update

we've just re-jigged the playlists on our myspace, facebook, and reverbnation pages. we currently have 16 tracks in all, and each of them is now available to hear on at least one of those sites. we hope in future to maintain this (until we have too many tracks to render it feasible) so that different and unique playlists are available on each site, with every track available on at least one. we won't itemise it all here, except to say that we've just loaded versions of previously unposted tracks as follows; ice age to facebook, and a drastic edit of sun king (13'26" as opposed to the full 22'05") to myspace.

more tracks on their way.

sun king

we've just finished a new track, named sun king. we started this one last night - 17th june 2010 - and have worked on it further tonight, 18th june 2010. we'll upload a version and/or edit of it in due course. we say "version and/or edit" because the complete piece runs to 22 minutes 06 seconds.

if it seems that we are obsessive in recording the minutae of every track, of when it was recorded and when re-worked, know that we do so primarily for our benefit; so that we have an archive. we don't doubt that a few years from now looking back on the process will be interesting (for us at least) and as any true muso knows - and we are that if nothing else - being able to chart the exact moment a piece of music you love was bought into this world, its progress from first notion to final render and the mad chain that took it there, is fulfilling. as place to be, and as history, and as place to be therein.

sothis rising

another new track, this was done on 5th june 2010 with some (very) minor tinkering on 12th june 2010. we've just uploaded it to reverbnation if you want to listen.

edit, 14th may 2011: the version on ascending a line in the sky to sothis is so different to this original eight and a half minute mix we did back in june 2010 that we may well put the preliminary draft out as a logos free track of the week. you can still hear the essence of what this track became in there, but it's an entirely other - though crude and primitive - beast.

the opening of the mouth

we've just uploaded another track, the opening of the mouth. the bulk of this piece was done on 8th june 2010, with some minor tinkering on 11th june 2010.

you can hear this track on our myspace page; we're not uploading it to reverbnation due to its length (14.27; that being the ahem edited version...).

heaven can wait

we've just uploaded a new track, heaven can wait, which you can hear at our myspace, reverbnation and facebook pages (see previous post for links to save us having to repeat them all here).

this track was begun on the evening of 9th june 2010, and finished on 10th june 2010. thanks to marshall applewhite for the inspiration.

we have several other half-finished tracks which we'll upload when they're done; hopefully at least another one this weekend.

note that different selections of tracks will be available on different sites, depending on that site's parameters; for example myspace allow a maximum of ten tracks, so our favourite tracks will be found there. reverbnation has no limit to the number of tracks but allows files to be a maximum of 8mb, therefore our longer tracks won't be found there due to the fact that we'd have to render them at unsatisfactorily low bit-rates. facebook don't seem to have any limit other than a 15mb maximum file size, which should be ample for most purposes, but we're still finding our way round the vagaries of facebook. and so haven't been able to exploit it as much as we'd like and intend to (the rule as to which of our tracks you'll find on facebook generally being whichever ones we're able to load without getting 'unknown error'-type messages...).

manunkind

we've just uploaded a new track, manunkind.

this track was recorded over the evenings of 1st, 3rd and 4th june, and features text by e e cummings ('pity this busy monster, manunkind'), our favourite cummings poem.

hear it at our myspace, reverbnation, or facebook pages.
