I've just uploaded another loop-heavy track to <http://www.myspace.com/nimbletunes> which comes from one of the two CDs I've got midway through the birthing process right now. (Messy metaphor; the musical content has been ready for a couple of months now, but the format is the holdup. They were going to be CDR releases, but I've unexpectedly had more interest in them than I anticipated, too much to keep up with, so I'm rethinking doing a replication run for at least one of them...) The new upload is called "Orphans Among Strangers" and features cello and percussion with loopage galore, and should be listened to at a rather high volume when your neighbors aren't home. Of [possible] interest: the "gong" that you hear a few times in the track is actually a broken crash cymbal miked right on the edge a la Saucerful of Secrets and slowed way down in SoundForge and eq'ed to sound bigger! The track comes from the CD 'Rantai' which is a collection of pieces I've done in association with the Chain Tape Collective <http://www.ct-collective.com/> over the past seven years. It's about 1/3 previously-released material from CT projects, 1/3 unreleased and/or radically remixed CT stuff and 1/3 new material with some connection to the projects. 'Orphans' is one of the new ones, while the nylon-string and flute piece 'Xylem' is from the CT-Acoustic project, available as a free download (as are ALL of the CT projects) at <http://www.ct-collective.com/>. Come on over and join us! The other loop-related track, 'Leaf' is from the CD 'Mesh' which was originally commissioned for a gallery opening associated with a 30-year retrospective show of the metalsmithing program at the Maine College of Art. Unfortunately, the opening fell through when the gallery at which it was to take place went under, but the upside is that having had to work with a deadline I actually finished the thing, and was left with 48 minutes of new music. The album retains the metallurgical connection in that all of the titles are double entendres on metalsmithing terms. 'Leaf' is a pice for shakuhachi and Nellotron (my old pc's soundcard playing mellotron soundfonts through my pedalboard). Hope you enjoy them! -t- __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
