Well I hope this is on topic! I have a new CD out. Cohort records is financing this release, so I feel an obligation to give it support and make it worth their while. It's been a while since I've tried to promote my music--I used to send my stuff to Op, if that gives you some idea. It's my magnum opus of looping titled "More of the Same" and originally released about 10 years ago. While I used the Echoplex digital pro, it's more akin to LaMonte Young than Andre LaFosse. It starts as a slowly evolving arc, first just looping the soft sounds of the open guitar strings (It was composed for a performance at the music gallery in Toronto, and I liked the idea of just standing there for a minute holding my guitar and letting the sounds that result from minute movements build up in a loop). It builds into a wall of guitar noise built around (somewhat) bluesy guitar soloing. There's an algorithmic percussion accompaniment I wrote in max supporting the guitar, as well as some interludes of looped violin scraping and a algorithmically deconstructed hip-hop loop that also used max. Obviously not a recipe for financial success : ) Never-the-less, I'm quite proud of it and feel it's the best work I've done. This new release has some new recent material on a "bonus" cd using mobius and elottronix xl. If that sounds like something you'd want to listen to and you have a forum where you'd be interested in reviewing this release or suggestions for sympathetic reviewers I'd be very interested.
