Rambling Rat

Vinny Barden from Psilodigm supports the RamblingRat project by providing the backing music to Tim Dennis’s “Around the World on a Mac” movie which became an official Apple Mac Store Event in the Uk and was shown in London and Glasgow.

Psilodigm (pronounced: sаɪ’loʊ’dаɪm) is a musical project that started towards the end of 2007 in Leicester, England, UK, as an experimental ‘project’ that allowed the artist to practice audio/recording techniques with a motiv.

It consists of one main composer and a handful of contributors.

There is no specific genre for Psilodigm because influences range from the extremes of black and grindcore metal to the most relaxing and ambient artists, so there no telling what the next songs style will be… enjoy!

We had a very long and bleak drive up into Alaska but the scenery was stunning, the days are closing in us and not so much daylight is available, we crossed the border very easily as we were the only car at a very cold minus 16 border, but we were told this was warm as temperature can drop to minus 50.

We had a good sleep at Dease Lake and at breakfast met Kyle and his friend Kyle, not sure if this is how to spell your names so please comment if its not correct, anyway one of the Kyles is Zora’s son and the other Kyle has been working at the cafe were we slept, he cooked us some breakfast, I had cheekily asked for a large breakfast to be halved onto 2 plates and he smiled and told me that would be no problem, I’m not sure if a cafe in UK would be this accommodating.

We left Smithers at 10 am and drove up the Cassiar Highway towards Stewart a small Canadian village on the border of Southern Alaska and we crossed the border into Hyder Alaska a very small village in America completely cut off from Alaska with only 40 people there, had a border crossing and they were about the most exciting thing in the place as they gave me a really nice stamp in my Passport of a Canadian Bear.

I am so proud of Kenny, I am emotional that a 14 year old boy son of Mike and Kristina in Smithers this evening has prepared a presentation for his local snowboard and skateboard shop “Rayz” to sponsor the Ramblingrat benefiting Street Kids expedition with either a snowboard or a skate board that will be used in the local community for disadvantaged kids.
