DETERIOR

the second of the noise tapes trilogy, Music for Automata delves deeper into harsher experimentation contrasted with eerie ambience, field recordings, and ebbing drones. special thanks to Manfred Schröder for track titles and general inspiration. I apologize for avoiding the "Deterior-8" pun for the eighth Deterior release, I hope you'll forgive me. free downloads (192 kbps mp3) mediafire last.fm (direct links to each track are provided below) audio cassette: label: GarageMonkey Productions (GMP-009) format: cassette C30 / digital file released: March 31, 2009 time: 27:48 recorded and engineered by Deterior in New Studio in December 2008 mixed and mastered by Deterior in Studio 205 in January 2009 cover art: Deterior tracklist: side a Three Bodies Cause Chaos (3:46) Automata (3:03) Genetic Drift (7:38) side b Strange Attractor (3:25) Paradise Filter (3:51) Fresh and Tired Mountains (6:05) credits this record was entirely produced by deterior; however various sound...

Music for Automata officially pressed today. extremely limited, like the first in the series. they'll be for sale this Tuesday, probably for the same price ($5). digital download included.

one day, when I decide to buy a new bass, I will consciously not buy one with active pickups. these things are the worst idea ever. yes, this is prompted by my having a perfectly good battery turn out dead for absolutely no reason. or maybe I'm just bitter.

so the other day the official GarageMonkey Productions blog was launched. eventually it will contain links to all sorts of music, including stuff that's not by me, and other news stuff and various fun things.

in the wake of Cleanse and its single, there may or may not be an official video for "Tidal" on its way in the near future. on march 31, the second edition in the noise tapes series, Music for Automata , will be released (and tapes WILL be made on time). looking farther ahead into the future, the third noise tape (which has been recorded already) and a covers EP are in the works for release sometime later this year. additionally, I'm a bit hesitant to announce that I have already begun writing songs for the third full-length album; however, it is going to be a very long time until it's ready (think maybe the end of this year or early 2010). that's all for now... thanks for listening.
