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.
Bower
1. Bower (56:37)
Released 01-06-09, Bower is Caustic Reverie’s seventh album and first release for 2009. The album features a single 56 minute track with elements of drone, dark ambient and noise. Its companion piece is Fissure.
New toy on the way
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.
Themes for Guitar and Voice – Vol. 2
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.
Guitar themes update
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.
Myspace band pages
I’ve created myspace pages for my two projects. I’ll add these to the side link bar as well.
Sub Luna completed
Trackballin’
I’ve been having some shoulder problems the past couple of months. Last week, my doctor suggested I try switching to a trackball. I figured I would immediately be having a tendonitis flareup from the repetitive thumb movement, but so far it’s been great for my whole arm. I still keep the mouse on the desk for when I need the fine control but I’m finding myself preferring the trackball for everything but FPS gaming. Maybe I’ll get skillful enough that I won’t need the mouse ever again.
I don’t want to abandon it for good for the same reason that I wouldn’t want to switch to a DVORAK keyboard layout: the possibility of being completely useless a couple of years down the road when I need to use someone else’s computer that has a different setup. I have a hard enough time telling time with an analog clock, I’d hate to find I’ve unlearned mouse motions.
In other news, I’m putting the finishing touches on Io, another track from my upcoming TheForgotton release Sub Luna. I’m almost at the point where it’s looking more like a short album and less like the EP I had originally envisioned.
Caustic Reverie on the radio
A track from Stochastic Resonance was played on Dj Ichabod’s Out ov the Coffin radio show on WRVU out of Nashville. For the show’s playlist, click here.
