About: economics is a music project by dean summach. rather than focusing on his studies at the university of saskatchewan, dean decided to buy a 4-track and a cheap microphone. he spent his evenings recording in his bedroom, capturing whatever popped into his head and out of his guitar and any other instruments that he could find in his parents' basement. dean started burning these songs onto cds for friends, sharing his lo-fi instrumental tracks online, and lending songs to be used in various student film projects.
Dean has put the 4-track aside, moved out of his parent's house, and gradually increased his inventory of instruments and equipment, which has also expanded the sound and scope of economics. The music's present form is a dense package of delicate swirling sounds, maintaining the clever humbleness of those early recordings. This work has been compared to other instrumental artists like DJ Shadow, Four Tet, and Mogwai, as well as pop bands like the Smiths, Blur, and Stereolab. Dean has written songs for a few more films, including 'Eugene', which has popped up in a number of North-American film festivals, and 'Flatline' a locally-made, full-length feature that opened in June of 2008.
