Soundscape: Constellation

28 Aug 2010

Back in February 2008 I recorded some music on my Pro Tools equipped system at MKII Studios in Hawthorn, using only a Yamaha Pacifica 1221, a Vox Tonelab SE, a Vox AC30, and a handful of delays. The result was a 55 minute soundscape, a guitar-driven, immersive, reverb and delay drenched wall of sound featuring the amazing versatility of the criminally underrated Pacifica 1221. I have been listening to the results on and off over the last two years, and have been unable to find anything to add to this mix, so now I'm making it available to Internet Land. Surprisingly, this actually constitutes my first solo release, which just goes to show that sometimes the best laid plans count for naught.

Unfortunately I could find no source of online digital distribution that I could promote this through, being that the there is only one song on this album, in fact, it is the album, and it's longer than 10 minutes. Every site I visited informed me that I was only able to sell this as a single, and that I'd have to split the track into several parts in order to physical transfer it onto their servers in the first place. "Bollocks to that" I said, and set about doing it myself.

So for your listening pleasure, I present my first solo full-length release, 'Constellation'. Naturally, there is a full quality version available, the highs are more sparkly, the lows boom better, and everything in between sounds a whole lot better. Contact me if you're interested in a copy of that, however it will cost the princely sum of AUD$15 as it will arrive in form of a compact disc.

Get it here.
