This morning I resumed mixing on what might be the title track of the next album – “Beautiful Things”. (4/1/10 As things progress I see the possibilities for the cd’s name to change so I’ve edited out all the banter about it.)

New on the website:

I’ve tidied up the page for “Simple Work“, added some minutia for the bored and/or fans, and moved the “ingredients” info to it’s own page – where it is now much more concise & legible – and where links to the synth developers are provided right next to every synth listed, when possible.

“Tussle in B Minor” has been added to the audio player and the corrupt file for “Rollover” has been replaced with a good one. (Facebook fans recieved a free download of “Tussle” yesterday).

There are currently 7 tracks in various states of production for the next cd. If I had to pin a date on release – I’d say Spring 2011. I’d love it to be sooner – and regardless – singles will definitely be released early to fans and radio stations that accept digital. The final product will be an actual hardcopy.

Thanks for stopping by!  – SO (KM)

Chain D.L.K. has given a favorable and fun review to “Nativity Set”.  Hooray!!

I wasn’t expecting reviews really; for most magazines and sites I merely sent an announcement for them to post.

“Nativity Set” has been my introduction to online-only releases. Getting airplay has been tricky this time out. Radio is in a greatly transitional stage as far as medium goes. A handful of stations prefer digital submissions. Many more seem to tolerate it. An equal amount refuse to accept them. I think in a few years that will pass, since half of them already are broadcasting mp3s from a digital library. It may suck sonically, but it’s darn convenient on so many other levels. Even stations without digital libraries still have djs that show up, plug their ipod into the board and get busy that way. Many hearty thank yous to the friendly djs who have been putting this one out there.

Have excellent holidays, everyone and thank you for stopping by! – SO
