ascending a line in the sky to sothis

we're very pleased to be able to finally release the second logos album ascending a line in the sky to sothis.

02. to please the moon (10.12)

04. sun king (21.05)
05. do you love? (09.11)
06. the opening of the mouth (18.27)
07. coming forth by day (09.45)

total running time 70:29

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.

the porpoise principle

new track. we did the first version of this back on 12th september 2010, and have re-crafted it tonight.

what is 'the porpoise principle' exactly, you may be wondering? wait and see once we stick the track online (as we said in our last post, once the album is done with we'll re-work all our online playlists). it amused us, anyway.

edit, 24th november 2010: we have now scrapped this track since most elements of it have been recycled for anhedoniac.

the porpoise principle was originally intended for our album ascending a line in the sky for sothis - and would have slotted between to please the moon and sun king. no matter; in anhedoniac it now has a home, albeit a rather different one and in rather different form to that originally intended. we do still have the original, however, and may bung it out at some point in future for your entertainment.

edit, 14th may 2011: in our finalising the ascending a line in the sky to sothis album mix, we put this track back in. we'd originally omitted it because including it made the album too long (we use the maximum 80 minutes guideline for the length of an album, i.e. how much would fit on a single cd) but since the final mix of the track sothis rising ended up much shorter than the preliminary version - less than a minute and a half compared to the eight and a half original - we could slot the porpoise principle back in where it belongs.

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.
