Allo.

9/9th has been announced as the day the #harshwave unleashes over the world. I intend on keeping my word.

In short, it's an album's worth of music I've had sitting on the shelf since the beginning of the year and it seems about time to let it go abroad and do its own thing, like backpacking through Europe.

Since the release will be digital (only other media I could see it fit would be CD, but eh, can't be arsed on this one...) I will release it one sound piece at a time, probably every Sunday for the next couple of months. I feel like if the digital format is privileged, releasing the full album at once defeats the purpose and really shrinks the shelf life of artwork. I hope by going this route it'll get people talking about it a bit longer than 2-3 tweets and off we're gone. Maybe I'm dreaming...

As the day nears I'll let you know more about the pieces and the concept behind the album. Somehow, in parts, it's more conceptual than actually musical. In the strictest sense anyway.

Every piece will be released under the CC BY SA license and I will strongly encourage donations, as I intend to use this as a diving board to finance a couple of other upcoming releases that I'd like to bundle up in infinitely limited editions artwork. Said upcoming releases more along the lines of the stuff you're used to hearing from me, ambient / classical / subdued / ethereal, etc.

So, yeah, that's about it for now.

Up yours!
