DETERIOR

tapes arrived today by the gracious post. the first batch is going to be copied during holiday break (yes, I never rest) and can start being distributed soon after. repost of the button in case you missed it (it's confirmed to be working now):

what you get: one 30-minute audio cassette of Music for Nucleonics , the new EP of noise experimentation. tracks: a1) decay I (7.04) a2) sferic (6.42) b) decay II (10.16) also, downloads will be available at some point so if you're sad that you don't have a cassette player don't worry. $5.00 USD, plus shipping. limited to 30 copies. I'm not 100% sure if the paypal works yet since I just set it up recently. if it doesn't, it won't steal your money.

the date is probably gonna get pushed back if I manage to get some cassettes lined up. extremely limited, of course, and downloads will still be available. updated cover: here

I've been holding out long enough, I suppose. here's what's coming out in the next couple of months. 1. Music for Nucleonics another experimental EP; this is that noise stuff I mentioned earlier in the summer. tentative release date is December 2. I think I have a bit more to work out with the mix. tracks: 1) Decay I 2) Sferic 3) Decay II 2. Cleanse my second full-length album that I've been steadily cranking away at since the summer. it's not even done being recorded yet (but it's close!) but I have a lot of details worked out about it. tentative release date is January 2009. tracks: 1) Cleanse: Tower to Sky 2) Syzygy 3) Solace 4) Tidal 5) Cassini I 6) Cassini II 7) Voyager 8) New Truth 9) Terminus ad quem cover: here 3. Tidal the first single to Cleanse , and a single proper, with a b-side and everything! probably out in like February.

wow, so yeah, sorry I'm not really keeping up with this as much as I should have; I guess I've been busy with school or something? well, anyway, I now have my bass and I've been practicing some lines, but I'm not going to do any recording until my thumbs heal from their separate tragic accidents. I wrote one more song, too, and have to record that and throw it in... still no title or cover. I'm having a lot of trouble with that, though I guess it's not a big deal until it's closer to being done.

recording of guitars is totally done, assuming I don't make any last-minute changes or additions. all the pieces still need fitted together, except for maybe two or three songs. following that, vocal selections and bass guitar. I don't even know when I'm going to have my bass with me next. regardless, things are coming along awesomely. still no overall title or cover art, but I'm working on that.

vocals are finished being recorded. I'm moving back down to Columbus Friday, where I will hopefully begin tracking guitar parts. in the meantime, I've been working on the arrangement and soundscapes. it's all coming along quite nicely.
