I’ve just gotten word that my newest music making device has shipped. Hopefully I should have it a few days from now.
I’ve finished a new longform called Bower and I’m putting the finishing touches on another with a working title of Fissure.
I’m pleased to announce the unveiling of my sixth Caustic Reverie album, Themes for Guitar and Voice – Volume 2. This installment is a diverse collection ranging from ethereal drones to crushing walls of feedback.

I had actually finished this before the end of the year but I’ve been waiting on Jamendo to finish getting it uploaded. It’s been over a week and still no album so I’ll just post this with the last.fm links for now.
seriatim: One after another; in a series
It was part of Randolph’s pre-game ritual to open a bag of gummy bears, sort them by color order in the spectrum of visible light, and eat the whole lot of them seriatim.
