Embedded below is Whaleboy and Lord Leo's new album 'Spoookadelic', which I just recently finished mixing and mastering. This CD is filled with goodies of many varieties, the most impressive of which are Madlib - style skits and dark, spacey beats with well written and executed lyrics. These guys are on their way up, I'm sure of it. Enjoy 'Spoookadelic':

DON'T MISS: The first show at my new place!

Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/183241235341125/

The Bellingham Theatre Guild is doing renovations for the first time since 1944! There are plans for a new entrance, an elevator, and a rework of the foundation. I have a lot of childhood memories of seeing shows here, and I know several people that have been involved with the Theatre Guild for a long time, so this is pretty exciting.

This is the last project that Luke did with me before he left for Indiana to study vocal performance. It was an honor to work with him over the years, and I'm sure he's off to do amazing things. My microphones did a weird thing here where one signal cuts out occasionally, leaving only the low end for a second or two which I don't fully understand. However, I'm going to post it anyways because this project is meaningful to me and I love it anyways. So, thanks for listening and enjoy!

Also, Sam Kunesh and I will be working on a video for this in the near future. Stay tuned!

Looking for something to do tonight? There's a pretty great lineup playing at the Make.Shift tonight; David Liebe Hart (an actor that starred in Tim and Eric), Sword of a Bad Speller (comedic hip-hop), and Guillotine Eyes. The gig is all ages, starts at 8:00 PM, and costs $10 at the door. Doesn't sound like one to miss, it should be a strange and humorous night.

Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1605532776377919/

Don't have the funds for the show? You can come down to the Honey Moon as well and enjoy the open mic for free! The sets start at 8:30 PM.

Welcome!

I apologize in advance for the length of this mission statement, but people don't understand this project unless I make its purpose explicitly clear.

My name is Adam Perkowski. I am an individual attempting to foster the development of a thriving community of artistic, motivated, and thoughtful people in Bellingham, Washington.

I started playing guitar when I was about 6, and released my first multitracked acoustic cover when I was 13. I've been making music since; lots of covers with miscellaneous originals here and there.

I started the To Pacify Maniacs project with a vision of an open collective for young artists. I wanted people to know that I was looking to work with everyone and anyone that was motivated to create indie / acoustic / electronica jams. I did a lot of solo tracks, and a handful of collabs with various vocalists. TPM was also a real band for a little bit, but we've recently gone in different directions.

I chose to use the band breakup as a way to reinvigorate this project - so here is my proposal.

I have a 10 year old Nikon D70 DSLR camera and a home studio with condenser microphones, 4 guitars (two regular, two bass - an acoustic and an electric of each), midi controllers, percussions, a keyboard, and a computer that runs Ableton 9.1, Cubase 5, and Photoshop CS3.

I want to do everything I can to help YOU create things and connect with other people that create things here in Bellingham. I do graphic design, photography, and audio production. I make Facebook pages and posters for events, and I promote local artists on the To Pacify Maniacs Facebook page and blogspot every day. If you want to see yourself in the feed, feel free to submit any and all art to me at adamperkowskimusic@gmail.com! Scans of paintings or drawings, photos, videos, songs, stories, or anything else you can think of! You can also email me or hit me up on Facebook for any collab - related inquiries.

There is also a To Pacify Maniacs Google Account which is only used for Google Drive as a resource for artists:

My hope is that this blog can be a place where Bellingham artists can go to find other artists to collaborate with in their town, and where Bellingham art lovers can go to see what kinds of amazing things their neighbors are creating. I want to see musicians discovering visual artists here to do their album arts, and videographers finding musicians who are willing to have one of their tracks in an edit. I'd like to have a community contributing samples, photos, video throwaways, and any miscellaneous digital scraps or masterpieces to the TPM Google Drive archive so that one day any of those files may find their way into another work.

Its a dream inspired by the amazing artists in our town, and it has been created for the benefit of the amazing artists in our town, people who love art, and the community as a whole.

I would love to hear from you - hit me up.
