From-the-vaults-podcast: Arrivals mix

Posted on by

2010 Arrivals cover

My next from-the-vaults podcast is a mix of seven tracks from Arrivals (38min, 59.3 MB MP3), a previously unreleased follow-up to 2009′s Departure Lounge. Many of these tracks had appeared in various podcast mixes and live sets and were remastered with the intent of releasing a second EP in 2009. Instead, I decided to shelve them and go in a new direction, which lead to the material for Elsewhere and Vernal. So, here they are in a spankin’ new mix.

Tracklist:

  1. Chthonic(min) v.01, from 2008 Spring mix
  2. Circular Object (Sunset Island dub), from 2008 Summer mix
  3. 8-bitch v.02, from Free Flow Set
  4. La Palama (1984 CIA Factbook mix), from 2008 Summer mix
  5. Snwd_Ndr v.01, from 2007 Winter mix
  6. Untitled (2007-11-25), from 2008 Winter mix
  7. Aguadulce v.01, from 2008 Summer mix

As an added bonus, the complete album Arrivals is now available for purchase on Bandcamp: Immediate download of 7-track album in your choice of 320k mp3, FLAC, or just about any other format you could possibly desire.

NOTES: All tracks were created with Ableton Live Suite and Reaktor 4 and mastered using Sound Studio 3 and Ozone 4.

Antipode v.01

I have uploaded the first draft of a recent track I’ve been kicking around,  Antipode (v.01) (10:55min, 22.2Mb MP3) for your consideration. At the moment, I’m digging some of the spacious things happening in the background. I’m not so happy with some of the more rigid rhythmic elements, but I thought I’d offer a peek at a work-in-progress.
