Variant Ep Hi-Def Masters Collection

Included:

The Bundle contains every song from "Variant EP" in all digital formats AAC, ALAC, FLAC, AIFF, MP3, WAV. (All High Quality in there individual format.)

The Hi-Def 24 Bit Audio Wave Files is the one I would suggest listening to first as it is the exact replica of the song as if you were listening to it in my bedroom studio. I also included a *Bonus Track, "VHX" in this format.

I have included a folder of Hi-Def 24 Bit Audio Stems for every song on this album. There are treated and untreated versions of each audio stem. So you can listen & create your own remixes or create your own loops with every instrument on this album for every song.

Included is the Album Art in High Quality JPEG format.

Bonus Item 1: Early Unreleased Songwriting Recordings during the Variant Ep. Two vocal acoustic guitar songs "Skittles" & "Maybe" and a vocal piano song, "Past Life"

Bonus Item 2: Variant Ep PDF - "In Depth look Into the Album"

(In the fall of 2012 I was intending to release an iBook with the Variant Ep album it was going to include insider track by track creation on the process of my recording for the album. I was unsuccessful in putting this iBook in the iTunes Store because of certain parameters I did not meet and/or exceed which I don't quite understand. I went ahead and put a PDF together. Its not interactive like I intended but I think you can kind of see where this was going.)

About the album:

“Variant Ep is undoubtedly the most personal album I've made to date and consider it a musical chronicle into my life from this past year. The album is a puzzle of spatially placed lyrics that are deliberately bleak and hurtfully honest.”

Drugs, family, depression, love and friends all play a part in this disconcert of an album. The music and tone of each song are undoubtedly very dark and claustrophobic with structure, arrangement and design purposefully all one-dimensional. To me it is pure artistic bastardization & fulfillment in restraint and focus...that I've yet to achieve on any of my past albums and for that I am sorry.

Variant EP was recorded in a small house on the East Side of Austin, Tx in August & September of 2012.

It was Mixed in Brooklyn, NY in October of 2012 & Mastered in Waupun, WI in January of 2014.
