A long time ago, I had this showcase site that hosted my music. Then I started this blog, and got into the habit of posting my new songs and news about my music chronologically on sknoblog instead. But my music is all over the place. There’s mini Radio Vince at the top of every page,…

Surprise, Surprise
I was chatting with Harmsichord (who co-wrote the recent Remote Possibility tunes Coked Up in Kentucky and Vacancy) about his latest solo piece, Doby Coyote (warning: highly addictive bassline!), and the role of surprise in the context of enjoying music. Here’s what he wrote. Vincent, your blog entries about surprise reminded me of the book…
Charts
I apologize in advance for this self-congratulatory post. As you know by now, I’ve posted my songs on many sites, some of which offer statistics on the number of plays and/or downloads. On Dogmazic, a French free-music portal where I posted a few French songs, I reached a couple of symbolic milestones this week: over…
Fade Out
[kml_flashembed movie= »http://vincent.knobil.free.fr/media/tinyrv_35_breakup.swf » height= »178″ width= »150″ /] The final opus to my de facto « murka » album? See this post for the full story behind this piece. As usual, the song is available on Radio Vince, mini Radio Vince (at the top of this page), and tiny Radio Vince (at the top of this post).
Remote Possibility: Vacancy
Another year, another haunting Remote Possibility heartbreaker. Stop whatever it is you’re doing and listen to the six-handed, robotically passionate Vacancy.
David Byrne's Survival Strategies for Emerging Artists and Megastars
Wired has posted a great article by David Byrne (one of my absolute favorite artists): David Byrne’s Survival Strategies for Emerging Artists and Megastars. It’s a great overview of the changing landscape of the music industry, that also includes great insights on the nature of music as a social phenomenon (read the What is Music…
Remote Possibility: Give Someone You Love a Vegematic
Remote Possibility has posted their latest (master)piece, Give Someone You Love a Vegematic, in which they return to some of their more experimental roots. It seems that Icepac, the driving force behind the band, was nowhere to be found to comment on the song, as he usually does. Instead, we get a glimpse into the…
Sans titre, by Pierre Feytis
I’m pleased to point you to a short movie by Pierre Feytis, Sans titre, which happens to feature my Orange Boy song (in French, iffy sound). I’m delighted that my music keeps popping up in strange and unexpected places.
A Quick Lai
[kml_flashembed movie= »http://vincent.knobil.free.fr/media/tinyrv_34_quick_lai.swf » height= »178″ width= »150″ /] A while back, Pamela wrote a short poem, Under Her Dress, which I put to music. That song title is singlehandedly responsable for most of the visits to this blog. Well, Pamela recently wrote me some new lyrics, which I put to music again, and the result is A Quick…
Remote Possibility: Coked Up in Kentucky
The Remote Possibility saga continues. I’m thrilled to announce that their tumultuous lives have inspired another fantastic opus: Coked Up in Kentucky. Once again, Icepic, the band’s inspirational leader, goes to the trouble of documenting the bands’ unfortunate trials and tribulations. A short excerpt to whet your appetite: […] so they accepted an opening spot…
