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.

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...

further shamania. is this even music? who knows? it tickles the parts of our neural networks that need to be tickled right now. *

to do our usual butterfly-pinning: first draft 11th november 2010, take we're for now content with 19th november 2010, some noodling between, additional noodling due.

edit 28th november 2010: 'additional noodling' done today.

edit, 25th october 2012: this was re-named bipolar binary for the final shamania track listing.

* for those with a yearning to tell their friends about this track and wondering how it's pronounced, we like to pronounce [ - ] 'ahhhhh'.

enoch's ladder

we've uploaded a new track, enoch's ladder, to our myspace page. we've not put this on the reverbnation page as due to its length we'd have had to render it at an unsatisfactorily low bit-rate (reverbnation allows files to be a maximum of 8mb).

we started this track late on the evening of 29th april 2010, but the bulk of it was done on the evening on 30th april. on the same evening we also re-worked the track gehenna now slightly; you can hear the new version of that on both reverbnation and myspace pages.

update, 22nd december 2010: we have since scrapped this track. all elements have been recycled elsewhere (with the exception of the crowley sample), in the shamania tracks [ + ] and [ - / + ]
