in an effort to maintain regular posts, rather than waiting to officially announce news, might i report more generally on my creative activities, to keep a more informal strand of information flowing with regards to my most recent exploits. to that end, i shall skirt briefly around the projects which are currently keeping me burning the late night oil.
the astonishing abSUrd has already revealed to the world that his debut album is completed, but how i can indeed reveal that i have been given the mighty chance to bring it through the mixing stage, to allow it to shine as bright as it surely deserves to. should of course there be any doubt of confusion, i can wholeheartedly announce that it is completely out of control. how it features song after song of wonderful, psychedelic, dark, surreal, organic musical turns, and with a roster of guest-vocalists which reads like some sort of dream team. it is my intention to concentrate heavily on completing the mix through march, with a view to having it ready for release sooner rather than later. stay tuned for updates.
i am also currently guiding another amazing album through the mixing process. i'm not sure how secretive the entire enterprise is at the moment, so perhaps suffice to say that it is a monstrous alt-rap opus featuring the combined talents of one of the scenes most ambitious and prolific electronic producers, and one of the scenes most prolific and greatest lyricists. i guess that i can reveal that it will be made available on vinyl from the mighty uk-based planck length records sometime this spring.
i've also been just these last few days working on a series of four remixes for the truly beatufiul Þverfellshorn project, from the wonderful luke payne of wild dogs in winter. beautiful, dreamy, shoegaze-drone-electronica; layers of guitar lines and synthesizers with distant vocals and field recordings blended together with layers of fuzz and grain. we are gearing up to announce a forthcoming release on decorative stamp, so be sure to keep your eyes open for that.
i've also had the pleasure of engineering some band of buriers recording sessions to lay down vocals from the enchanting miss nadia d'alò, for her contribution to a number of songs on their forthcoming seven-song release, also to be available from decorative stamp. expect darkly beautiful alt-folk / alt-rap compositions tinged with ethereal sadness. i am also due to be contributing a series of found and field recordings to the project too. it will without a doubt be something really special for sure.
excitingly, my first book, entitled 'nova conditions' is also very close to going to print. i have been busy working on the layout, text composition and design touches, whilst also very keenly anticipating foreword and introduction contributions from two incredibly talented peers who have kindly agreed to write a few words regarding the piece. i hope to go to print perhaps even next week, and am thusly confident that i can schedule a release sometime in the coming month or two, almost six years after the project was begun.
i am also on the verge of beginning to record for a project which has been bubbling away behind the scenes for almost a year now. many moons ago the beastmaster, from the beyond-staggering papervehicle, and i started to make murmur's of collaborating on a project together under the guise of the caterers. planets then alligned as we suddenly came upon a raft of wonderful beats from mism records / luana records great mich moser. tentative lines have been scribbled, even a few scraps of vocals recorded, whilst the beats have undergone regular treatments, until we might finally be in a position to begin to tackle this formidable creature across the coming moons. further facts will be reported as they emerge.
lastly, might i give extra mention to the recent release of the evak & edison 'six pack o' death' ep on decorative stamp. since the mighty evak wrote me over christmastime i have enjoyed many a long hour listening to their incredible six song opus as well as exchanging a slew of messages with the man himself, not to mention the consistently benevolent edison. it's been a real, real pleasure in seeing this project through the release stages, getting to exchange messages with, and interview, the two masters themselves, first seeng mildew's artwork appearing in my inbox, being able to tell the world... it is an astonishing release indeed, now available from decorative stamp digitally and with a physical release coming soon... 667 for life.
it is always my intention to work tirelessly, and thusly do expect another host of news to come swarming in and some stage sooner rather than later. there are a great number of other strands under construction, slowly making their way to the fore. a few pieces of production, some vocal appearances, as well as a futher two or three albums of material yet to be revealed. onwards and upwards can and will be the only way. your interest is greatly appreciated.
