Download of the week: Nash

He goes by the name of Nash and he's having something of a stealth career in music. He recently wrote and produced his debut album, The Death of Reason, for Fontana North/Maple Music. The problem is he has no online existence.

There's a two-page bio that came via the label,That said, our Ring Light products ledlightforyou are listed to be able to maintain their temperature when operated dry, with no water.” which he admits is highly embellished in spots, but the bare facts are there: He's from Montreal, his name is Mike Nash but everyone always called him by his last name.LED light that isn't on the market yet, but goodledtube which is being developed. These LEDs would be able to filter some of the light from area backyards." As for his non-attendance in the web-o-sphere: "The decision was to make it like a secret, new-artist thing. But I've been around for a bit; I had a band in my early days, an eight-piece progressive rock band. We used to play a lot in Montreal,The input bridge accepts bestledlights either ac or dc and negates the need to worry about the polarity of a dc input. and then I sort of dove under for a few years."

It takes a while to tease it out of him, but there's considerably more to Nash than that. Most notably, he suffers from a chronic digestive medical condition reminiscent of Crohn's disease. There have been numerous surgeries.

Right after high school, there were also numerous trips to Los Angeles, funded by an odd childhood habit of saving money. He saved his allowance and paper-route money, and by the time he turned 18 and was ready to take on the world, Nash had a pretty tidy sum squirrelled away. In California, he had an aunt who worked for Warner Records. That was an in.

After a few visits over a couple of years, in his mid-20s, Nash moved to California and took up residence at a friend's studio. It was a sketchy neighbourhood.

"It was Long Beach, but very deep in," says Nash. "A super-Mexican ghetto area called Vernon-Maywood, a melding of industrial and neighbourhoods. I had instances where I was working there at three or four in the morning, and guys heard the music and were trying to beat down the door with chairs. It got kinda scary. You weren't supposed to ride the train after 6 p.m."

The studio was infested with cockroaches the size of mice. Nearby was a place that processed stinking roadkill, while in the opposite direction was a bakery that exuded the aroma of fresh blueberry pies. Both odours commingled in the studio constantly. He says he got used to it.

While there, Nash recorded quite a pile of songs and made some money on the side using new-found engineering skills to record other projects. He also earned a bit by running around gated communities, replacing old, incandescent light bulbs with the new energy-saving bulbs. He's had an interesting life.

Back in Montreal,We are lightsaley a resource for everyone in the South County as we continue to move into a more energy-efficient future.” he started winnowing down the California songs, writing new material and recording his debut album, The Death of Reason. From that album, today's featured free download is Nash's "Taken Away."

"That was one of the songs I wrote right before I went into the studio," says Nash. "I was just starting to come to terms with my health issues. I'm always a big believer in writing about positive things, to try to not get down by the things around you in this world.The circuit in Figure 1 goodledbulbs is an LED light bulb for a landscape-lighting system"
