Fallow

I thought the work on the Fallow soundtrack was done, but some new ideas randomly overtook me so I'm back to it again. More beats, more drones, more everything. The cameos from other musicians still haven't materialized, but the album is getting denser and more varied.

Oh, and thanks Ohmpark for the kind review of Further On. I appreciate it.

Album released

"Further On" is now officially available from Stickfigure Recordings! Thanks to those who made this possible, you know who you are... but especially thanks to Gavin Frederick, Travis Thatcher, and Jon Lukens. If you'd like a copy of the album, you can get it here.

Thanks to everyone who came out to the release party last night, it was a lot of fun. I'm grateful to Recompas and Nigredo for being on the bill.

Further On review

Hey everybody,

In the new issue of Creative Loafing, there's a kind review of Further On and a brief blurb about the release show tomorrow night. I'm blessed.

And, Nathaniel from Recompas' new tape comp (I'm on it, so are some other great peoples) is finally out, be sure to track him down to get a copy. I believe he will have some at the show tomorrow night.

Further On, on the web

You can read about/hear the new Warning Light CD Further On at this website.

It won't be out until the beginning of 2010, but this is still super exciting for me.

Possible live show

The label would like a live demonstration sometime around the release of the record in the coming January. I will likely play a slightly abbreviated version of "Sea Rations" from Further On, an old song called "An Early Winter Approaches," an ambient piece "Ringing Over Mountains, Far From Here" and very possibly a new song. I've been trying to come up with a way to make the performance a bit more memorable, hopefully I will come up with something so people won't just have to stare at me playing synthesizers and twiddling knobs.

And on a personal note, several years ago I was lucky enough to be in a band that opened up for Maserati after mr Jerry Fuchs had joined. Not only did we have the great opportunity to begin with, but we got to meet mr Fuchs, and he was a kind gentleman. It was great enough to see him play, but to say hello to a guy who I had listened to in several bands was pretty exciting. He was a huge talent and a genuine nice guy. Goodnight, mr Jerry.

New work

Update on a release date for the Further On CD on Stickfigure Recordings ... they have been talking to me about having it ready to go in January. Yep, January 2010, unless something crazy comes up. And I might play a couple of live demonstrations of certain tracks off the album. I'll keep you updated.

With work on Fallow progressing along, I thought I would post one of the more experimental tracks for your enjoyment. It's a nearly five minute droner that is comprised of found sound and a manipulated synth loop called "Walking Down Your Street":
