Ep 36 ~ Thank You All ~ The Imperfectionists' Monthly PodcastHey, all good things come to an end, right? I like to think of the end of something as the first step in the beginning of a new thing. The Imperfectionist's Monthly Pocast has been an amazing audio journey for me. I entered this arena with very rudimentary audio engineering/editing skills and feel pretty empowered to take it to the next level now!! With this window opening, it gives me air to breathe and open the exchange up to new ideas, both musically and podcasterly, Special thanks go to YOU, intrepid TIMP follower! Thank you for joining me through the ups and downs. As I mention in this episode, I have so many more audio terms and interviews to do but i need a break from a monthly commitment for awhile. ?

The Imperfectionist dives straight into an Imperfect Dilemma in Episode 2 of The Imperfectionist Podcast; Contiguous or Non Contiguous? This episode is 5 minutes of dialogue followed by a feature of the 1 hr long album "Lullabies For Big Eyes" by The Kerplunks, remixed to be sightly more contiguous than the commercially released version. "Lullabies For Big Eyes" is the first full-length album Dinah D produced solo and it presented a dilemma. With the help of 4 producer friends; Rick Salt, Corwin Fox, Marc Atkinson and Ben Mink, the album accomplishes it's goal: mellow, calm, and soothing sleep induction :) ~ Themesong 2- Copyright Dinah D Music Performed By Dinah D ~ Piano Tweener Track - Copyright Dinah D Music Performed By Chad Geekie ~ Idea 11 Rough Track- Copyright Dinah D Music Performed By Chad Geekie ~ Idea 12 Rough Track- Copyright Dinah D Music Performed By Chad Geekie ~ Guitar Song E Lullaby Vibe- Copyright Dinah D Music Performed By Dinah D ~ Guitar Strummer C- Copyright Dinah D Music Performed By Dinah D ~ Lullabies For Big Eyes- Dinah D's rough GarageBand Contiguous Mix- FULL ALBUM Copyright Dinah D Music/The Kerplunks Children's Entertainers Lullabies for Big Eyes ALBUM LINER NOTES The Kerplunks are: Dinah D: vox (2, 4, 9, 11, 15, 20, 22), upright bass (2, 4, 9, 13, 15, 19, 22), banjo (4, 22), piano (9), ukulele (2, 15), celtic harp (1, 23), omnichord (11), cello (17, 18), glockenspiel (6, 8, 17), music box (8), chimes (2, 3), organ (3, 12, 20), marimba (8), accordion (14), percussion (8, 11), sfx (11), tenor guitar (19) ~ Jocelyn Hallett: vox (2, 6, 13, 15, 22), nord electro keyboard (6, 15), grand piano (13), guitar (22), trombone (4), french horn (4), autoharp (4) ~ Aaron Cadwaladr: vox (1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 15, 17, 22, 24), acoustic guitar (2, 4, 6, 15), electric guitar (12, 13, 17, 22) ~ Phil Wipper: drums (2, 6, 15), suitcase percussion(15) Guest Kerplunks: Chad Geekie: grand piano (3, 7, 14, 16, 18, 21, 23, 24), rhodes piano (1, 2, 5, 10, 12), ~ Corwin Fox: vox (11), organ (3, 12, 20), tenor guitar (11), banjo (8), guitar (8, 11), eBow (3, 7), sfx (4, 8, 10, 11, 16, 18, 21) marimba (8), mandolin (23) ~ Marc Atkinson: Mandolin (15, 19), Tenor Mandolin (19), Guitar (19) ~ Matt Carter: flute (13) ~ Doug Galbraith: kora (9, 10, 20) ~ Natalie Sponaugle: vox (9) ~ Amelia Thomas: vox (9) Produced by Dinah D (Desrochers) with help, advice and guidance from Rick Salt, Corwin Fox, Marc Atkinson, Ben Mink ~ All tracks recorded, edited, mixed and mastered by Rick Salt @ Mountainview Music Studios in Nanaimo ~ Except: tracks 4, 8, 11, 17, 22 recorded at the Hidden Well w/ Corwin Fox ~ tracks 6, 15, 19 recorded at The Barn Studio w/ Marc Atkinson ~ Some recordings and editing on all Scapes done at the Hidden Well.

Imperfectionist's first podcast Hello! I am Dinah D and welcome to the Imperfectionist Podcast. In this episode, I explain the reason for the title of the podcast and my connection, and usage of the word "Imperfectionist" in my life so far. Nothing is actually PERFECT, so why are we striving for this so-called perfection? Why is perfection something we value as a culture? Maybe we could look at the world from anther perspective, one which accepts and works with the inherent imperfection everywhere around us.... Join me for the Imperfectionist Podcast!
