Who in War - Ways in Waves Ways In Waves 2023-03-20 | Stream "Who In War" everywhere! https://linktr.ee/waysinwavesVisuals by @Polyphonic Music by Brian Raine with drums engineered by Quinn Cyrankiewicz and performed by Joel JeschkeWho In War is about someone developing a god-complex online. They begin to think that if they were in control, if they alone could decide what to do with the world, that it would be better. They begin to draw parallels between their own personal struggles and real wars that are currently being fought, and dissociate to the point of losing themselves in a fantasy. It can be easy to begin feeling this way, but there are dangers to this line of thinking. It often leads young men to violence, despair, and hatred. I wanted to explore these ideas to put them out in the open, to understand how and why this happens to people, thereby attempting to avoid such pitfalls myself. Noah aka Polyphonic made this video, and it was an honour to have someone with his skills bring this song to life with an incredible music video! My contribution was basically just giving him the green-screen footage and occasionally sending some notes his way, but he took this concept and ran with it and I couldn't be happier with the result!

Polyphonic Eurorack - NerdSeq Uptempo Song Ways In Waves 2022-07-06 | Patch notes below! Stream my album "Bloodless Arches" and "Aquarian" by Mallory Chipman & the Mystics (co-produced by me!) via these links:open.spotify.com/album/4wDWeoAz1x4vgF8SHIyt8jopen.spotify.com/album/3qeAPKe6Bxxvuj3Yq6Yjb5Or purchase either album here:waysinwaves.bandcamp.com/album/bloodless-archesmallorychipmanandthemystics.bandcamp.com/album/aquarianI've had the NerdSeq for over a year now and I absolutely love it! A band I'm in - Mallory Chipman & The Mystics, always does a "modular freakout" in our live shows, where I bring a new patch every show and we jam out to it. This usually features our drummer pretty heavily, but everyone joins in! This piece is a combination of sequences that were originally used in a live show for the Mystics, as well as two sequences that I came up with in a modular jam with my friend Murray Cameron Smith. I'm really happy with how it turned out! If you're curious to hear the *very* trippy modular freakout on the album, listen to track 7 "You Can't Edit An Asteroid" which flows very nicely into the final tune on the album. Patch notes:- NerdSeq into Doepfer Quad VCO into Quad VCA into X-Pan into Blades is the primary sound! Just got my hands on the x-pan and it is DELIGHTFUL. In the past, I've used post-processing to give patches some more exciting stereo image, but this negates the need for that!- Akemie's Castle remains a necessary tool for me, it's sharp contrast to the analogue oscialltors of the Doepfer Quad VCO is hugely useful to distinguish voices in my compositions/patches. I've begun to ustilize NerdSeq's internal LFOs and modulation sources a bit more. Here is can be heard as vibrato on Akemie's castle. Intellijel's Noise Tools is modulating Operator 3's waveform.- Rene MK2 is being used for subtle modulation, particularly for Atom (uElements) which is the percussive, hihat adjascent sound. You can see me changing up the pattern that Atom plays in real time with the C channel's Gates being changed with random finger swipes. - Plonk is playing the role of a guitar here, I get jealous of people with multiple of these things, it does so many jobs so well! I tried to use is as a bit of a counter-melody in the chorus of this piece.Thanks for watching!- Brian Raine

There is a lapel microphone under the mask which allows me to use the vocoder without having a dynamic mic obscuring my view or blocking my access to the modular. Oddly, speaking into the vocoder is generally what sounded best, so the acoustic sound in the room is absolutely awful spoken word.

Polyphonic Eurorack - NerdSeq First Composition Ways In Waves 2021-02-22 | Patch notes are below - this'll be multi-tracked and turned into a full Ways In Waves song, but I wanted to share this version because working within the NerdSeq is super inspiring and I like the way this performance turned out!Patch notes:- Tracks 1-4 on the NerdSeq are sending pitch CV to the Doepfer Quad VCO, and the Mod output of those NerdSeq tracks are sending envelopes to the Intellijel Quad VCA- Akemie's Castle is the melodic voice, it is modulated by Pamela's New Workout and the Mod Output of Track 5 of NerdSeq (also where pitch CV is from)- Track 6 of NerdSeq is just a double of the melody track, but being sent to Rainmaker's 1v/oct input for the Comb Filter- The Morphogene reel playing throughout this piece is a grand piano and was provided to me by my friend Murray Cameron Smith- Plonk is being both triggered and having its patch changed by Steppy. I did this by multing the trig outputs to Quadratt, assigning different pitch outputs to each of Steppy's channels. Intellijel detail this patching process in one of their Steppy videos!- A slewed random voltage from Noise Tools is modulating the gene size of Morphogene, and later on Pamela's New Workout modulates slide as well
Hold - Live At Home Ways In Waves 2020-11-28 | This song is about the fear of having kids. Specifically: the fear of passing on your flaws, fears, and insecurities to them. The idea of raising a new human in our current world is terrifying to me, and so I wrote the lyrics of this song from the perspective of a man who abandons his family after seeing his son's eyes for the first time. What he does is terrible and I'm not condoning his actions in any way here, but this was a useful filter that I could use to explore parts of myself that I wanted to improve upon or grow past. - Brian RaineBrian Raine - guitar, vocals, mixingGeoff Yinan Li - guitarEric Wildeman - guitarConnor Pylypa - bassJoel Joeske - drums

Allan Holdsworth - Devil Take The Hindmost Transcription Ways In Waves 2017-04-17 | Back in the first year of my Bachelor Degree at MacEwan (2011), one of my first assignments in Jim Head's guitar ensemble class was to transcribe a modal guitar solo. I chose Allan Holdsworth's solo on "Devil Take the Hindmost" off of Metal Fatigue. I was in WAY over my head but decided to push myself and see what I could do. It took me two weeks to transcribe this, meaning 14 days of constantly working on it. I stayed locked up in my dorm eating nothing but pizza pops and gatorade, and at the end of it my gums started bleeding... so I called my mother (who made a career for herself as a nurse in Yellowknife) and realized that I had brought scurvy back to modern civilization. I was so enthralled by this piece that nothing else really mattered. As idiotic as I was back then, I'm glad I went through that, I'm glad that was so inspired by what I heard that I had to write it down in ridiculous detail, and I'm glad that although he is no longer with us, Allan Holdsworth left an unforgettable impression upon me and countless other guitarists and musicians around the world.
String Quartet No. 1 - By Brian Raine (VSL solo strings 1 Demo) Ways In Waves 2016-11-27 | Non Sum Qualis EramThis was the first piece I used VSL solo strings on. It turned out pretty well, but I also learned enough while doing it to know that I can do better next time. However the piece is still represented well and I don't have the hours to make the samples perfect right now. Hopefully I can get this recorded for real some day!This piece was written while I was re-reading House of Leaves by Mark Z Danielewski. I was doing my master's at the time but felt like I may have been on the wrong path. Johnny Truant - the unreliable protagonist of the book - always resonated with me in this way. My first string quartet is meant to emulate his life's journey, and to give him the peaceful ending that I think he deserved.I studied counterpoint for a semester and tried incorporating some of those older techniques with newer harmony. The rest was written completely by ear.
Strandberg Boden 8 fingerstlye demo - Whenever Never Happens by Brian Raine Ways In Waves 2016-10-22 | If you like this, check out my band Ways In Waves: facebook.com/wiwband/?fref=tsWe'll be releasing some music in the next couple weeks so stay tuned :)Buy the song here: waysinwaves.bandcamp.com/track/whenever-never-happensTuning here from low to high is: F# Bb E A D G B EI've been sitting with this piece for over a year now and really contemplated never sharing it publicly. This is due in part to going through periods of not really liking it, but also because of how personal it is. Without going into too much detail, I wrote it around the time when my grandfather died and only performed it once (during my grad recital at MacEwan University). I wrote it in two parts, both of which can be explained by the title. The first is whenever "never" happens, expressing how it feels to have something seemingly impossible happen, or perhaps something that you never expected. The second part is "whenever" never happens, its about waiting for something to come your way but knowing that it never will. I hope you get something out of this, it feels good to put this one out into the world so that I never have to play it again.

Cat Gate Ways In Waves 2015-08-24 | While on the road to Ottawa I've had the time to go through some videos from throughout the year. I was lucky enough to go to Japan with some really great friends back in May, and this video is from a beautiful garden that we visited just outside of Tokyo. The stray cats were everywhere and congregated around this gate for some reason... Once I get settled into my new place I'll be working on more music videos :)
What Are You Thinking? - Brian Raine Solo Piano Piece Ways In Waves 2015-07-18 | This is my first piano piece that I wrote! It's in three movements: the first is frantic and angry, the second is sad, the third transitions from sad to hopeful. I used this as well as 355 as materials for masters dergree auditions and ended up getting accepted into a really great program at the University of Ottawa! so I'll be moving at the end of August, which is frightening... but exciting! Not sure if its a permanent move or not, only time will tell! Thanks for the love on this channel everyone, I finally have my own editing software so you can expect a lot more videos coming soon!

(he did the editing work, I just sat on pillows and told him what I wanted). And thanks to my bandmate Shaquille Headley for recording and producing this tune with me. I mixed and mastered this myself using Waves Gold plugins almost exclusively, those things are great...Techno babble: I recorded all of the guitar sounds on Shelter with my Strandberg Boden 8 string. I ran it through my Axe Fx II into my Mesa Boogie Mark V using the four cable method. I then recorded the vocoder solo with the Electro Harmonix Voice Box direct from the Axe Fx. Shaq and I just put my amp in his closet at home and it sounded great to us.Emotional babble: As with the previous songs that I've written for my project "Ways In Waves", Shelter got its name from the purpose it served in my life. For a while it was the only distraction I had from a lot of negative things that were going on. I'm really proud to share this piece with everyone, thanks for listening :)Feel free to follow on Facebook, Instagram... Vine... Whatever, I'm always doing lots of weird things! And send me an e-mail if you have any questions or want charts or anything!!
Inebriate - Ways In Waves (Strandberg Boden 8 demo) Ways In Waves 2014-06-12 | Credit to the lovely Tatiana Zagorac for her filming/editing skills!! This is my project Ways In Waves, we started a year or so ago when Shaquille Headley (drums) approached me and suggested we do something weird. I started writing some strange things and showed them to Shaq, and he liked them, so we decided to make this a thing. This tune is really focused on the information overload that my generation has grown up with and the confusion that comes with that. If I were to explain how I wrote Inebriate, I would say that I wrote a song, and then I got the song drunk. ...Yea.If you like what you hear give us a like on Facebook or follow me for news on all of my musical endeavours!!Ways In Waves:facebook.com/pages/Ways-In-Waves/502918159837882My facebook page:facebook.com/brian.raine.5
Strandberg Boden 8 string - Skylark cover by Runaway Holiday Ways In Waves 2014-03-15 | My good friend from music school Kate Blechinger and I do some duo gigs together under the name Runaway Holiday. Its a project thats great for trying out stripped down arrangments of tunes. We do pop, jazz, blues, folk, and everything in between. This arrangment was brought in by Kate, I hope you enjoy it :)This was filmed and edited by Tatiana Zagorac.For any curious guitarists, I'm running my muted Strandberg Boden 8 string directly through my Mesa Boogie Mark V.
Strandberg Boden 8 string - muted - guitar solo piece 355 Brian Raine Original Ways In Waves 2013-08-17 | **LISTEN WITH HEADPHONES** After seeing Lionel Loueke play with Herbie Hancock, I just had to check the guy out... I saw him playing with a piece of paper over the strings of a nylon string guitar to produce a really unique sound. He used it to emulate an African instrument, so I tried something similar on my Boden 8. If you look at the bridge you'll notice that I stuffed a tissue under the strings. This created a very unique sound, so I used it for this piece that I wrote recently. The piece itself got its original inspiration from the graphic novel "Y The Last Man". 355 was my favourite character from that series, so this is dedicated to her. In case anyone is wondering, the signal chain is: Boden 8 - some sort of Fender practice amp that is at the music studio where I teach.

Analysis - Brian Raine Original Composition Ways In Waves 2013-06-08 | Last winter Shaquille Headley, a fellow music degree student, approached me and asked if I'd be interested in starting to make some weird music together... and this is the first result! We performed this during an in-school competition for the annual Rawlco Radio award, and this was the project's debut. Shaq won the award after playing a crazy set at the end of the night. I'm writing a bunch of new music for the two of us and hopefully we'll be able to start gigging soon. The camera didn't pickup much of the backing track which was played through Shaq's sample pad, so I added the backing track audio into the video.
Not Quite Right - Brian Raine original Ways In Waves 2013-03-25 | Dedicated to the memory of Josh HardyThis video was taken at the MacEwan Jazz Combo's spring concert in March 2013. Towards the end of this one, I use the vocoder built into my Axe-Fx II and Sean Bumstead plays his trombone through a BOSS ME-50. I wrote this tune for my friend Josh Hardy who died from a severe head injury last summer. The words are about how someone like me - an atheist - deals with death. I hope you get something out of it, and please: wear a helmet.I am playing my Strandberg Boden 8 in this video. The amazing musicians I am playing with are:Maddi Allen: vocals (http://www.youtube.com/user/madiallenmusic)Dan Sedmak: bassShawn Hwang: DrumsSean Bumstead: tromboneMatt Graham: trumpetTalesa Caufield: piano
Endeavor - T.R.A.M cover Ways In Waves 2012-12-23 | So I wasn't going to do anything crazy for this winter's repertoire jury, but Andrew Miller (on drums in this video) brought me this tune and I couldn't say no... we ended up sharing it for both of our juries. It was super fun to play, and... interesting... to transcribe. The band I'm playing with isConnor Newton - sax (going through BOSS ME-70)Andrew Miller - DrumsDerek Plunkie - MIDI guitarAlex Lakusta - BassBrian Raine (me) - 8 string guitar
Strandberg Boden 8 string guitar arrangement - Im a Fool To Want You (Frank Sinatra) Ways In Waves 2012-12-23 | LISTEN WITH HEADPHONES, its pretty quiet. This is the arrangement that I wrote of Frank Sinatra's "I'm A Fool To Want You". I'm playing my Strandberg Boden 8 which I received from the first production run that Strictly 7 Guitars built.
