Press Release by PinkOrange Records

BOOZYCANE is a brand new side project from Andrew Cane.

The first track is an instrumental called ‘It Happened Tomorrow’ and will be released on Bandcamp on December 17, 2021, where it can be downloaded as a HiRes file and will be available in standard bitrates on all streaming services worldwide in January 28 2022.

‘It Happened Tomorrow’ is a jazzy instrumental that floats from A to B without repetitive sections. A gentle electric guitar journey through changing keys, supported by Tom’Bo’ Ott on drums and subtly underpinned by atmospheric string sounds. A great addition to playlists with a chill factor.

Some may wonder why the release is in the Jazz genre, Boozycane comments:

“For a musician like me, who has played in the rock and punk scene most of his life, it’s kind of weird to release a song labelled jazz. But for ‘It Happened Tomorrow,’ there was no other choice close enough to what it is. It’s a 4/4 time signature and I used so-called jazz harmony, that’s it. The piece doesn’t follow the usual rules, like verse, chorus and so on, and it’s not exactly what I would call jazz and what most people probably wouldn’t associate it with. I would put it under the main genre of guitar music. It’s a little guitar journey.”

“To cut to the chase, some time ago I started thinking about releasing music, whatever style or genre. Since I’m originally a guitarist, I wanted to go back to my roots and focus solely on composing the music instead of also writing lyrics and singing.
I wanted to take a simple, casual approach to this piece of music and let it go in any direction it wants.

The idea for ‘It Happened Tomorrow’ came to Boozycane when he was on vacation in Ibiza and was written on a cheap acoustic guitar lent to him by his landlord. At first he was going to release it as a guitar-only unplugged version, but then he ran into an old friend and band member who was a drummer in a previous band of his. TomBo was happy to take over the drums for the instrumental, which was not as easy as it would have been under normal circumstances. The guitar was recorded by Boozycane in his studio, with the click only serving as a vague guideline, not as strict as most productions these days where everything is quantized to death. So TomBo really had to adapt.

As Boozycane said, “In this project I don’t want to limit myself to one genre. I have too many different ideas parked unused on my hard drives to limit myself to stereotypical thinking. Life is too short to waste it with restrictions on genres. And I have no superstar hero ambitions with this project.”

Rain Down the Drain

Rain Down the Drain Front Cover

Andrew Cane has released his brand new single ‘RAIN DOWN THE DRAIN‘.
With this new release Andrew Cane returned to his guitar driven sound he is normally associated with. The new music arrives 4 months after his single ‘All I Wanted is to Have Sex with You’ where all music was programmed and not even one single guitar tone was featured at all.

‘RAIN DOWN THE DRAIN‘ is back to playing real string instruments and with real drumming. No keyboards or programming is involved. Even parts that sounds that like strings, are played by E-Bow guitar and and put through the mangle with plugins to alter the sound. In principle, the opposite approach was taken here, as is usually the case when music producers try to simulate real guitar sounds with plugins.

The theme of ‘RAIN DOWN THE DRAIN’ is the up and down of a musician who is overrun by sudden success and goes off the rails. Drugs and false friends make him lonely in the glittering world of rock business and he eventually sets out to leave all that behind. The classic story of a winner who becomes a loser and tries to find himself again. ‘RAIN DOWN THE DRAIN’ combines yearning mood and interesting chord changes with guitar sounds, without falling into the cliché of a classic rock ballad.

Asked what Andrew misses about his production:
” Budget, budget, budget … I would like to make a video where the starring role of the young musician is played by the long-haired Jason Butler from his time in “The Shannara Chronicles” and the used-up musician is performed by a long-haired Jonny Depp from the present time. For the women around him, I could imagine three gals from the series ‘TWO BROKE GIRLS’. Kat Dennings as a rival to Beth Behrs, who is his girlfriend at the time of his rise and then when everything goes down the drain, is portrayed by Jennifer Coolidge. But Hollywood didn’t answer yet, he added wit a smile in his face.”

While Andrew is dreaming about budget and wonderful actors and actresses a lyric video will be released alongside.
But dreams can come true -or can go down the drain.
Let’s wait and see and let’s keep thumbs up!

iMovie Export Error

You probably saw one or both of the following messages when trying to export a movie from iMovie:
com.apple.Compressor.CompressorKit.ErrorDomain Error -1
imovie compressor kit error

After 3 days of trying to get iMovie to export movies again and many users on the internet reporting this problem, I found the only working solution. There are many possibilities on the Internet, all of which I have tested and none of which has brought the desired result.

Since I keep a record of updates on my computer, I was able to go through all the possible causes one by one and compare them to a hard disk that had no system or application updates before a certain point in time and iMovie was working as usual.

To cut a long story short – I had backed up my iPhone to the affected system, which I never did on the other disk.
The update from iTunes changed the following file:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.Framework

Picture 1 This is the file you need

Pcture 2 Replace this file

All you have to do is copy version 1 to your computer.

End of story – everything should work as before.

If you don’t have a backup at hand, you can download the file here:

P.S.
The system I’m talking about here is macOs High Sierra 10.13.6.

Andrew Cane has released his brand new single ‘All I Wanted Is to Have Sex with You’

The new launch is a testament to his ever-evolving genuine sound. The new recording arrives after the release of the single ‘Lies’ on September 30, 2020.

Most listeners probably associate Andrew Cane with guitars and rock drums. Not so with “All I Wanted Is to Have Sex with You”, here he breaks his previous line in music.
In fact, not a single guitar appears in this tune and so do not rock drums.
The song is not performed vocally, but to emphasize the atmosphere, whispered.
A whisper with the fictional love on the other end of the digital connection.
The LoFi piano sound, the atmospheric vinyl crackle and analog noise , convey the mood of a lonely night in front of the computer.
As a genre, Andrew describes the track as whisper rap or whisper pop.

It describes the fictional situation of a pair of lovers who are spatially separated by the Corona Pandemic and can only communicate via the computer.
The song title clearly states what is missing for many of those who live alone and have no opportunities to meet the opposite sex.

Andrew explains, “At times like this, many people are realizing that physical closeness cannot be replaced by digital applications like Zoom over a long period. I don’t want to mention warm hearted feelings. You can easily become alienated in the long run.
Until now, probably only sailors, soldiers or prisoners knew this feelings, to this extent.
‘All I Wanted Is to Have Sex with You’ is the shortest song I‘ve ever recorded as I see it like a snapshot with a Polaroid camera.
In light of this pandemic, I hope it stays a snapshot of history.”
