logos free track of the week # 4

our latest logos free track of the week is a version of the track manunkind.

this was one of the first logos tracks, created back in june 2010, and features voice by darren francis and words by e e cummings (the poem 'pity this busy monster, manunkind') . we did a radical edit of this track in january 2011 for darren francis' myspace page. this current mix, a compromise between the 9'24" original and the 2'17" edit, was created on 18th february 2011.

download it - and other free logos tracks - here.

manunkind

you can hear a version of the track manunkind at darren francis' myspace page. this track features darren francis reading the e e cummings poem pity this busy monster, manunkind with music by logos, and was one of the earliest logos tracks, created back in june 2010. this version is a massive edit of the original, and omits the seven minute instrumental introduction. we expect that one version or another of this track will feature as a logos free track of the week in future.

at darren francis' myspace page you can also hear some other tracks featuring df's voice, including tracks from the god thing spoken word-with-music album. god thing was created in spring 2010 but df was then side-tracked by logos and never finalised the mix. god thing will be finished and available very shortly, and we'll post details here.

news update

a great deal has happened on planet logos since our last update. we're finalising the track listing for our first album, and re-working those chosen tracks. it's currently (1) hollow hills of london, (2) everybody gets elves, (3) heaven can wait, (4) gehenna now, (5) volo ergo sum, (6) tectonic states, (7) manunkind, and (8) dunwich beach, september 2001 [a fragment]. it may be different a few days or weeks or seconds hence, mutable until we've got a play-list that'll fit onto a single disk. as well as re-working those tracks, we're also working on some new music and expect to have some new tracks for you all to hear very shortly.

we now have a profile at soundcloud - http://www.soundcloud.com/logosuk. amongst other things, this allows us to place player files for individual tracks wherever we want and we've started by posting all our soundcloud tracks directly on this blog. you'll see them all to the right of this post. this allows you to listen to our tracks without needing to navigate away from this page. note that all the tracks we've posted on soundcloud so far are re-worked and re-mixed versions of older tracks. give them a listen.

it never ceases to amuse us; four months ago we'd never made music, started doing this by accident and people seem to much-like what we do and - some of the time - we much-like what we do. sliding each which way by day by day, from an intellectual folly to a pill-count to a sound stage to a drunk diversion to something in which we can lose ourselves to an emotional black hole. all just grist for the mill.

* Edit, October 2010: We've taken the soundcloud audio files of here for the moment, since all the soundcloud files are out of date and we've not had time to re-load them; we'll put them back up once we've finished mixing the album.

album

herewith the provisional track listing for the first logos album:

1. those three bones 2. canticle 3. heaven can wait 4. gehenna now 5. volo ergo sum 6. manunkind 7. ice age

we intend to start re-working and finalising these tracks shortly. this listing may be subject to change, especially if we can fit more tracks on. if a particular favourite track of yours is not included therein, don't worry; we've also outlined provisional track listings for another few albums, with tracks being arranged or sequenced thematically and by personal association. for example, the second and third track listings are currently as follows:

1. hollow hills of london 2. everybody gets elves 3. enoch's ladder 4. black helicopters over highgate 5. tectonic states 6. hymn to pan 7. dunwich beach, september 2001 (a fragment)

1. sophis rising 2. to please the moon 3. sun king 4. do you love? 5. the opening of the mouth 6. sophis setting

yes, you won't have heard of some of those tracks as we've not yet finished them.

more news anon.
