After many delays, my latest album entitled Out of the Silent Planet has been released! I did 80% of the production using Live (operator and impulse were used extensively), and the rest using Reason—both standalone and rewired into Live. The whole joint was mixed and mastered in Live—a first for me, no doubt.
A couple of things make this album different from anything else I've done in that (1) it's mostly an instrumental joint, and instead of strictly sampling I actually played on this one (though I did sample too
), and (2) this entire album is based on and inspired by a work of science fiction that was written by C.S. Lewis (author of the Chronicles of Narnia) and first published in 1938. I basically tried to score certain events in the book, and write some music to accompany the images that formed in my mind as I was reading and re-reading it.If any of you cats are up for it, you can go to here to cop a listen. Just navigate over to the audio page once you get to the site. Judging from the initial response, the favorites so far are The Abduction, Dancing with the Hrossa, and Oyarsa of Malacandra.
aight, thanks for reading this far!
