It is amazing that this is my third time around posting to CC:365 and I haven’t yet touched a release from Epsilonlab in Montreal. They have had a very productive run over the last several years. You can get a good feel for what they have collectively accomplished by visiting Legal Torrents and downloading the huge collection of their Creative Commons-licensed material.

Daniel Gardner is Frivolous. He comes from Vancouver, BC and calls Montreal home. According to his EPS Bio, the young Gardner was not doing well in school until:

“a mysterious new course emerged into a normally less than progressive curriculum; Electronic Music Composition. Suddenly discovered were honor roll grades, and a means to merge a captive young mind with over a decade of communist-style classical piano training.

This was in 1996 and at 16 he began his first weekly residency at a Vancouver after-hours club.

The track we are featuring today represents Daniel’s alter ego, Frivolous:

“Frivolous captures a romantekly [sic] influenced montage of the most cutting edge production technics with an old soul mentality. Along side his still rather bizarre performances, is the incorporation of classic instruments and vocals into an environment built on experiments with glitchy cut-up funk and found sound.”
