TimPermanent is breaking the “rules”
by Bambi Weavil
Utilizing the latest technology to create, produce and record all of his own original material, TimPermanent is breaking the rules of recording, producing and distributing his music. TimPermanent is a one man band is making the best of what he’s got using his iMac, microphone and a midi-keyboard – performing Avant-Pop that has been compared to Bjork and Tool.
His debut recording, Record, has been released in an unconventional format – a USB Jump Drive. The tiny, stainless steel drive contains 2 music videos and 14 songs, all written, produced, performed and recorded by the artist himself.
The music is catchy, refreshing, raw and pop futuristic (think the lead singer of Maroon 5 meets Bjork meets Timbaland/JT), perfect for this bold release. “Beat, Bounce, Street” has some rock/hip hop, even a hint of salsa in the track with the sentiment being you should live for today instead of tomorrow so it won’t be wasted away. “Thanx B 2″ has a disco-hip hop sound showing gratitude for good and harsh lessons daily. “What Used to Be Me” is a catchy reflection of walking away from “how I used to flow.” I love the synthetics “What I Got”, and is good parallel of the album message: honor your flow and don’t waste your life away.
A more than solid album, I am looking forward to his next release! Pick up Record at his website, or if you feel technology inclined, get it on ITunes or CDBaby.
