“The music is intelligent, clever, emotive, humorous, introspective, and witty; independently produced, acoustic and electric guitar-based and/or piano-based singer/songwriter alternative/folk/rock.  Lyrically, the oft-tackled subjects include love and infatuation, or philosophy and related ranting; all with extended metaphors, incessant word-play; and sure to give your intellect a headache.”–Brian’s publicist, aka himself

The Latest From Brimaxian

The most recent music from Brian can be heard in the first 10 seconds of almost every episode of Game Sack, the video game review show on Youtube.  He’s the composer/arranger of the instrumental main theme song, as well as the “spooky” Halloween version.  Joe and Dave get their geek on, and we here at Worldbri Productions encourage your viewership.

Other Tidbits?

This is a Brimaxian arrangement for harp, etc., of a tune by the lovely Libbie Schrader.  It was used during Brian’s wedding ceremony.  But it’s just pretty enough, anyone may enjoy it.

The Official Albums

The ambition of this project (and the fact that I found a wonderful woman and married her) made a 2008 release unrealistic. New equipment was added to the studio, which eventually included a Macbook Pro and Cubase 6.

 

Buy Popular Demand (release date TBD)
The tenth  “official” album is currently in production.  Four songs are in the proverbial bag, one needs vocals, and the rest are written and in the recording process.  Here are two early rough-cuts:
Bandit

Disappear

The last album recorded with Voyetra Record Producer. New guitar: Eric Johnson Fender Stratocaster.

6) Inevitable Deterministic Love Song
7) Pleasant Intensity (My Audrey Dawn)
8) We Just Don’t Click
9) Light Sentence
10) Admiring Unknown

This could be considered a concept album, as all the songs are intentionally written first-person, and spoken to particular women. New guitar: Epiphone Casino

The Korg had really started being a focus, as most guitars and vocals were routed through its effects loop.

4) Dysfunctional
5) Except For You

1) Namesake Composition
2) Had
3) Fallacy
4) Indulge In Kind

First album to feature the Parker P-38 and its piezo pick-ups. Also, I managed to patch my first good lead-guitar sound out of my Crate 15W and Fender Princeton Chorus 25W amps.  These were almost all new songs, written specifically to be part of this album.

10) Countless Nights Alone
11) The Waitress: Reprise
12) Faded Dreams
13) [there is no track 13]
14) Fuck Me, Cheryl

Since SHW wasn’t selling particularly well, I rushed a new batch of songs to “print”, and it sold no better.  But I learned Voyetra Digital Orchestrator Plus a bit more and basic mixing techniques.

1) Therefore Fanfare
2) Unactualized Possible
3) Innocent Ignorance
4) The Depths of Your Embrace
5) My New Addiction (Jacki Sue)

11) [there is NO track 11]
12) [there is NO hidden track]

This was technically the second compilation of songs from my first batches of recordings, but the first attempt to group them into a cohesive order of LP length.  It sold moderately well on the now-defunct mp3.com

1) Just Friends
2) Creative Drought
3) The Girl On-Line (Carolyn)
