Infomusication by MRDC MRDC : Infomusication.
Eclectic electro-garage with soulful singing.


5 Years had passed since an MRDC release. I had been working on and off on a new album idea for 3 years after a 2 year break. I was busy writing for Television as one of the songwriters for the hit show "Ghost Whisper" and felt I had returned to my roots that started me out with "Timecode" reusing ideas and tracks as I went along recording album #3. I wanted to call it "Living Rooms" and the idea was an album of songs you'd listen to in your living space. Much more groove orientated laid back kinda vibes. I also wanted to play more guitar this time.

As time went on we were past the middle of the "Bush Years" and I became fascinated by all the conspiracy theories and videos on You Tube. Living up North in Canada being on the outside looking in there was quite allot to get caught up in. It seemed as though the movie "Wag the Dog" was coming to life and I thought well if John Mayer's lyrics "And when you trust your television what you get is what you got, cause when they own the information, oh they can bend it all they want" are on the radio after all the political songs before "Waiting on the World to Change" maybe musicians can still use the power of music to tell the people what's really going on. So I came up with the Idea to call my project "Infomusication" that stands for information and education delivered by music.

The tone of the album changed and the idea for "Living Rooms" was kinda dropped although some of the tracks are still there. I used public domain recordings of JFK speeches because when I listened to what he was saying it amazed me that nothing has really changed since he spoke. Most of the snippets I used are from mixed speeches to reorganize the message into the song, but the things he was talking about are unchanged. As with my first 2 albums I write, play, record, program all the tracks. A true solo effort with more guitar, bigger bass & real drums mixed with all the things I had learned while dabbling in "Electronica" left me wondering "What the heck do I call this?" I never really felt that MRDC fit in any one genre before. I had said that my music was more like a sound painting on an electronic canvas. I never considered myself an Electronic or Electronica artist and neither did the purists. So I've come up with my own genre and I call it "Synthetic". To me this refers to music created independently with the use of a computer as the "Hub". It is created by someone that plays or programs all the instruments creating a Hybrid or "Synthetic" type of music that sounds as though it was made by a performing group of musicians and a producer using modern techniques to add to the sound. But its just one guy having fun. Hope you enjoy it and I invite anyone like me that makes music this way to join me and call their music "Synthetic too.
