   About the yak himself
once you go yak, you never go back. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too! only if you feel like it though....

Click here to engage in a confused struggle with The Man

making tunes, usually in a "slap-dash" manner, in my room using instruments played with various levels of competency and the computer - i really enjoy it. i'm also enjoying figuring out a way to play live at the moment. hopefully you'll be able to see me bringing down the mood of a venue near you soon!

also, i play in some bands -
Breakable Things from the Bookshelf with Miles and John K
Well Meaning Shells with Salamangoat and often Jake and Miles too.
furthermore, i love a bit of jazzz.

to hear all this and some moar of the stuff that my friends and i get up to, simply click UPon the wholesale meat icon above - you'll enjoy it!

Lovin the concept album man, it is quite moving as they say about powerpoints (but seriously!). Amazing piano.
Very soundtrack eh! Also care to contact hayzo if you're interested?

The new one is a treat! Your voice sounds so shoegaze! Oregarnish is so unbelievably 60s I love it.

Man the new one is fucking amazing!!! Is that some spectral shit going on there? It's like avantegarde in a nutshell. Fusing jazz, concrete and shoegaze. This is the future man. We have to work out a way to do electronic collaborations.

Also can we play the curish one in shells?

Hey, totally spaced this page...as far as rocking Candysound just released and LP or sorts, and it's more indie rock oriented.

How about you? How is the music treating you?

Hahaha that's a treat dudy!!! Careful or you'll put some new post-punk inspired bands out of business when people realise their synth strings are not as authentic as yours. Man you fully pulled the post-punk lead guitar style too - it's AWESOME!

Wanna have a shells sess sometime??

Hahahaha Dinosaur is awesome! It took me till the second listen to notice there was some Dinosaur-related shouting in the second section! I do hope a chode was used in the making of this treat!

See you soon dudy!!!

I haven't listened to the new one properly yet but it's great! I got to a trumpet bit which SUPplemented the rest of the song making it awesome! Is that all overdubbed guitar on the sides there? It sounds familiar but I don't know from where. It's like your zelda thing. Very art rock.

why hello there

it has indeed been a long time.
ive basically just been uni-ing and eating pocky lol (cheers bud)...got a fair few gay assignments to do...so, havent had much free time lately. how about you sir?
we should definitely catch up for a chill sometime...perhaps we could meet at sj's or something some time during the week if our timetables permit. otherwise a groove/chill is definitely in order some time soon...once some of these assignments have cleared a bit, i guess.

do as phil collins would do.

Mmmmm yeah that's strange. Yeah I reckon a bit of extreme compression could help. Are you using 128? Surely that should be fine. Maybe they just don't agree with us posting epic love ballads.

Have a great one!!

Man the new song is awesome I love it - I like the minimalist vibe with the heart of a yak. We should hell use minimalist influence in the shells but use indie rock instruments.

Have a great one!!
