Tune in for the Hapi Hour with EJ Gold on http://www.justin.tv/gorebaggtv/ where I’ll be using the Hapi and from time to time filming tutorials — can’t quite bring myself to use the term “instructible” or “instructable” — they’re wrongly constructed terms. Watch the ICW this morning for demos and more about the two shows…oh, did I not mention “Gorebagg’s Tags”??? It’s a show where I demo how to construct barbershop quartet “tags” and much, much more. Tune in to both shows every day. Follow me on twitter and facebook for the latest info on shows, because they’re at odd times until I can settle into a routine with them, if that’s even possible.

He’s really quite exceptional. I hope he monetizes the hell out of his efforts!

Here’s more to tantalize and whet the appetite for multitrack a capella vocals… Continue reading →

Here’s one of those things that was unusual enough to make me stop what I was doing, which was preparing for tonight’s concert with Hu Dost, and post this piece:

Here’s a followup if you’d like to hear more from Rendezvous! Barbershop Quartet:

Not bad, eh? They have plenty of singing power to go the distance; I predict that all these guys will hit the bigtime!
