he Breaking Wind is an exciting, entertaining, and charismatic band whose vibrant music features compelling hooks and melodic bass lines that meld the rhythms of instrument and voice to create a distinctive and yet, somewhat, retro sound. Founded upon the roots of music's rich history ranging from jazz and rock to blues and funk, and bearing influence from many great artists - including John Coltrane, Carlos Santana, Jimmy Page, Robert Johnson, Jimi Hendrix, and James Brown - The Breaking Wind's music contains infectious grooves that affect both body and soul.

Many, who know of the The Breaking Wind, may recall that this band first took the world by storm on 07-07-07 when they performed at Al Gore’s Live Earth event in what was voted online as the “Best Live Earth Venue” on Smitnsonian Instutitue’s N.M.A.I. stage along the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
Some may recall that our iC SuperCOMPUTERS “Whats New” blog was the first ask, “Will the Breaking Wind take Live Earth by Storm?” prior to the official announcement.
Since they won the Caledonia Battle of the Bands, and are the current first place title holder’s of the “Haldimand’s Got Talent” award.

Awesome music. Awesome band. Awesome band members.
On February 24th, 2009 (Family Day), I was fortunate enough to witness Ryan lay down his bass tracks with the entire band at MetalWorks Studios. Besides being a Mac-based Metalworks Studios was chosen for several reasons:
“REGARDED AS ONE OF NORTH AMERICA'S PREMIERE STUDIOS FOR MANY YEARS, METALWORKS HAS PLAYED HOST TO A VERITABLE WHO'S WHO OF INTERNATIONAL RECORDING STARS, AS WELL AS BEING THE KEY RECORDING COMPONENT IN DEVELOPING NEW MUSICAL TALENT.”
For example, on that day at MetalWorks, Katy Perry dropped by (and I liked it).
This experience brought a lot of events full circle for a lot of people. For me, watching the transition of their song “Where We Belong” go from laying down tracks in GarageBand and mixing it in Logic Pro 8 to laying down the final tracks and mix at MetalWorks.
On November 12th of 2007, recording artist Jamie Bonk, courtesy of Apple, Inc., came to iC SuperCOMPUTERS in Six Nations for a FREE live presentation on the art of recording a band in Logic Pro 8. All of the tracks were first laid down in GarageBand in a log cabin along the Grand River. The magic Jamie brought to the session was in how he recorded this young band, the youngest was 12, performing on the stage in the A-Sharp Cafe with an app that Apple includes with every Mac sold. Then, bringing that same GarageBand recording into the virtual studio of Logic Pro 8, Jamie masterfully cleaned up the sound and demonstrated how to do the mix down for a very mature recording.
To this day, you can still find enthusiastic sales reps that eagerly demo the fine points of voice altering and instrument track isolation of this original GarageBand track to potential customers and musicians who visit the iC SuperCOMPUTERS log cabin store.
We must have played and demoed that song a thousand times in the store and at live events, including the Caledonia Fair and the Ancaster Fair, both of which will showcase The Breaking Wind performing live on stage this year. (Don’t miss it!)
So you can imagine what a treat it was for me to watch the MetalWorks engineers Chris Crera (Head Eng.) and Lake Curry focus their skillful attention to “Where We Belong” in the Studio of the Year (12 times winner of the CMW Industry Award).
