Bionika
Here's a fun little electronic project I've been working on. I've got around 70 songs and I'm looking for a vocalist now. Apologies in advance about the poor sound compression quality of myspace - I had to take songs that were around 80mb each and compress them to around 3mb each. Also, keep in mind the songs are far from finished.

***SUMMER WEEKLY TRIPLE HEADER***
Volume 2
Wow! Over 300 of you listened to last week's songs!
This week:
1. I WANT TO LIVE WHERE THE LAND BREATHES AND THE WATERS SING
An altered version of the remix I made for Erasure's "Breathe". It can't really be called a remix or a cover as it's not quite the same chord progression. Throbbing electro... very "big" sounding.
2. FLOWERS BLOSSOM IN YOUR WAKE
A bit more of an esoteric electronic number that turns pastoral, then new wave 80's, then orchestral/disco. A great song to march down the street with when you're in love.
3. YOU ARE THE FIRESTORM IN MY HEART
Probably one of the most unfinished songs. It's very frantic and goes in quickly, does the job, then gets out. The bass gives this a very darkwave disco feel.
Every Sunday for the next few weeks I will post a new batch of three demos and replace them with a new batch every seven days. Thanks for listening! I welcome your comments.

***SUMMER WEEKLY TRIPLE HEADER***
Volume 3 - HUMOUR(ish)
Last week 300 listens, this week over 500! Thank you. This (humour-ish) episode is more tongue-in-cheek and is the second last one.
This week:
1. CELINE DING DONG
A short, early 80's new wave sounding ditty. It actually sounded like the intro to some Canadian political television program 25 years ago (in my head).
2. ALEX VS. THE GOPHERS
This idea came to me when I was location scouting a field in Alberta last year and I started to run due to the monster mosquitos that started attacking us. Needless to say, my foot stepped into a gopher hole and I fell chest first into some cow excrement... all over my shirt. The sprained ankle and torn palm made me dislike gophers, when once I loved them, lol. Alex is my best friend (as pictured when clicking on the song). Alex lives in Vancouver now, but he grew up on a farm shooting gophers and riding ATV's. Alex is a farm boy. Alex is my very best friend of all time (and he has always hated gophers).
Anyways, a short techno-twang track.
3. PUBIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
This is just a simple, underwater-booming house-y track... most likely an album interlude. It was initially written to add a (very) background track to the opening of a music video's club scene.
Every Sunday for the next couple weeks I will post a new batch of three demos and replace them with a new batch every seven days. Thanks for listening! I welcome your comments.

This week:
"LITTLE CYBORG ON THE PRAIRIE"
A humble-yet-happy, lo-fi cover version of the famous television show theme.
"MOTOWN HAS FALLEN TO THE ROBOTS"
Hitchcock-esque, orchestral disco-noire.
"LOADED LANGUAGE"
Experimentation with beats, scratching, and hip-hop samples. Robot thug muzik.
Every Sunday, three new songs... thanks for listening and all the kind messages on myspace.

***SUMMER WEEKLY TRIPLE HEADER***
Volume 5
Thanks for listening again!
This week's episode includes what has been mentioned as Bionika's best song ever - "The Day The World Fell In Love".
This week:
1. THE DAY THE WORLD FELL IN LOVE
A pretty, pastoral song that builds from twiddling electro-bleeps to a victorious crescendo near the end. Perhaps the best of Bionika.
2. SKY IS AN ORACLE
I'm not sure what genre this one would belong in, defying any sort of description... outer-space-groove-lounge-electropop? This one yearns for vocals.
3. WHOOPING COIF
Don't let the beginning or middle fool you - this songs turns into a catchy little electropop ditty, then reverts back to a robotic experiment of mangled beats.

Volume 6
It's that wonderful time of the week again! I think we broke the record for amount of listens last week - thank you kindly.
This week:
1. MIND YOUR WATTAGE!
Low-fi, humble uber-pop. Sounds like a happy robot... that dies in the end.
2. SETTING THE STREETS ABLAZE TO SEE YOU
Bionika rocks out with stuttering guitar samples in this frantic trailer trash disco. The track builds to an almost ridiculous electro/Moroder orgasm towards the end.
3. AREAS OF OUR PANTIES
A star of the dancefloor. Experimenting with some female vocal samples and creative percussion patterns, this demo moves your ass.

I was out of town for a week, so I just updated the site with the favourite tracks out of the last 25. I'll continue to change the last song out of four often, but I have run out of "mainstream" songs and have plenty of really obscure, weird tracks that I may post up in entirety on a different site.
Thanks for listening! Check out these four.

Check it out yo! Time to peddle some fresh crap...
New remixes of my good friend Karen Lee Batten's song "One Day". Karen is a country/blues/jazz/pop singer and highly regarded as an up-and-comer in this country.
...I hope I don't bring her down.
Of course, you could be clever and check out the original track first on her profile page:
www.myspace.com/karenleebatten
Then of course here for the mixes, plus an instrumental:

Thanks for listening, and apologies in advance for the crappy sound quality due to myspaces requirement for smaller files (the full files sound surprisingly quite brilliant lol).
