INTRO:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On August 24, 2013, What.CD and The What.CD Online Store launched the first-ever TWOS Music Contest. Shortly after, a 
parallel cover art contest was launched. The premise of the project was simple: in-house artists (from What.CD's 
Vanity House) were invited to submit tracks to What.CD. Prior to submitting, the artists had to place their tracks 
under a Creative Commons CC BY or CC BY-ND license. Winning tracks would be included in a downloadable compilation 
sold to support What.CD.

Submissions were phenomenal, exceeding our expectations. After a tumultuous start to the year and multiple unfortunate 
delays, the results are in. We are now introducing 'This CD' - the official name of the compilation and compilation 
series - and we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as everyone enjoyed putting it together.

What.CD is incredibly proud to present this collaboration between Staff and the excellent Vanity House artists. 
Narrowing down a list of winners was no easy feat. We believe that the artists selected for inclusion in the first 
volume of 'This CD' represent a diversity of musical styles and approaches. The featured songs show artists working 
in different genres, at different stages of their respective careers, using different recording techniques, and 
together provide a fantastic window into what VH has to offer. While many other submissions were more than worthy of 
inclusion, and while any final decision is doomed to be at least somewhat arbitrary or subject to taste, the 26 
winners stood out to the voting panel, and we're very pleased with the final result.

Many thanks to all participating artists for generously submitting their work in support of What.CD, and a big round 
of congratulations to the winners. It is our hope that 'This CD' will become a longstanding tradition, and that 
'The First' - our inaugural volume - will pave the way for a long line of future releases awaiting our exploration.

The Artist Says:

"I was waiting for a friend. She told me she'd be one hour late. I grabbed my Strat, fired up Ableton and recorded 
three tracks. Everything in there is guitar-made and Ableton-shaped. I had the bassline in my head for several years 
and I played it on every guitar I had in my hand. The rest was spontaneous, from the recording to the editing. I 
mastered it for this What.CD release and I hope that one day it will be the intro track for my album and my gigs."

"I'm just a dude that's been makin' tunes in my bedroom since I got my hands on a computer. I like to cruise around 
this weird universe of sound, capturing and colliding different bits and textures together and then conducting 
experiments on the results. 

This particular song was an older memory, a tragedy growing up, that sent me on an introspective trip. Six years ago 
you left this Earth. Right after it happened, you helped me find love in solitude through music... you were closer 
to me during these times than we had ever been. In many ways, you gave me courage to make music. This one followed 
me over the months and years to follow as I kept you in my heart and mind. I won't forget what I have learned about 
others and myself because of you. See you around the block, neighbor."

Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/ace-windu 

The Artist Says:

"We are Robot:House, a three piece project from a small town in Ireland, comprised of school friends each with our 
own very distinct musical backgrounds (ranging from classically trained pianist to self-taught guitarist to hip-hop 
DJ and bassist). The music we make is an honest attempt at meshing our many influences into a cohesive whole, ready 
to stand on its own two feet.

With this track, the piano was the first thing laid down and remained the driving force of the music. After the piano 
was down we settled in for the night and completed the song in a single session, writing and recording, which is the 
process we go through for most of our songs. We don't like to give ourselves too long to think, in case we make the 
right decisions. The electronic hip-hop vibe was a departure for us and the piece was incredible fun to work on. We 
hope you find it interesting."

The Artist Says:

"SiJ is an Ukrainian industrial/dark ambient project consisting of two members: Vladislav Sikach and Alena Perepadya. 
SiJ was created by Vladislav Sikach in March 2011 in an attempt to develop unique sounds combined with various 
industrial features, mostly in a sombre, dark ambient way. For this reason, SiJ uses a great number of instruments 
including various guitars, drums and synthesizers, as well as handmade mechanical or electromechanical sound devices. 
Recently SiJ started to use field recordings taken from various places including urban streets and abandoned military 
or industrial facilities. Other tools for creating SiJ's soundscapes include VST-technologies, digital sound 
processing,and the CSound sound-synthesizing programming language. SiJ cooperates with many ambient, dark ambient, 
drone, industrial, and noise projects as well as with people who work only with field recordings. 

"'Path of Dancing Shadows' is taken from the album 'Daguérose' - http://sijmusic.bandcamp.com/album/dagu-rose - and 
is a work devoted to hidden, imaginary places. The listener must determine what this place is, and ask if the path 
to it leads to light or darkness."

Genre: Electronic, Post Rock, Cinematic, Metal
License: Creative Commons BY license (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/

Bandcamp: http://sleepmaps1.bandcamp.com/

What.CD: artist.php?id=709632

The Artist Says:

"Sleep Maps is a Brooklyn-based instrumental band. In 2012 they released their debut record 'Fiction Makes the 
Future' (available on What.CD) followed by the 'Medals' EP (also on What.CD). 'The Future West' is the first song 
released from the band's upcoming record, 'We Die For Truth'. While FMTF was thematically based around prognostication 
and man's inability to correctly predict what is in store, 'We Die For Truth' is grounded in ideas of oblivion, 
immortality and the question 'should we be allowed to live forever?' The music is more cinematic and lush while still 
incorporating elements of metal and heaviness to help drive the point home. Available in the summer of 2014."

Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/butchersblindmusic
Website: http://www.butchersblind.com

The Artist Says:

"Butchers Blind is a group of friends who have essentially been making music together for about 10 years now. We grew 
up in a suburb outside of New York City, influenced by our parents musical tastes. When we started making music 
together, we didnt have any real direction, just a sense of purpose and the immense fun we had learning and growing. 
When we heard bands like Wilco and The Jayhawks, we felt a strong connection to the alt-country songs that told of 
leaving your own small town and pursuing something great. We suddenly felt we had an identity and went on to make 2 
full length LPs, our newest being 'Destination Blues', which this song is from.

The song, 'Burn Up Bright', is abouttaking the 20 minute train ride into New York City, seeing bands and friends, 
getting way too drunk, and 'taking a chance', something we did many times. We had Russ Seeger play fiddle on the 
track and Brandi Hart sing some harmony vocals. It was a pleasure to record, and we hope you enjoy listening to it."

03. Troy Hutson - Floating Feather

Track Length: 2:36
Genre(s): Acoustic, Folk
License: Creative Commons BY license (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/

The Artist Says:

"I'm completely humbled, flattered, and overwhelmed to have made it this far in the selection process. Playing and 
recording have been such a gratifying endeavor to me over the years, and I wish to share my music with anyone who 
turn an ear to listen. I have been writing songs for a little over 14 years now (half of my life!) and I still find 
music to be the best outlet for my emotions. Living in the middle of the country there aren't a lot of opportunities 
to sell records, play shows, or find fans, but with What.CD I have been able to share my music with more people than 
I could have ever dreamed of. I hope that people enjoy the tune up for submission, and will look deeper into my 
catalog (as small as it may be) and find a track that lets them feel the same way that I did when I recorded it. 
Thank you to everyone who has given my music a chance. It means the world to me. 

This song was recorded by myself in my one man studio. I wrote the song in 2009. It was supposed to be part of an 
album but was never released."

Studio: http://www.mantrarecordingstudio.com/
Website: http://www.chriscarrollmusic.com

The Artist Says:

"Chris Carroll is a New York City-based drummer who has amassed a vast musical vocabulary. Stylistically, his 
drumming pulses with cross-cultural rhythms. With roots deep in rock music and a love for jazz & improvised music, 
Chris blends his curiosity for different cultures with an eye (and ear) towards the future. Chris has just released 
'Current Shifts', which is his second CD as a leader. This jazz-based project is driven by influences ranging from 
South American traditional music to music originating from Mid-Eastern cultures. 'Current Shifts' is a bold followup 
to Chris first album 'Facing Away', which features his own idiosyncratic arrangements of the music of a number of 
jazz icons, such as Ornette Coleman, Thelonious Monk, and Charles Mingus.

The track 'Vic's Shine' is a song written by guitar/luthier Victor Baker featuring Vic on guitar and Trifon Dimitrov 
on acoustic bass. The track was recorded and mixed by Chris at Mantra Recording Studio."

Genre(s): Garage Pop, Rock
License: Creative Commons BY license (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/

The Artist Says:

"I always picture this song in a spaghetti western setting, played with just a hint of melodrama. It sums up the

06. Kindofis - Vanadinite

Track Length: 4:36
Genre(s): Progressive Rock, Math Rock, Video Game Rock
License: Creative Commons BY license (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/

Bandcamp: http://kindofis.bandcamp.com/releases

The Artist Says:

"Kindofis formed in the fall of 2011. Originally just drums, guitar, and bass, we added keyboards in the spring of 
2012. After finishing tracking 8 songs as a four-piece, we now once again find ourselves as a three-piece without 
keys. The debut self-recorded album (tentatively titled "Intros") is scheduled to be released in May (and uploaded 
shortly after that). We are now moving towards more electronic-oriented compositions with the addition of an ableton 
setup and electronic perc pad & drum triggers. Catch us live in NJ or NYC.

'Vanadinite' was recorded in fall 2012 at CaddyCorner Studio in New Brunswick, New Jersey [USA]. The recording 
features Corey Zack on guitar (Fender Telecaster), Baris Sonmez on bass (Fender P-Bass), Steven Stratvert on keys 
(Access Virus/Nord) and Jared Johnson on drums (Sonor Newport Beech w/ Zildjian & Paiste cymbals). Inspiration for 
the song came from an impromptu trip to a 'spiritual healing' type of hippie store in New Brunswick, NJ that featured 
a bunch of minerals and stuff that supposedly encouraged clean and healthy living. We bought a sample of it to keep 
in the studio while recording our album, 'Kindofisn't', and like to laugh at it while doing various unhealthy 
activities in the studio. Kindofis is currently in the process of writing new material to suit the soundtrack to the 
video game of your mind."

galore. 

'Avalanche' was the first song written for this project, recorded sporadically from June - August 2013 (between the 
recording process of six other songs as well) in a makeshift home studio outside of Minneapolis."

Facebook: http://facebook.com/stopcontactnl
Website: http://www.stopcontact.tk

The Artist Says:

"Psychedelica, New Orleans Voodoo, Electronic and P-Funk. Amsterdam-based psychedelic rock trio Stopcontact brings an
atypical approach to music, sound, and live performance. Their first EP 'Flight to Safety' contains five tracks with 
avariety of styles, all within their distinctive organ-based-no-guitar sound. In live performances, they tend to 
approach the songs in a different way, resulting in improvisation and a mashup between the concrete and the abstract. 
New material to be released in 2014.

Drums and bass for 'Potion in the Pocket' were recorded in a studio, keys and vocals at home."

10. Loraine - Heaven

Track Length: 5:45
Genre(s): Post-Rock, Instrumental
License: Creative Commons BY license (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/

Bandcamp: https://loraine.bandcamp.com
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lorainemusic

The Artist Says:

"This song was created in a bedroom in a suburb of Atlanta. It was written years before it was recorded, or before 
Loraine was ever a thought on anyone's mind. Three friends were screwing around, one thing led to another, and this 
song was born. We basically freaked out. Like, we rushed back to my house, plugged everything in, and sat down and 
tracked it all out, piece by piece, that night. The problem was that we had no clue what to use a pretty 
instrumental song for, so it just sat there looking all pretty and handsome in the corner until probably three years 
later, when Loraine became a thing. So now, as the same three people plus two, we use the process of how this song was 
created (spontaneous creative outburst followed by all of us freaking out) to make all of our music. And it's worked 
far better than anything else I've ever been a part of. We're on the mixing stages for our full length album. Mike 
Sapone (Brand New, Taking Back Sunday, Envy on the Coast, O'Brother, ect) has taken an interest in it, which has 
produced even more freaking out from all of us. It'll be out sometime late Spring/Summer of 2014, and hopefully you'll 
see us hit the road shortly after. Or that's the dream, goal, hope, whatever anyways."

Track Length: 03:08
Genre(s): Hip-Hop, Funk, Soul
License: Creative Commons BY-ND license (CC BY-ND). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/

Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/ms-dois

The Artist Says:

"MS-2: two former Brazilian rockers trying to do anything but rock. Me - Daniel Spot - and my partner Rafael Monstro 
have composed rock songs during all our lives. MS-2 is our first attempt (and so a challenge) to do anything 
different from that, and incorporate all of our others passions (hip-hop, soul, trip-hop) in the process of making 
music. Every song has a different vocalist, and in this one we have our friend Filipe Tornozelo on vocals. 

'Lust' is a joke about the stereotype of a crazy night."

Website: http://www.thegreatwent.com

The Artist Says:

"Longtime friends Kevin Hurley and Jarod Folkerts started playing music together in 2009 as 'something to do now 
that Battlestar Galactica is over.' Inspired by numerous acts like Explosions in the Sky, Russian Circles, Isis, 
Porcupine Tree, UNKLE, and Starflyer 59, they ended up with a unique blend of instrumental rock that gets to the 
point.

The song 'Burlap' was a turning point for the band and shows a glimpse of their hopefully bright future. It is the 
firsttrack off their self-titled album released on July 20th, 2013. Good old guitar/bass/drums with Russian 
Circles-ish loops at the beginning and sevens that sound like fives during the loud end. Recorded at Signaturetone 
Recording in Minneapolis, MN. We're happy to support What.CD!"

'Hey Love' is a song that was recorded in my bedroom studio. It was the single off our last EP and made it up to #2 
on Hype Machine. It chronicles an attempt to save a relationship gone sour."
