Caustic Reverie late September update

Last.fm’s servers took a shit during the weekend I spent uploading my tracks and it took their customer service about a week to get through the backlog and get back to me. I’ve reuploaded the songs and I’m hoping they’ll stick this time. Watch this spot.

I’ve been toying with the idea of a CR album in surround and I did a quick 5.1 mix of Vigils as a proof of concept. I’ll share the link once I get a chance to hear the mix on a decent setup and make sure I didn’t blow the LFE channel all the way to hell.

Steven Wilson and The Incident

I got to do a phone interview with one of my favorite musicians: Steven Wilson of Porucpine Tree, Bass Communion, Continuum, Blackfield, IEM, and a solo artist. We talked about his new album, remastering King Crimson’s classics for surround sound, and what to expect from the upcoming Orphaned Land album ORwarrior. If all goes well, the tour should take him back in this neck of the woods around the spring of 2010.

I’ve been enjoying the surround mix on the latest Porcupine Tree album The Incident, not to mention the hardcover book of photography that is a part of the deluxe edition. Very cool stuff.

Giant Squid II: Electric Shamu

Jackie Perez Gratz and Aaron Gregory of the popular whalecore ensemble Giant Squid were kind enough to drop by the station this afternoon to do some press while they were in the Keys on vacation.

I got to do phone interviews with them both back in March, so it was a treat to have them at the station in person.

Bandcamp

I’ve set up a Bandcamp account for Caustic Reverie with three songs worth of albums. If there’s a good reaction, I’ll upload the rest of my material. Songs are available for free download in various formats, and there’s even a “buy” link if you’re feeling particularly altruistic.
