logos free track of the week # 11

this track originally appeared on the compilation album 23 seconds ov time in october 2010, and is a 23 second version of the track do you love? from our album ascending a line in the sky to sothis.

it is not merely a 23 second except of the 9'11" original. instead we re-shaped a number of the track's elements to capture what we thought its essence in so short a time-frame.

we found the experience interesting and in some respects liberating. maybe we'll create 23 second versions of some other of our tracks, as a counter to our usual meandering indulgences...

please note that since our number of free tracks is now in double figures, we're taking down older ones as we add new ones, so if you want them then make sure you get them sooner rather than later.

ascending a line in the sky to sothis

herewith, as promised, details of our second album ascending a line in the sky to sothis, which will hopefully release next month if we finish the mix by then. at the bottom of this post you'll find the cover art, which is by our friend debb rooken-smith and which we like very much.

current track listing:

1. sothis rising (8.12)
2. to please the moon (10.13)
3. sun king (22.05)
4. do you love? (9.11)
5. the opening of the mouth (18.28)
6. coming forth by day (9.45)
(total time: 1:17:51)

timings are approximate until we finish the mix, but we doubt they'll vary much. all tracks were created between june and august of this year (at the same time as we were working on the gehenna now material). you can hear preliminary versions of some tracks on our myspace page.

why sothis? and why so sirius? those of you who know what sothis means, and dog-days, and their significance to darren francis, shouldn't have to ask.

23 seconds ov time

we're very pleased to announce that we have a track on the forthcoming compilation album 23 seconds ov time. full details here:

http://www.ain23.com/23sot/

the track is a 23 second (yes, you did read that correctly) version of do you love? from our forthcoming second album, ascending a line in the sky to sothis. we'll be posting more details on that once gehenna now is released; we expect to have ascending a line in the sky to sothis out before too long. all tracks are recorded, we just need to finish mixing them.

mutable

new track. first draft done on 27th july 2010, finalised on 13th august 2010. another anodyne / inkling-style 'drone' track.

those curious about our musical sources may be interested to know that this entire track is derived from a sample which we also used on the track do you love?

update, 19th october 2010: please note that this track no longer exists as such (though we still have an mp3 of the preliminary version). it was re-structured, re-worked and re-named sunday to tuesday [no one calls] on 15th october 2010.

do you love?

new track, started on 4th august 2010 and finished on 6th august 2010.

you see how this two dates per track' thing works now? (the emotional and spiritual and whajamacallit essence - if you will - captured on one night, the sheen and presentability of the track looked into another night). sorry if that sound pretentious or flippant. as for do you love?... know that we like this track very much at the moment, but have little desire to listen to it. it harrows us to hell.
