song feels complete already, and this one is such a huge sounding song.
So I didn’t want to break the flow too much; all the original vocals are still present.
What’s added are new drums, some fx, lots of piano and a synth-guitar solo.

Some unique images in this video for Rise.
Rise is the first track from my debut solo LP: You Are Only Here Once.

Hey peeps and tweeps!
So me and my band Everyone’s Talking decided to cover the new Drake single ‘Find Your Love’.
Added a few extra chords, some flangers, a piano solo, and a guitar solo – to make the song a bit more ‘rocky’.
The song actually took much longer than filming the video for it, but we did spend some time doing some photo-animation. Check it out.

And here’s a new remix that I made last night. Gotta catch up on my sleeping hours, but I managed to upload this baby 10 minutes before the deadline. The original track is by the Disco Biscuits – an AWESOME live band. And their last album actually makes them a decent album band too. They have their own music festival called Camp Bisco that happens every year not too far from New York. Been there twice, and I hope to go again this year. Highly recommended – www.campbisco.net But anyways, here’s the track. Vote for me

It’s over here!
Let me know what you think.

This one took 15 hours or so. I shortened it, and changed the structure of the song. Used some original samples, but mostly re-played the others and added new parts.
If you’re an STS9 fan, you’ll recognize another song in the middle of this one.
Would be nice to win this competition. These remix websites are just awesome. Acidplanet, and Indaba are both great hang-out places for musicians. Highly recommended.

TONS of thanks to Coldplay for featuring my piano video for ‘Lifelong’.

The result is featured at The Exhibition Room on Coldplay’s site, among many other talent-filled art pieces.

The track will soon be available on my new “Punching Keys E.P.”, for the lovely price of ‘Pay What You Want’ on www.everyonestalking.net

For now, you can also enjoy the album ‘Dragonflies‘ by my band Everyone’s Talking, also for any amount of dollars you want, even $0!

Working on a shitload of new music and videos at the moment. Stay tuned and tune-in stoned.
