moving studio hiatus

... 1231, the production space where this stuff has been made for the last year is moving, so last night's delivery will be our last until the weekend.

Unless I get everything boxed faster than thought.

I've been watching the mediafire stats; quite encouraging, thanks.

God Bless,

time to find (2010)



Time to find was first dropped back in September 10, 2008; but the file was lost thru all the file-freak nonsense, and, since it wasn't offered as a download; we thought it was lost for good (do you say we when you really mean I or me? I do as well. I guess we're really not alone...).

Here, for your enjoyment is role's take on this, a milestone of types for my music production development.

Perhaps the last cut from small group's third demo EP, the end is the beginning. This one resonates so much fratty soul, and you love that.

As 3443 before it, 1231 maybe shutting down its recording doors and moving to edgewood, we'll see.

This one's a bit tamer and songish than previous. Still lo-fi and lame as hell.

Just found the first stop it this stuff is awful post and I'm

a. amazed it took this long to get one.

b. encouraged that YOU took so long to react (any reaction can be viewed as positive in our apathetic society).

I am thankful for everything and the goal to bring you new interesting and memorable sounds is happening daily.


now to redo the board and fix the signal chain.

open arms scar is a project of @timmyburns and @85lives with the help of @jamsmooth; we're shooting at first for an appearance at Kirkwood Ballers Club on 1.28.10 but from there, bomb shelters and shiek dens are close considerations.

PS - this is not for the weak at heart, it's a abusively raw recording; straight from iPhone.

Gotta go to work, hit me up.

luunchyums



LOVE this so much, it's the first 85Lives/scarrzz same day drop!
This track was named by Trinity, affectionately, luunchyums

You can hear here around 00:42; at 1231, recordings are commonly taking place while the family is interacting; in fact the best ones are when the studio is open to family activities; meals and board games, the folding of laundry, nursing; it all mixes into the energy and purity of the best of role's sessions.

Download and comment as you will; DM or email me for live performances.
ok... we're up to 625 post; about 6 months to go (confirming all post work and such a new years project for you new vistors).

Didn't update get the blog shimmied before the end of 2009, but that's ok; valiant effort was made and I will have it sorted out asap. The kids are here this weekend; see you soon!
Hi. If this is your first time here, be sure to check out the Guide to 85 Lives... it'll help you navigate thru the content, of course you can just browse and click all day if you want to, that's fine.

If you wanna go straight to the hits, go to scarrzz.

If you want to book, collaborate, or simply communicate with any of the artist listed here, let us know, we're open to playing festivals and traveling to see you.
