The latest outlet of music creator Nick Gathany, the inventor of adventure-pop! also known for the music of Zyzzybalubah, Hourglass Effect, and the Hallucinogenic Mixtapes. With Coloringbook, Nick creates entirely new songs and soundscapes by mixing, splicing, and meshing together the small snippets of obscure songs and sounds by other artists. In the veign of sample-based music like Lemon Jelly and The Avalanches, here is Coloringbook!

upcoming releases:

  • infinite variations of black & white (lp)
  • the color of voice (ep)
  • counting colors (ep)
  • the colors of christmas (ep)
  • black & orange (ep)

  • I support a FUND THE ARTISTS movement. Your donations and album purchases go directly to me, bypassing any greedy corporations and companies that had nothing to do with the creation of the Coloringbook experience. These contributions then directly fund my time, equipment, instruments, and the creation of more and more music. I will continue to endlessly create music without limitation, as long as I can support the cause and my creations. Your help and support mean so much to me, and continues the creation of the art you love!!

    eject.eject.eject.
    the set form of conscious,
    its an illusion u know.
    there is no real threat.no evil.
    we do it to our- selves.
    fake glory with no reality.
    slaves to the illusion that hides ar truest capabilities.. .

    from higher spires to the rounded ground, and flying all the while over all via metallic wings is you, though you may perhaps just be locked into a chair whilst these sensations are plugged into your head, and Michael Palin peers through a fish eye lens at you, pretending to be your friend...
    that's when i get out my coloringbook and start doodling - a bit of sky, a bit of grass, a waxen riverbank flowing through the scenes
    awesome music, my friend
