Earworm Of The Week: David LeDuc

David LeDuc (of Pictures of Then and The Less Complex) released the video for his new track "Amends" last night. This project was collaborative, calling on the talents of seven musicians worldwide in addition to LeDuc, who penned the tune. Paul Haataja (of the Twin Cities rock band Far From Falling and Fuzzy Fotography) directed the video.

"The track was recorded piece by piece and each contributor wrote and recorded their part in separate studios from around the globe," LeDuc explained in his press release. LeDuc then collected the contributions via the Internet and arranged and mixed the final track in Minneapolis.

Musicians featured on the track are Ein Astronaut (Germany, drums), Laurena Segura (Quebec, vocals), J.B. Dazen (The Netherlands, bass), Arno Ceres (France, MIDI Sounds), Raven Zoë (Oregon, vocals), Bob Clagett (Georgia, guitars) and Mykl Westbrooks (Minneapolis, guitars).

A Musician On A Mission: 100 Videos, 100 Days

David LeDuc, bass player for local indie rockers (and 2010 "Live From Studio 5!" guests) Pictures of Then, has a new project in the works: 100 videos in 100 days.

"It's really just a kick in the pants to myself," LeDuc says. "It's to get myself in a better groove of writing music everyday, or at least learning a new cover."

The focus of the project is mostly musical, though there will be content included from PofT tours, The Less Complex in studio, and other fantastic randomness that LeDuc is known for.

LeDuc starts the clock today. See what unfolds on his YouTube channel, and visit him online at his official website and bandcamp page.
