DETERIOR

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).

I suppose I should apologize for the severe lack of updates lately... one a month really isn't as much as I should be writing, I feel. the reason for that is probably because there's been a lot of stuff going on with me lately, mostly classwork, but rest assured that I am working on a ton of music-related stuff; it just won't come to fruition for a while, I suppose. here's a quick rundown: I have not worked on Ectype in a long time, but it is actually nearing completion; it just needs bass recorded and mixing/mastering. vocals and half of the guitar for the re-recorded edition of World are finished. I'm working on developing a more polished guitar tone via effects added during mixing instead of during recording, which should shape up to be interesting. I probably already mentioned that I have a new, more professional-sounding drum machine; it's pretty cool. I still haven't been able to press Music for Battery though I'll probably be able to over Than...

yep, I'm finally cranking out stuff for the re-recorded version of the debut EP World . it can't be finished until at least after I am rejoined with my bass in late September, but I've got vocals done and I'll have guitar and drums finished by then as well. I've recently acquired a brand-spankin-new drum machine and it sounds godly. you'll be able to hear it on World and everything coming out after it; Ectype is stuck with the old drum machine I used for Cleanse , which is still good in its own way though.

this is my first release, a five-song EP that came out in September 2007. it isn't exactly something I'm proud of anymore, considering how much I believe I've changed musically since it came out, but everyone has to start somewhere. it is no longer available for download, and will never be re-released. label: GarageMonkey Productions (GMP-001) format: digital file, limited CD-R released: 7 September 2007 time: 29:54 recorded and engineered by Andrew Arnold in Basement Studio from summer 2006–summer 2007 mixed and mastered by Kevin Crowl in Basement Studio in September 2007 cover art: Deterior tracklist: Steeper (5:56) What I Leave (6:44) [untitled] (2:21) Dividation (6:19) World (8:34)
