Logos News Update October 2012

The third Logos album Shamania is now available. Herewith the track listing:-

01. anodyne (18.50)
02. deepblue2519 (03.43)
03. unified field object (14.59)
04. hypoboy (13.33)
05. hypogirl (05.44)
06. bipolar binary (30.45)
07. shamania (18.09)
08. sidereal (13.40)
09. tesseract [deepblue2519 reprise] (03.43)

That's just over two hours in all. You can listen to the whole album, and download, at http://logosnexus.bandcamp.com/album/shamania.

Even though we've finally finished with Shamania, there's still quite a bit in store for Logos in the near future. Logos now have a website at http:/www.logosnexus.com. Expect more free tracks of the week shortly; alternate versions of tracks you'll already have heard, plus others you won't have heard at all. We have a fair few outtakes from the Shamania sessions to share with you. We also recorded the fourth Logos album, Santa Susana Blues, over the summer. We'll be returning to this material later this year and giving it a final mix; we intend that there be nothing like the delay between recording and final mix this time round. Shamania took far too long, and the material we cut ended up being enough to fill an entire second album...

santa susana blues

we've now finished a preliminary mix of our fourth album. this music has come together very quickly, all of it created between late june and late august 2012. the album title is santa susana blues. herewith the current track listing:-

01. something witchy
02. santa susana blues
03. hallways of always
04. come to now
05. hungry knife
06. where rivers ran upside down
07. coyotenoia
08. the devil's business
09. 23 years in the tombs you made
10. infinite soul
11. the last door

we've created an initial mix of the whole album, which runs to just under an hour. we intend to return to this project and finalise it following the release of our third album shamania at the end of this month.

Friday 31 August 2012

coyotenoia

another new track for our forthcoming fourth album, coyotenoia was finalised on 31st august out of disparate elements created through july and august 2012.

Tuesday 28 August 2012

23 years in the tombs you made

a further track for our fourth album.

Friday 24 August 2012

hungry knife

another new track for our fourth album.

Thursday 23 August 2012

santa susana blues

a track for our forthcoming fourth album, finalised today though we've created several drafts and permutations of it since july.

logos news update august 2012

this news update is somewhat later than we'd anticipated; our apologies. a great many things have happened on planet logos since our last update.

our third album shamania is scheduled for release on 21st september 2012. herewith the final track listing:

01. anodyne (18.51)
02. deepblue2519 (3.44)
03. unified field object (15.00)
04. [+/-] (13.33)
05. hypogirl (5.45)
06. [-] (30.44)
07. shamania (18.15)
08. sidereal (21.30)
09. tesseract [deepblue2519 reprise] (3.42)

this music was created between autumn  2010 and spring 2011, with the final mix in summer 2012.

we know we said that following the release of shamania we'd take a break from logos so that darren francis could focus on writing projects, but it hasn't worked out that way. over the last month we've created a substantial amount of new music for the fourth logos album, the title of which we can now reveal will likely be santa susana blues. we currently have about an hour's worth of music for this project, spread over a dozen tracks, which we're still shaping and adding to and dividing from. it'll be finished when it's finished. that said, we're certain the construction process won't be anywhere near as extended as shamania.

we also hope to have a couple of tracks coming out on compilation tracks soon; more news on those once they're confirmed.

infinite soul

another new track for our untitled fourth album.

Friday 17 August 2012

shamania

our third album shamania is scheduled for release on 21st september 2012. herewith the track listing:

01. anodyne (18.51)
02. deepblue2519 (3.44)
03. unified field object (15.00)
04. [+/-] (13.33)
05. hypogirl (5.45)
06. [-] (30.44)
07. shamania (18.15)
08. sidereal (21.30)
09. tesseract [deepblue2519 reprise] (3.42)

all tracks by alessa otto / darren francis. recorded summer 2010 - spring 2011, final mix summer 2012.

regular blog readers may notice that this is shorter than the last track listing we posted; we dropped two tracks as we felt the album flowed a lot better without them. we'll put them out in another medium at some point, possibly as free tracks of the week.

Thursday 9 August 2012

hallways of always

another track for our as-yet-untitled fourth album. this is based on a sound sketch we did back in june, but this version was finalised on 9th august 2012.

Wednesday 8 August 2012

the fourth logos album

regular blog readers will be aware that we've been busy creating new music for our fourth album. the construction process for this one is slightly different to our previous three albums, in that we're working on multiple tracks simultaneously, shaping each against and in context with the others rather than singling them out and working on them track by track. that said, there are some which we would consider finished.

yes, we know we said that after shamania we'd be taking a break before working on another logos album, in order to focus on other projects, but these new sounds came in unbidden and the best thing to do is to follow them and see where they take us.

tracks in progress or complete include: something witchy, come to now, santa susana blues, the last door, hungry knife, coyotenoia, 23 years in the tombs you made, where rivers ran upside down, infinite soul, the devil's business, hallways of always. there is a clear theme to this album which we'll leave it up to you to guess.

the album doesn't yet have a title.

you can hear a sneak-peak of one of these tracks at our soundcloud page.



Tuesday 7 August 2012

where rivers ran upside down

another track for logos album four.

Sunday 5 August 2012

something witchy

another track we'd consider pretty much complete and destined for our fourth album.

Monday 30 July 2012

the devil's business

another track for our as-yet-untitled fourth album, created in one sitting on 30th july 2012.

note that although we've created quite a bit of new music recently, we've not listed everything track by track as we do it - as we did with our previous three albums - as our way of working on this album is rather differnet to how we've worked in the past. we're working on all tracks simultaneously, shaping each against and in context with the others. the few tracks we've listed here are the ones we'd deem 'complete' in their present form. of course, they may well change dramatically as we create other tracks. as before, we record this partly for our own benefit.

Wednesday 25 July 2012

the last door

another track destined for our fourth album.

Sunday 1 July 2012

logos news update july 2012

since our last news update we've finished the mix of our third album shamania, which will be released as soon as we've fixed the artwork.


herewith the track listing (nearly two and a half hours of music in all):-


01. anodyne (18.51)
02. deepblue2519 (3.44)
03. [ / ] (14.59)
04. unified field object (15.00)
05. [ - / + ] (13.33)
06. [ - ] (30.44)
07. hypogirl (5.45)
08. shamania (18.15)
09. sidereal (21.30)
10. tesseract [deepblue2519 reprise] (3.42)


we're also arranging cd editions of our three albums gehenna now, ascending a line in the sothis, and shamania. this will be after shamania is released. the shamania timings and track listing will differ to the digital version detailed above.


once shamania is released, darren francis will be taking a break from logos to concentrate on writing projects. this doesn't mean that logos will be put on hold; we'll still be putting out new free tracks of the week, the cd editions mentioned above, and working on tracks for our as-yet-untitled fourth album (which is already in progress). we also have tracks on at least one compilation album coming out this year; more details on those when we can release them.


don't forget to follow us on ffacebook, twitter, myspace, for the latest logos news and information.

logos on cd

both our albums gehenna now and ascending a line in the sky to sothis will shortly be available on cd, for those of you who prefer a more physical, tactile medium to their music than downloadable files.

we'll also be making a rather different mix of our third album shamania available on cd in the near future. we say 'different mix' because the album is way too long to fit onto a single disc and rather than splitting it over multiple discs we'd rather reshape the music to fit one disc. this will be available after we've released the album for download.

Wednesday 20 June 2012

sha-bleedin-mania

we've finished the mix of our third album shamania. we'll set a release date once we've finalised the artwork, which won't take long.

herewith the track listing:

01. anodyne (18.51)
02. deepblue2519 (3.44)
03. [ / ] (14.59)
04. unified field object (15.00)
05. [ - / + ] (13.33)
06. [ - ] (30.44)
07. hypogirl (5.45)
08. shamania (18.15)
09. sidereal (21.30)
10. tesseract [deepblue2519 reprise] (3.42)

at last! says the world, and we concur. many of these tracks are nigh two years old.

the more astute amongst you, and regular logos blog readers, will note that a number of tracks from these sessions don't appear in this final listing. we know. it changed a great deal, tracks added, tracks taken away, but this listing is the one that works best. we'll put out the remainder, free tracks of the week or elsewhere; one way or another you'll eventually get to hear them all.

[edit, 25 october 2012] we spoke too soon here; shamania was remixed quite a bit after we made this post...

Monday 11 June 2012

come to now

a new track, created 9th june 2012, for an as-yet-untitled future album.

the shamania mix is almost done, and has taken far longer than we were expecting. we'll have more news on that album anon.

Logos News Update June 2012

though it may not seem that way, we've been busy at logos towers. we're still tinkering with the mix to our third album shamania, which we'll put out as soon as we're happy with it. we are also creating new music, and will let you hear some of our new tracks ere long.

you can hear some tracks from shamania at our soundcloud page here. we've also released two of those tracks as free tracks of the week which you can download here.

we recently created two mixes of the track the village at rest by the band uncertain (from their aether: musick for moths album, which you can hear - and download for free - here. we've also created several 'for the fun of it' unofficial coil mixes, which you can listen to (and download for free) at the same link.

we're very pleased to announce also that we have a track coming out on a compilation album shortly, and hope to be able to give you full details in our next update.

logos free track of the week # 15

our latest free track of the week is deepblue2519, from our forthcoming third album shamania. listen - and download - here.

mu-ur mothership

another of our unofficial, 'for the fun of it' coil mixes, this blends elements of the tracks the mothership and the fatherland and mu-ur from coil's 1999 album astral disaster. we always thought mothership... worked best as an extended intro to mu-ur and wanted to combine the two to see how it came out. the first mix of this we did ran to over half an hour, but we hacked it down to a more manageable 18 minutes. if that sounds excessive, bear in mind that the original two tracks combined add up to 45.06. please note that this is not in any way an 'official' mix or endorsed by coil or their trustees. please also note that we do not claim or pretend to have ownership of this track or its copyright. we have created this track purely for our own entertainment and share it freely.

furthur

we've created another 'for the fun of it' coil remix.

this one combines elements of the two different coil tracks, who'll fall? and is suicide a solution? (together with another coil track as coda), along with quite a bit of subtle tweaking and tinkering. it's odd that it clocks in at around the same length as both coil versions, which wasn't planned at all.

please note that this is not in any way an 'official' mix or endorsed by coil or their trustees. we have created it purely for our own entertainment and share it freely.



Friday 27 April 2012

uncertain

we've created two remixes of the track the village at rest by uncertain, which you can hear on our soundcloud page.

the first - the solar mix -

the second -the lunar mix - is a much more minimal version.

the original uncertain version can be found on their album aether: musick for moths here.

first dark ride

we've been having all sorts of problems with making music over the last couple of months, and figured playing around with other people's tracks might be a good way of easing ourselves back in.

herewith a 'just for fun' reworking of one of our favourite coil tracks, first dark ride. we've never been too keen on the lengthy middle section, and wondered what the track would sound like without it. we've subtly though severely messed with the intro, massively truncated the middle section and tweaked the end. it clocks in at under half the length of the original; perhaps we'd jokingly refer to it as a "single mix".

please note that this is not in any way an 'official' mix or endorsed by coil or its associates/trustees. please also note that we do not claim or pretend to have any ownership of this track or its copyright. we have created this track purely for our own entertainment and share it freely. please go to coil's website at www.thresholdhouse.com to download their music.

listen to our first dark ride mix, and download for free, here.

our latest free track of the week is an alternate mix of the track the looming tower. we mentioned this one a while back and here it finally is. download here.

logos on soundcloud (slight return)

we've massively revised our soundcloud profile - and with a new url - to include both our gehenna now and ascending a line in the sky to sothis albums in their entirety, along with a selection of tracks from our forthcoming shamania album and miscellaneous other tracks which don't feature on any of our albums. we've also created a custom playlist - uneasy listening - which we feel presents a good overview of, and introduction to, our music.

link here - http://soundcloud.com/logosuk

of course, to download our albums please go to our bandcamp page - http://logosnexus.bandcamp.com

please note that this is a different url to the one presented in the previous post. we didn't realise we'd already set up a soundcloud profile a year or two back, which means we now have two profiles over there...

Wednesday 11 January 2012

logos on soundcloud

we've re-vamped our soundcloud profile with a selection of tracks from our two albums and others, including a few from our forthcoming album shamania. have a look and listen here.
