Some time back the script handling the downloads for some of my free albums broke and as a result, a lot of those releases have been unavailable for a while. I finally got around to re-uploading “Evening Conversations” and it is now hosted on Soundcloud.
“Evening Conversations” was recorded live on 11th June, 2007 at Small’s in Hamtramck, Mi for “The Big Art Show“. It is a live remix of material from Life Toward Twilight‘s album “I Swear By All The Flowers“.
So I’ve been working on my follow up to “I Swear By All The Flowers“, and part of that process has been spent drawing inspiration from other people making amazing antique sounding ambient music. So I decided to put together a short mix of some of the stuff that has been rotating around my playlist.
Tickets are available for DAMNED IV. I will be providing ambient mixes for the art gallery all weekend. Description of event from site:
On October 27-29 2011 in Detroit comes an extraordinary assemblage of artists from across this world to display their most introspective creations at DAMNED IV – An Exhibition of Enlightened Darkness. From the infamous to the freshest of local and international talent, this prodigious congregation will allow us a glimpse within the diverse shadows of id and ego…of overall mind and encompassing soul guaranteed to intrigue, disturb, inspire or repulse. Rising from within the ashes of the historic institution of Devil’s Night, this is not Halloween-themed art but an immersion within the immeasurable realms of consciousness through an elegant ambiance of live strings and cirque/butoh-inspired performances.
This track has a lot of technical history. The melody was composed years ago and I originally proposed it be used in collaboration with a friend of mine who was going to record some vocals for it. That never quite materialized so I finished this piece to be included in the Sepiachord Passport CD sampler. We decided to ultimately not include it there since the piece is so minimal and ambient and didn’t really fit with the other material on the disc.
There are a few companion pieces to this that need finished and could make a new album.
Music from my album “I Swear By All The Flowers” will be played at Corpus Illuminata, an art gallery featuring, “one part exhibition of anatomic-inspired artwork, one part museum of medical antiquities and one part academia of accredited presentations”. The event is in Detroit this weekend, August 12 & 13, 2011. See their sites for details:
