DETERIOR

Yeah, been a long time posting. I've been busy with work somewhat, but that hasn't kept me from working on music. I've got a bunch of sketches of new songs that I've been working on for the past few months, and Ectype is being worked on a bit, too. In the meantime, I found all the guitar tablature I made when recording Primitive Circuitry sitting around and thought someone might find it fun to look at. I used drop A tuning, which is kind of unusual, but some pitch-shifting plugins can get the music up to a playable pitch. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?e8zpm45ys7x4ggy update: just realized that "The Rhetoric Drain" tab is missing the intro. sorry about that. it's probably pretty easy to figure out though.

Thanks to all your wonderful donations over the past few months, I was able to afford a replacement for my broken Digitech pedal. I've played around with it a bit and it sounds great; I've heard many good things about Metal Muffs (one of them being durability, so that's always good) and I hope this one will serve me well in music to come.

It is with sorrow that I announce that one of my most faithful companions on my musical journey, my Digitech BP-80 effects pedal, has finally gone on to meet the great circuit board in the sky after at least five years of use. I'm going to be shopping for a new one soon, but that means I'm not going to be able to do any further work on Ectype for a while. Oh well.

I just realized I'd forgotten to update the lyrics page with Primitive Circuitry 's lyrics. So they're there now, in case you wanted them to copy or something like that, I dunno.

Primitive Circuitry by Deterior Well, here it is, the moment I'm sure you've been waiting for.

Track 2 from Primitive Circuitry , "Lockout", is now up on MySpace for streaming .

Well now that I've finished with just about everything for the new album (and have upgraded my DAW! wooo!), I've been contemplating rebooting that covers EP Ectype and the re-recording of World . Ectype is definitely going to have some different songs on it (I think I'll keep the Liars and Why? covers; they were the only two that sounded half-decent). I should have time to crank those out over the summer. So maybe fall we'll see some new stuff (and some new old stuff).
