Kirstie came all the way from L.A. to Chicago to make this song. Wil helped a little.
FUNtiers!
It was weird recording these vocals in front of an open window, and having my next door neighbor out on his patio, "reading."
Just My Luck.
Adrian was excited to write a song for the frontiers topic but was not sure what to write about. He asked Gisella to write a short story about a drunk in a bar that gets himself into trouble. He adapted that story into this song. He then asked Gunnar if he would be so kind as to write and record a bass part, as well as to play the part of the barkeep. He did both exceptionally well. He even took it a step further and added banjo and some "tending" sound effects. Adrian recorded his vocals, shot glass, Honky Tonk MIDI, stomps and shuffles in ProTools. Thanks guys for helping!
Last Shot
The frontiers of technology have brought us many good things. As it turns out this song isn't one of them. Enjoy listening to the fruits of technology!
Technology Made This Song
Also! Check out this song's official music video on the brand spanking new Brandy Brothers' YouTube Channel – http://www.youtube.com/user/BrandyBrothers – It still needs some sprucing up.

What is a platinum animal? Informed opinions differ.
Platinum Animal
I didn't have as much time as I wanted to bring other people in for this song. I think it turned out fine though. The great part about this format is it allows you to write songs that you can hold onto and visit later.
It was tracked with a microphone placed pretty far way from myself.
Song for the Tiny
It's really just a lot of words.
Carrie Shemanski's Anthem
Recorded and mixed by SteveZaric and AdrianA in GarageBand.

There's Nothing Scientific About Our Method
Song created with old Boss drum pad and Yamaha S08 synth on Pro Tools. Song and sound by Rhodrick & Robin. (LittleBrassBird.com)
Laboratory Waiting Room
Carl Linnaeus is possibly the worst wingman ever, but he sure did hit the nail on the head with that whole nested hierarchies thing.
Recorded mostly in Logic, with some Pro Tools.
Now Linnaeus Down
This song was tracked in my carnival studio using some of the instruments I have available. The weird robotic squawking was was performed live and the tone was performed as well through an old analog piece of equipment that I have. This song was recorded and mixed on the program Pro Tracks Plus over the course of a week.
I would like to thank Adrian Anguiano, William Cox, and Lisa Larson for lending me their, "No's."
I would also like to give a special thanks to Lisa Larson for the superb reading she provided.
All the People Scream No
recorded with a usb mic into audacity.
written and recorded by steph cook.
Modern Science is a Lie
Sporting his best mad scientist voice Adrian recorded the MIDI and vocals using ProTools, everything else was composed in Logic. I'd like to thank the robots for joining me in joyful chorus and Gunnar Jebsen for contributing the sick lick that was chocolaty thick…the bass. Also, Mr. Bandboxbuster was kind enough to contribute backup vocals, "Science!"s, Screaming and Laughter. William Cox also put on his mad scientist hat and offered his maniacal bellowing of "Science!"s. Thanks everybody!
Scientific Method to My Madness
Recorded with Audacity by KJ Johnson (kjjohnson.bandcamp.com)
This is what happens when you employ one of the most common progressions ever to write an ode to "chemical reactions"…
Chemistry
Recorded by William L. Cox with KJ Johnson using the internet, Pro Tools, Logic, and plain old Windows Audio Recorder.
Kim: "All the cool parts were written by Wil Cox. Then he shared them with KJ Johnson who wrote the lyrics and vocal melody line. This is, undoubtedly, the greatest love song ever written. Ever."
Wil: "…Kim… kinda creeps me out sometimes, a little. You know? Listen, don't tell her I said anything, okay?"
Kill You in Your Sleep
By Wil! I did this whole thing in Logic in the back room in my apartment. Logic is neat.
I called my old friend Tim up and asked him what the most horrible thing he could think of was. He said something to the effect of "Imagine you're the last person alive, all organic matter is dead, except your children are also alive. They're going to starve to death anyway. Would you eat them to stay alive?"
Do it for the Children
This song features a chorus of Adrian Anguianos. Some Gisella Faggis can be heard in there too! The keyboard part was recorded via MIDI in ProTools but everything else was finished in Logic. The guitar and bass I plugged directly into my computer via my Ozone. The voices I recorded using the internal microphone on my mac.

You and I
Okay, so this is an odd one. Within the vein of Prairie Home Companion, Gisella and Adrian present to you a story of brothers. "Lyrics" written by Gisella and Adrian, with a story written by Gisella and sound design/recording by Adrian, and Gisella as accordion player extraordinaire. Enjoy!
Brothers
This song is about the movie Devil's Backbone. Which is a movie about ghosts. It was created using ProTools, but used some voicing from Logic for the MIDI parts. Using modern science Adrian and Wil were able to transfer files over the internet back in forth in order to create the full ensemble that is this song. That's Adrian with the synth strings, piano and lead vocals. That's Wil multitasking with the electric guitar, acoustic guitar and backup vocals. Now that's multitasking! Thanks Wil for your help and support!
