Misc. crap

I was sick for a few days and got out of the habit of updating this. I’ve gotten Stochastic Resonance pressed through Kunaki and sent copies of the first three albums to CD Baby. If the response is good, I’ll look into getting the whole Caustic Reverie and TheForgotton catalog on there.

I’ve completed an entry in the Steven Wilson contest for his track Abandoner. My remix is entitled Abandoner-Hypothermia.

Work on Helix continues, though I’m finding myself playing Left 4 Dead a little more than I should if I want to get it out before March. The call of the Purp compels me.

Absent pressed!

I’ve just got something in the mail that brightened my day: my first album in physical form! It’s now available from Kunaki for the reasonable price of $6.00, so you too can have the joy of finding one of these in your mailbox. The album is still available for free download from Jamendo and last.fm, so feel free to give it a test-drive before clicking the tantalizingly sexy BUY NOW button.

Pardon the amateur photography.

I’m looking into having it carried by CDBaby and possibly Amazon.

Themes for Guitar and Voice – Vol. 2

Leave a reply

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.

1 PlayHeatstroke 6:26
2 PlayMeditate/Medicate 8:44
3 PlayPull 10:44
4 PlayNepenthes18:44
5 PlayThe Fountain 8:29
6 PlayLullaby 3:51
7 PlaySmother 5:10
8 PlayUrbex 5:52

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.

Guitar themes update

Leave a reply

I’m just putting the finishing touches on the last couple of tracks from Themes for Guitar and Voice – Volume 2. I should have the tracks finalized and uploaded sometime tomorrow or Wednesday.

In other news, I’ve just acquired a Line 6 X3 Pod the other night. It’s quite a change playing through either a Peavy practice amp or recording direct from the guitar, as I’ve never really been in a place where I could crank the volume high enough to get some of the extreme distortion and saturation from some of these models. It can record 24 bit/96k digital right to my soundcard, which is infinitely more high-tech than some of the methods I’ve been using to record for Guitar Themes. Speaking of which, I need to stop playing with the new toy and get this album finished.

I’m not sure if I’ll have it before the end of the year, but I do have a new instrument coming. It has twelve strings and will probably turn out to be bigger than my car.
