I was part of a music website called the RPM Challenge, the the project was to write an entire album in the month of February. I managed to put together 10 tracks of original music but unfortunately I missed the deadline for the Challenge.

The important things is that I wrote the music. I have been working under the new stage name "SZMC" Pronounced Seismic.

Last night I was at a house party, and my wonderful girlfriend went to the computer that was playing music and went to my soundcloud account and hit play. Without much resistance the party smashed the dancefloor up and down to my beats.

It made me happy on the insides. Here is most of the new album, I am currently reworking a few tracks so this is not he entire album. Enjoy:

SZMC by Teodorant

Labels: electro

I've finally finished unpacking all of my things into my new apartment. It was a bitch to get this apartment but was completely worth it. I put up my latest "...Lets Fuck" posters for my wonderful electro solo project "...Lets Fuck"

Anyway, i'm going to sleep. I'll leave you with the best cover of Thriller of all time. ALL TIME.




Love,
Teo

I'm baking bread with my girlfriend. It's going to be delicious.

I'm trying to go for a very easy-to-dance-to British Hipster Rock with a touch of Tom Wait's raspy voice and a hint of Balkan rhythms. They're all at least catchy.

Track 1: Bernadine

Track 2: I'm a Bear (A Fucking Bear)

Track 3: Kendal<- I'm still writing lyrics for this.

Track 4: Baby's First Grave Dance


Track 5: Owl of a Man <- It's only one riff, so you don't need to listen to the entire track.

I'm posting my latest creation. It's a rough beginning, but I got my guitar working so obviously I wrote a song about me being a bear.

Enjoy: http://www.teodorant.com/tuesday.mp3


I'll post better recordings as they come out.

I wrote yesterday I was going to write or post something new everyday.

Not alot happened today, but I did write a new song. My friend Jessika wrote the lyrics a few years ago and I told her I would use them someday. Today was that day.

Flirtatious Young Redhead

Today I figured out how to use Auto-tune, so I can adjust my vocals to not sound like ish. Its a bit hard to understand what i'm saying. I'll learn to annunciate with more practice.

Here are the lyrics if you're actually curious.


I'll write another song tomorrow, and maybe draw something.

Hey internet. It's summer once again, and old habits have arisen. I am going to write here everyday, or at least post something new EVERYDAY. Except on weekends, no promises on Fridays either.

So, what's been taking up my time? Well for awhile I was seeing this girl, and she took some of my money and time. I was also finishing one of my last semesters at school. I worked my ass off though: I was put on the Dean's List. Which my parents wont stop raving about. I was just doing my work, which is what I love to do.

I landed an internship for the summer with a design firm in Rochester – Workin Man. One of their larger clients is Nickelodeon. I am their audio guy, I write music and make sound effects for their flash games. They have also been teaching my Flash, so that I would eventually be able to make games instead just the audio. My second passion to illustration has always been Music. It's a really great feeling to have my music used professionally. I have written music and made sound effects for about 10 games now. Nickeldeon takes their time posting them on their website, so I will post on here when the newer ones go up, but for now here is one.

In personal news, I was in a Car Accident yesterday. I do not have a license, so I ride my bike to and from work everyday. I was about half a mile away from my apartment, and a car tried to pass me on the left, and I turned into him and flew off my bike. I'm very lucky, my bike is fine and I only have minimal damage. I took some photos of the battle damage.

Nothing too serious, but I took the ride to the Hospital just in case it was worse then that. The accident happened on campus, I think Public Safety took some photos of me while I was bleeding out. There was a lot of blood. I'll see if I can get it from them at some point. Now, onto a lighter subject.

I hope everyone who reads this knows who ZeFrank is, but if you dont'... ZeFrank used to host "the Show" and would make a video about the news or anything for each day. He said it started as an exercise but grew into so much more. Well, I followed him on twitter, and he posted a song he did. And said that if anyone wanted to do a remix of his song to Direct Message him. And Message him I did.
So, here is the Original Song: http://www.zefrank.com/booboo.m4a

And here is my remix of his song. Enjoy: http://www.teodorant.com/I've Got A BooBoo (On 20My Heart).mp3

That's it for now. I'm going to keep writing music, and making drawings. I have an illustration in the works and I'll post my proofs and anything else I do thats awesome.

Cheers,
Teo

This trimester I am taking 18 credits, which is the maximum allowed at this college. So I'm slower at updating on here. But here is my latest piece, and It will be in my portfolio before the end of the week.

Woo! Got my first freelance job. Hurray money!

I'm redesigning the mascot for the website http://www.cashle.com I'll post up the stages as they come up.

Ive met up with my old band mates and we're performing at the open mic at the Daily Grind in troy. We're performing as the "Three Lame Magicians" again. This time, we practiced two times. Much better then our previous "anger freeform jazz" sessions.

I'll see if I can get a recording, either video or just audio.


Shoegaze is coming back, experimental music for the win. Although I think they're calling it "Post Rock" now. Damn kids.
Check out these bands:

• Russian Circles - http://www.myspace.com/russiancircles
• This Will Destroy You - http://www.myspace.com/thiswilldestroyyou
• Grails - http://www.myspace.com/grailsongs

I am currently enrolled in a course to finish up my spanish concentration. The course is called "Spanish Culture: Trauma in Latin America and Spain." We have given several presentations and have written several papers based around several Testimonios, or Latin American literature (mostly autobiographies) of people who lived through very traumatic times.

Well, the class is not important, what is important is this:

I just gave a presentation off my macbook, and before I could open my gorgeous photoshop created presentation my background showed up.
