Brainium Sounds Off
Brainium
Did Brainium Almost Get A Recording Contract???
Back in Brainium's early years, circa 1988, bands sent their music to record companies in an effort to secure a recording contract. Younger listeners may have no idea what that means. That's OK...we barely knew either. B...
Concert Review: The Warning in NYC
We saw The Warning last year in Chicago, this year in New York City at their only headline performance of the year. What did we think? Anyone who listens to this podcast knows we probably liked it! But listen to be sure ...
Cover Songs #3
Two more from Brainium's cover song history: another from Led Zeppelin and one from ... Elton John??
Let's Put on a Show!
Bands don't always just go on stage and play music. Depending on the venue and the band, there may be lights, smoke, video, choreography, and more. Maybe even a picnic table!
Learning to Play Instruments
Brainium is well-known (sort of) as one guy playing guitar and one playing keyboards. So how did we learn to play our instruments? And what other instruments can we play? And how fun is it? (Hint: very.)
Playing Drums in a Band
Brainium used drum machines for its sound. That's one way of having drums in a band. More common, especially when playing live, is having a live drummer. What's it like having or playing drums in a band? The Boys of Brai...
Cover Songs #2
Continuing our exploration of cover songs that Brainium performed back in their "playing out" days.
Pitch Correction
Technology has always been used in making music, some think not always for the better. Increasingly, pitch correction is being used by artists--even established ones--to "fix" their vocals to be spot-on when singing. It'...
Song Origins: Didn't I
It's time to explore the origins and development of another Brainium song. We're pretty sure this is our only "ballad" (or "power ballad"). Includes plenty of discussion of Thom's guitar solo!
Playing Guitar in a Band
We've talked about playing bass and playing keyboards in a band. Now it's time for guitar and that means...it's Thom Time!
Cover Songs #1
Pretty much all local bands starting out play "covers" ... songs written and performed by other (successful) bands. Primarily because that's what people usually want to hear (as opposed to original music). In this episod...
Rehearsing
Those great band performances you see live don't just happen. Before ever getting on that stage, bands will spend many hours (or in Brainium's case, a few minutes) rehearsing the songs they are going to perform. (And pro...
AI in Music?
AI (Artificial Intelligence) is being used for more and more tasks, not always for the best. What about music? Specifically, creating music. Does AI have a place in the creative process? You just know Brainium has some t...
Managing Personalities
Any time you have people working together, conflicts are bound to occur. These can be creative, technical, administrative, etc. But sometimes it's just a conflict of personalities. That can certainly happen in bands and ...
Lyrics!
Lyrics are the words to songs. Guys like Bach and Beethoven didn't use them, but more modern music almost always does. What do the boys of Brainium think about them?
Playing Keyboards in a Band
Playing keyboards is much different than playing piano. Except when the keyboards are playing just piano sounds, of course. Learn about the behind-the-scenes duties of the unsung (but possibly singing) keyboard player.
What to Wear On Stage
Costumes aren't a big thing for local bands, but you have to wear something! And what about successful bands that wear elaborate costumes? Let's Sound Off!
Picks (as used on a guitar)
Who would have thought we could do an entire episode on guitar picks? Brainium Sounds Off about these little tools that are so important to playing stringed instruments. (And keyboards???) Believe it or not, after we fin...
Song Origin: Bad Decisions
It's time to explore the origins of another Brainium classic, the song "Bad Decisions".
