Hello!

 I have added a new video from my Mohawk College days. This is a clip from our final project "Team Alpha Force." In this scene I play an evil conductor who has stolen a list of nominees for Media Fest Countdown (an award ceremony at Mohawk College...you would understand if you went there.) Team alpha force has just found my lair and are attempting to get retrieve the list! WATCH AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS!

Monday May 14th, 2009

Hello there. In the gift section you will notice some NEW goodies. I will explain what each of them are:

MSIP the ALBUM: This is one of the first cds I ever made by myself. I made it in a class called MSIP in 2006. The class was supposed to before homework...but I made an ALBUM instead. All the songs are short weird and made entirely with fruity loops 5.0 and acid pro. I had a shitty compute microphone that I used to whisper into during the class. It is definatly a bizarre one...but I figured you might get a kick out of it.

MEET BORT: A song I made a while ago about a friendly robot. There is not much else to say...just give the song a listen ahahahah

Tenth of Mike Smith: This is an EP containing 3 songs I remixed from the band TENTH OF MAY. They are DANCY. Enjoy them! More music from Tenth of May here: http://mayten.net

Wallpaper Pack: Explains itself. Contains 4: Monster Fever, Technobot, Meet Bort and Mike Smith in RED.

MIDI/ringtone pack: Contains MIDI versions of Mike Smith songs. If upload these to your phone they can be used as ringtones. Contains: A monster's gotta eat, Meet Bort, Monster fever, Roll out the bloody red carpet and Let's just dance and be happy.

That is all for now. New music is progressing NICELY.

Mike Smith
