VARN Industries Volume IX: Life Begins When Winter Ends
"This album was recorded in mid-2009. I had just survived my first Canadian winter and really felt invigorated by the warmer weather. There's no overall theme or concept behind this one, aside from just having fun and making the music I want to listen to. About halfway through recording the album, I got a new keyboard, which features quite prominently in the second half of the songs. I once again plundered my vast library of Beacon Meadows videos for more samples, featuring Batrick, Magitek and Skunky. The second track is the first collaboration with my friend Vagabondage, who I coincidently met through the same message board as Tvitkh. This song inspired us to record an album together, which became the Embryo Concepts album Arrive In K At Old Nav. As their titles imply, "Beat For Chego" and "Beat For Blue" are indeed hiphop instrumentals intended for my friends Chego and Bluesteeze respectively, although their vocals never ended up being recorded. I also wrote and recorded lyrics/vocals for three of the songs on this album, which are all based on actual events."
