I thought I would be fun to show here just in case it actually turns into a song and becomes something I will use for this record. Posted by Mike Milosh at AM 3 comments:. Wednesday, September 16, Before Those Ghosts. I went back To Paris to shoot another little film with Fanny to another one of my songs from this record. I am still going to make a much more involved video from the footage I shot with her but I decided to edit together a little something in the meantime. Posted by Mike Milosh at PM 11 comments:.
Tuesday, September 1, U. Military listening station. I am always inspired by the environment around me when working on songs. I let it in, let it shape the way I approach creating the track, to the lyrics and content within the song.
But never have I had such and urge to really incorporate the buildings within a space into my music as much as I am feeling it here in Berlin. Yesterday I went with a little crew of friends and explored the abandoned U. It was amazing, it really inspired me, it ignited a ton of ideas in me, I have to go back and record myself singing in there.
Posted by Mike Milosh at AM 10 comments:. Monday, August 10, Fanny Dancing. I arrived in St Germain just outside of Paris a few days ago to film Fanny, a dancer whom I starting talking to a couple of months ago about doing a project together. She sent me some videos of her improvising to some of my songs, her movements were beautiful and completely matched the way I felt about music. I tried to keep her in mind and attempted to create a song that she could move to, something that suited her style.
I nervously showed her the song for the first time and I have been documenting her experience with the piece, filming everything from her hearing it, to her working out ideas to the piece alone and with her Choreographer Marc.
I am approaching this video the same way I approach making music, with no expectation. I am not trying to steer this piece in any particular direction. I am just filming her exploring what I have created while she explores ways to move to it with no real pre conceived notions of what this little film should be, other then, I want to make it beautiful.
Saturday, August 1, Bass line with Felber. We sat down for an hour, recorded direct through the "Great River", trying out different lines until we found what just felt right for the song. In the end I was really happy with what we came up with and I think he added something really nice, really subtle to the track.
Monday, July 6, Tools. I don't put money in clothes, or cars, or expensive things. I put it into tools. Tools that can help me realize artistic creations. I want to own these tools so that there are no barricades, nothing to hold me back from freeing an artistic idea that maybe looming in my mind. I want to create profound pieces of cinematic art with my most recent tool. A Canon 5d mark2.
Visual compositions that move the viewer and stir within an intense reaction. Pieces like this piece posted below, that took hours to achieve and many days of rehearsal but well worth the effort. My good friend Jai Johnson was also there filming as we went. The way we generally work is we just start tossing ideas out there and record them, Soon into the process the idea that I'll eventually use starts to show itself.
We then just start to bring it in, tailor it to the specific needs of the song. We spend hours working out these little ideas partly because we want to get that perfect part down, but mostly cause it's just a straight up fun way to spend a night, working out parts, in the studio, into the wee hours of the morning.
Posted by Mike Milosh at AM 7 comments:. Thursday, June 25, what have I been up to? Biking around, writing lyrics in the park and socializing I haven't felt like rushing this ep, ideas are coming to me by just relaxing, taking in the city and allowing it and the people within it to inspire me. I went to this pretty fun party last night under a bridge held by Speaker Bruiser and friends, summer is in full swing.
I think I am going to drive to Toronto tomorrow and record some more guitar parts for the song "Want to say more" with Paul and maybe even do some strings as well.
Posted by Mike Milosh at PM 3 comments:. Sunday, June 14, Practicing. So touring has always been a soft spot for me, it's been a little question as to what is an electronic musician to do in order to keep the performance compelling, authentic, challenging, musical and fun to perform. I decided to start touring here and there with Paul Pfisterer a couple of years ago and we have been experimenting with different methods of how to play these songs live ever since.
This is a little video of us practicing "Awful Game" as more of a folk song. Posted by Mike Milosh at PM 19 comments:. Sunday, April 26, Inspired. This Girl Jaymie hit me up on myspace whom I had never talked to before with a link to a little video she did to a song of mine I did for the ghostly swim compilation, adult swim. I clicked the link and watched, and as I sat there taking in what she had created this feeling of happiness started to pour through me.
It hit me, in this beautiful way, that I was able to make a song that motivated someone, somewhere out there, to put their energy into something creative, something fun. It felt perfect to know that I could inspire. I felt inspired, to try, to keep on.
Monday, April 20, Interview with Woofmedia. It's an interesting thing being interviewed about the work I have created. I can't help but feel I am being vain for the simple fact that I am talking about myself for an extended period of time.
At the same time, I want to be concise, transparent, articulate without pretense, and give a good interview. All self consciousness aside, I love the way in which it forces me to think about the music that I have created, be objective, it solidifies my own songs in my own mind. I guess it's kind of like defending a thesis for school without the worry of a grade.
Here is a link to an interview I did with woofmedia. We talked for about an hour and then they edited it down. It was a lot of fun to do and though I am too nervous to listen to the interview myself, I thought I would do a little post about it here.
Posted by Mike Milosh at AM 5 comments:. Sunday, April 5, New Release. I got some gigs in Europe and it seemed only natural that Paul come with me for these shows and play guitar live as well. We were hanging in London with some down time between shows and we just started roughly working on some songs together, we liked what was coming out so we made the decision to make a record.
We recorded the record at Pork Pie studios in Toronto over a period of a couple of months and just sort of took our time with it, let the songs unfold naturally. We have decided to self release the record under our own label name, "Deadly" and though it's not overly complicated, there are lots of little things that we have had to do concerning this release, hence why I have neglected this blog a little as of late.
The record is going to be officially available in about a month from now but we put up a myspace page for those interested in taking a listen to a couple of the cuts off the record. The record is called New Territory and it is a bit of a departure from my previous work in that all of the instruments are real.
I played all the piano parts and drums live, and paul played the guitar, bass and organ. We got this really amazing cellist to play the cello parts, Coenraad Bloemendal, and there are some guest performances by Serena Ryder, and Rhonda Stakich. RIFF-it good. Add Comment.
