THE STUNT MAN’S RADIO SHOW THEMES

Remastered and now available everywhere, the theme songs from The Stunt Man’s Radio Show are ready for your listening pleasure! These uptempo electronic pieces have been used since 2010 as the opening and closing themes for The Stunt Man’s Radio Show, heard weekly on 90.1 FM CJMP, saveonradio.com, outlets such as Mixcloud, Soundcloud, and previously on now de-funked Internet stations Sound Syndicate and Free Whistler.

Originally produced in 2001 by The Stunt Man & Mr. Bigstuff at their Titan Sound studio in Vancouver, BC, Canada (in operation from 1998-2002 AD), these compositions have been remastered in 24-96 HD PCM audio quality directly from the source recordings.

According to The Stunt Man: “In early 2001, we used to take off Tuesdays from recording clients in our studio or working on music for our Mr. Bigstuff & The Bigstuff Production band and make music just for the 2 of us. We called it Titan Tuesdays. For these tracks, I think we programed drums on an Ensoniq ASR-10 and an Akai MPC 2000 XL, record that into a Roland VS 1680 hard disk recorder (with optional EFX boards and proprietary CD), and then play keys live over the drum tracks. The synths used were a Korg Z1, a Roland JV-1080 (with various expansion cards), a Korg Trinity with weighted keys, an Oberheim Matrix 6, and possibly a Roland XP-50 in there, I cannot confirm nor deny this. Without a doubt, we didn’t MIDI program or quantize our keys. We were inspired to play live like The Time, The Gap Band and record to tape like most of our musical inspirations did in the 80s. Listening to our songs now, I can tell that Bigstuff played the basslines and I added those choppy, edgy lead sounds.

The Bigstuff Production band released one album called Body Dope in 2000. It was kind of a sci-fi concept album in which our enemies were King Stone (voiced by Bigstuff) and Sosé Rios (The Stunt Man), helmed a dark organization called The Faction (inspired by the Dune novels) who were trying to kill us, the band, also known as The B-Machine. “The Opening Theme” was originally titled “Faction ‘G’ Instrumental” and the “Closing Theme” was called “Graphic Syntax Overlords” where you can hear the voice of Sosé Rios. This was created by recording one word or syllable at a time into my E-mu SP12 Turbo sampler, messing with the pitch to get that grainy sound, because of course, like Darth Vader, Sosé’s voice had been injured in a battle with The B-Machine and spoke with a voice synthesizer that sounds just like an 80s 12-bit drum machine sampler from Mother Earth.”

While these songs have been streamed and played on FM radio many thousands of times, you can now listen to them in the privacy of your own home and voice your own intro to The Stunt Man’s Radio Show! Enjoy.
