We went over to my parents' on Thanksgiving day. So more holiday eating goodness. Got to spend time with Lacey. Got to see Jason and Anthony. So it was good. After coming home I took a look at my eurorack system and decided I hadn't played with it in too long. So I fired it up and hooked it up to my laptop and recorded a couple things. Then I chopped 'em up and arranged 'em in a couple different ways. Then I decided it'd make a nice album. I called it Seven Electronic Reflections. The first three are from the first recording. The last four are from the second. Each song has all the same material from the others of the same recording, but arranged differently. I thought it made a nice thematic consistency. And it sort of does this thing where it gradually gets sparer and dronier as it goes along. So within a couple hours it was up on bandcamp on sale for $2! Oh, and the artwork's pretty spiffy for something I threw together as well.
I know I can't embed here, but this is the link to it.
Pretty happy with how it turned out. Now that I have a solo bandcamp account, I'll probably do a little "mastering" work on my ol' soundtrack album and put that out. I had wanted to make the individual songs 30 cents each (for the thing I just put up), but the cheapest it'd let me do is 50 cents. But the whole thing for $2! Come on. Also, my original title idea was Seven Electronic Meditations, but I quickly realized the excessive similarity to Tangerine Dream's first album. But after having the new title, I realized it works even better with a double meaning I didn't think of at first! Since the same parts recur in different songs, they're like reflections of each other. Golly. Anyway, then I worked yesterday and am going to work today and blah blah blah.
