the Comet Pizza amateur basement pizza joint band 'Heavy Breathing' has a series of super good videos and songs on Youtube
WTF?
you can see their incredibly well produced music on youtube here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31rQiiqsv4A
A lot of people in the comments section are surprised at how good they are, everyone is flipping out about how good the video editing is, how expert it is.
What no one mentions is how just good the music is....this is not garage band production on the music especially.
In fact the biggest thing they all have missed is how slickly edited and produced the MUSIC ITSELF IS.
The whole thing is so slick , I suspect that the same people who created the video also did the production on the music.
Its got the same 'sampled' and repetitive feel as the video.
Everyone is focusing just on the video. This music is top grade, reminds me of whoever recorded PRince's stuff for him and Fine Young Cannibals.
isten carefully to just the audio intro to the above song. The real 'talent' here is the studio whiz who put together this elaborate song. Someone in the comments said it was too slick a vid, too professional, too expensive.
If anyone is highly paid, its the studio team behind this music. It sounds as if they took snippets and glossed it up into this technical marvel of synthetic music. THat is the work of a top professional studio.
the music is very slick , and combined with the slick video , it smacks of professionalism in fact it is the music which stands out most as expertly produced. this is some pizza joint basement band?
yes, the music is incredibly tight. not only is it technically perfect...its just the embodiment of the 'hipster cool' angle everyone in the comments section picked up ....but mistakenly attributed it to the video visuals alone.
when in fact.. this music is movie-studio-quality music.
This is the type of song which could be the theme song for a major movie , the intro song...it is very elaborate and tasteful....this is no amateur effort.
then there's this other Heavy Breathing song called 'I no Love' :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zo_euND7Acs
again, super-slick song 'I no luv', same expert production and editing.
Of the two songs, this one, U the ONe I Want, in my opinion is better, but both are definitely mainstream elite studio productions....cutting edge stuff really.
also note the elements of sadism, torture, even murder in the first video, this is the rarified world of military intel , espionage, prostitution, interrogation, torture, assassination. and since we know that intel runs the music industry, are they gradually 'bleeding in' these elements of their reality and making it our own? The ultra rich, ultra debauched, untouchable class dangling these things like prizes, like goodies, to potential recruit psychopaths?
Or just the usual game of keeping Mama Grizzly gnawing on the balls of Average Joe?
Sally Soccer Mom there too , for moral support.
My guess is that a Hollywood soundtrack team put both of those songs together. Part of the psy-op for sure. I think Pizzagate may be more limited hangout gradual desensitization going on. The public is incrementally introduced to the idea of 'yeah, those pizzagaters got away with it. Times are changing'' etc. Also see more of the intentional blurring of reality with fiction so that it gets progressively harder to distinguish what is real from what is not real.
Its got a bit of Elisa Lam mixed in with a bit of Franklin Coverup and throw in a handful of the funny Sandy Hook dancing cops and a bit of the Boston Marathon drill fakery , fake rocker superstardom and fake deaths, with the believable and unbelievable all mixed in together into one big disgusting mess.
The biggest giveaway to Pizzagate being a psy-op to make MEN look bad, could be the money the idiots threw at creating those music videos.
Is this the same Laurel Canyon psy-ops crew getting in on some of the CIA budget money?
the Heavy Breathing tracks have David Rivkin (AKA David Z) written all over them.
check out the Wiki, he's got the exact profile which I just laid out. Extensive connections to Prince, Fine Young Cannibals, and Hollywood film editing

David Z (music producer)
David Z (born David Rivkin) is an American music producer, engineer, mixer, and writer from Minneapolis, Minnesota who currently resides in Los Angeles, California.[1]
He is most well known for his long-standing work with Prince, but has also contributed to award winning albums by Etta James, Billy Idol, BoDeans, Buddy Guy and Neneh Cherry. He worked with Elisa Fiorillo in 1990 on her album I Am, which included the singles "On the Way Up" and "Oooh This I Need", and with Terri Nunn from Berlin on her 1991 album Moment of Truth. He also produced the US #1 single "She Drives Me Crazy" by Fine Young Cannibals (creating the song's signature snare drum sound[2]) and the a-ha album Memorial Beach. He was a member of Lipps Inc, with whom he had a US #1 and UK #2 hit with "Funkytown."[3]
Biography
The Z Family
David is eldest of three brothers each of whom work in media entertainment. His youngest brother Bobby Z. was the original drummer in Prince's band The Revolution whilst his middle brother Stephen E. Rivkin is notable for his work as a film editor, particularly as editor of the Pirates Of The Caribbean trilogy of films and Avatar.[4]
Early Work
After spending much of his teenage years in a variety of local rock'n'roll bands around Minneapolis, Z spent time between Minneapolis and Los Angeles throughout the early 1970s songwriting and engineering. His early work is perhaps most known over this period in his writing contributions for Gram Parsons' first solo LP GP, particularly the track 'How Much I've Lied', before going on to play a major role in establishing not only the Minneapolis sound but through his innovative use of drum machines, loops and samples much of production aesthetic now synonymous with music from the 1980s. Many collaborations of material were produced by David at Paisley Park throughout the late 1980s and 90's.
Prince
During the mid-1970s, David encountered Prince playing around the Minneapolis scene. The pair went on to record a set of demos with Z engineering which ultimately led to Prince signing a recording deal with Warner Bros. Records. Although much of the detail of Z's exact contributions to Prince's albums is lost in the myth surrounding Prince and his prolific writing and recording, it is clear that his input, recording technique and production are intertwined intrinsically into those recordings. His most well documented contributions to Prince's folio of work are his writing, production and engineering on 1986 hit "Kiss" - originally a song given to the band Mazarati by Prince for their debut album which Z was producing[5] - and his recording and engineering of Purple Rain.
Soundtrack Work
Z continues to work successfully in the field of film soundtracks and scoring. Aside from his early work with Prince on Purple Rain and Under The Cherry Moon, Z's work can be heard on the 1996 John Travolta film Michael directed by Nora Ephron, where he produced songs by Al Green and Kenny Wayne Shepherd. His songs with Tevin Campbell "Stand Out" and "I 2 I" are featured in Disney's film A Goofy Movie.

It's not that good, imho, and I've been producing music in my house for 20 years. Don't know about the videos, but an amateur could easily produce music of that quality with an off the shelf program and a couple grand in gear.

Sorry to ask again, but I'm gunning for an answer. What then would be the difference between what's involved in a 'Beyonce' (gross) level recording and what you are talking about?
rodental ago
Dozens of hours of post production with pro tools and half a million dollars of equipment? That said, there's nothing fundamentally different between pro recording and amateur, the pros just generally have a lot more time and money to tweak things, and better equipment, and employees to do the grunt work.
bopper ago
By this logic (amateurs can produce pro quality) then the pros are wasting a lot of time and money, money justified only by "extra tweaks" and "better equipment." Can these really make that much of a difference on the unknowing and unsuspecting general consuming public?
And why aren't I going to work by now?

The difference is amateurs have to muster up passion and use their limited time to produce their product, while professionals get paid to spend a lot of time working on things.
If you are some big time musician, and you want your music to be produced and released quickly, do you pay a lot of money to some guy who does this all day five days a week, or do you pay little money to hobbyist who can work on it on his free time when he's off work and when he feels like it?
It's not a matter of what the final product looks like. It's a matter of how reliably and quickly you want to get to that final product.

Bingo. I think you finally answered my question! Thanks so much. I knew there was something I was being dumb about :) And thanks for not getting irritated w/ me! (To me this is very much linked to pizzagate in regards to how much money is/was involved.)
I guess the deal is with a pro studio everything is set up and ready to go, a joint effort, so bigger bang for less buck (I guess relatively) etc. For example, I'm in graphic design and marketing. As a business do I want to hire an ad agency and get it knocked out (but still w/ quality) or use a freelancer and drag it out and take my chances. Thanks again.

Well, that's my opinion, you are free to disagree. That said, most albums below the 'famous' level are recorded in small private studios like mine, and they sound great. Also, go listen to 'ghosts' by NIN. That was done mostly on a laptop, and is way more complex than this psychsynth bullshit.
bopper ago
I'm not disagreeing, just trying to figure it out, was genuinely wanting some pro opinions.
I'm sure. Do you remember about Boston, how he produced those songs on their debut album? Then I'll leave you alone :)
rodental ago
Well, anyways, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. This doesn't sound like a particularly great to me after 20 years of recording and 30 of playing music, but that's admittedly my opinion.
bopper ago
None of my comments were disagreeing in any way. I was simply trying to get some expert advice. You might have taken these attempts as me being adversarial, that was not the case. Anyway, thanks for your thoughts.
