About Me

I'm a hobbyist and a hack - a one-man studio band, making music out of vocals that i've doctored on the computer (beatboxing drums, humming bass, impersonating horns or guitars, etc) and strange instruments i find lying around (harmonicas, children's accordions, melodicas, discount calimbas, etc). I'm also lucky enough to have a number of talented friends willing to play along, having provided me with the occasional sample-based beat, live instrumentation, backing vocals, etc. The result is hiphop, but in a broad sense, bringing in bits of other genres here and there. Check me out on Soundclick too!
-N. G. Carrier.
The album is FINISHED and AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE ONLINE! BEHOLD!

This is 60 minutes of indie hiphop: no skits or filler, just the 25 best tracks of my formative years. It contains plenty of my peculiar blend of all-vocal music and geeky lyrics, live instrumentation, synthetic instrumentation, guest production and some guest vocals, including raps by the inimitable Jesse Dangerously. The CD itself contains lyrics and track commentary for each song in convenient .txt format, and the album art is glossy and pretty.
