Mute reviewed

Jamendo user Ivan1984 had some nice words to say about the Caustic Reverie album Mute. Here’s a snippet:

Mute is deafening, roaring silence and this is the closest I think you could get to that kind of transcendentalism, its’ allocative form is thus. What it represents is open to interpretation with infinite variables. For me, it feels very religious but that might be more to do with my subjectivity and not the intention or thought behind this massive track. At 41 minutes, something substantial happens, something is changing. Is this the link pin, that tenuous thread of ethereal substance? God spoke.

Read the full thing here, and while you’re at it, you can download the album in VBR mp3 or ogg.

Stochastic Resonance is the third Caustic Reverie album and it has been released on last.fm. The songs were fractally composed with the help of FMusic and then stretched, chopped, spliced, and mangled into the shape they are now. Enjoy!

New album details

The third Caustic Reverie album will be called Stochastic Resonance and will contain five tracks. There’s a companion piece to Vespers called Compline, though I’m not sure if I want to do the whole Canonical Hours cycle at this point. I’m still working on the artwork and final mixes, but I should have it released early next week to last.fm.
