I’ve created a Leave Trace landing page at flavors.me. Flavors.me is basically a social network aggregator with tons of nice design options and customization, and a very usable free account. Pretty cool idea and excellent execution. I do hope they add in some raw html modules so I can build a more complete and specifically Leave Trace site, but until then I’ve created a few workarounds for the youtube and flickr modules that at least allow me to just show specific photos and videos.

Check out some Leave Trace action here.

I still need to update the Chillography site with the event info, but until then, head over to NWTekno or Facebook to get your Chillography 301 fix.

Only 2.5 weeks until we can properly chill in the sun!

Huzzah! It’s now even easier to keep on top of my Psilicon Dreams and other various mixes/downloads. The Splendid Beats Podcast is now live. Grab the feed from here, and automagically get my latest mixes as I post them. Ain’t technology grand?

If iTunes is your thing, you can subscribe/download the podcast from here.

I’ve set up a fan page for my musical activities on Facebook, so that those of you that would rather get your info there can now do so. I still do not have a personal account for interacting on FB, but this seems like a nice way to broadcast my updates to the FB universe.

Check me out at http://listn.to/LeaveTraceCrispy.

I have a new(ish) track to share with you all. It’s actually an update to an older track that was an unfortunate casualty from a computer system upgrade I did many moons ago. This last weekend I finally spent some time rebuilding and embellishing it in the ways that I had been meaning to since first working on it, and it is now in a shape that I am pretty happy with. It’s a bit outside of my normal realm of production, as it is a pretty much straight-house tune, but it still has the groove and atmosphere the I strive for and features some acoustic guitar work by James Whetzel.

I highly recommend that you download the track to listen to it in full quality. (Click on the down-arrow on the right side of the player to start the download.) The streaming-quality compression introduced artifacts in the bass line that are I am not happy with and don’t know how to fix.

Enjoy the tune and please comment if you dig it!

Leave Trace – Monday Mimosas (Twenty Ten Mix) by Leave Trace

Though I rarely use it these days, I decided it was finally time to do some graphical updating to ye olde myspace Leave Trace profile. Check it out at www.myspace.com/leavetrace and friend me if you are into such things!

Download :: Leave Trace & John Ames - Live at Kinetic 4 / Chillography 204

This set was recorded live in the in Chillography Downtempo Dinosaur room at Kinetic 4 at the Pacific Science Center in Seattle, WA on April 3, 2010. John and I performed under the short-lived name of “A Delicate Moment”, which was quickly killed for being at bit too precious of a name. Band names are hard! Beats and textures by me, Leave Trace, and cello by John Ames.

And here’s some video of the performance:

Please subscribe to the Splendid Beats Podcast and never miss another mix!
