Thanks everyone for listening.

Yeah an SYG label would be awesome. We could even get Thurston to release a tape (I think atsonicpark knows his email/address). Or, I'm sure ASP, Glice or porky know some high profiled musicians who could throw something into the mix eh?

First thing we could do is you making a donation for me to buy the Radikal Technologies Spectralis synthetiser II:

Hey I don't even own a reverb or delay pedal!

_slavo_ 08.06.2010 05:50 AM

everything is software-based in your music?

Derek 08.06.2010 05:51 AM

I put a £5 microphone up to my amp and play guitar nearly 100% of the time but the final sound is software-based.

Yes, it's criminal.

Derek 08.27.2010 05:52 AM

This should be out in the next coming months on PRIVATE COLLECTION TAPES. http://privatecollectiontapes.blogspot.com/

(Oh and the Robe. split is still to come out... it should be out soon considering we're nearly into September though I suppose)

I missed this earlier this month and just got around to downloading and listening. Very sweet and very impressive Derek. I especially like Shakatari Mound..

Derek 08.27.2010 03:26 PM

Awesome, glad you enjoy!

Hello friends, I've had this 23 minute track sitting around that features desolate chords, melancholic recorder and the usual slew of ambient drones. I'm not quite sure of it so I thought I'd release it to the public and let their ears be the judge:

I liked it. It's a nice choice of chords, there's some interesting phrasing saving it from drifty post-rock hell. I'm not entirely sure about the recorder, because it doesn't quite punctuate as effectively as the 'lead'(ish) guitar (such is the nature of recorders, unless played astonishingly well). Yeah, I like this a lot actually. I think you've got quite a knack for melodies that aren't horrendously trite. The droney bits aren't all based on boring intervals either. Basically, there's a minimum of post-rock in this, which can only ever be a good thing.

Derek 10.09.2010 01:54 PM

Thanks Glice, you sexy thang.

Excerpt of a new piece with the full version probably going to show up on my next full length. It's named after my favourite Shakespeare play.
