Okay here's the reason I've been quiet...

My debut album 'Mindstate Disposition' is out!!! It's been mastered, and sounds lush as. Bob Macc @ Subvert Central Mastering did an amazing job in creating even more clarity than I thought was possible.

I have upload it on my bandcamp for sale. It was going to be a free album, but I'm a little broke so it costs, not too much - £4 for 8 tracks, but I'm not just doing download, I have a CD on there for £5, which will be shipping in June, and is a CDR in a handmade octagonal origami screen printed CD wallet.

So please head over to http://enuui.bandcamp.com if you'd like to buy a copy.

Oh and to keep with Mauxuam and Greg Hunter's Cloudcycle free music policy, the Chimbre track is a free FLAC + MP3 download, as Cloudcycle feature on it.

Peace + Love!

Mindstate Disposition update

Well I've finally completed all the tunes for my album. It's made up of 6 tracks just shy of an hour. I'm investigating eco-printing & packaging for it for I have dropped the USB idea due to the fact it's totally a waste of plastic. So all them bonus things I was going to include will just have to be downloads which will be available with a download code with the album. Anyway, the music's all done, my good friend Bob Macc @ Subvert Central Mastering will be making sure all them frequencies are nice, and rich and harmonious. So that's going to be mastered in the next couple of weeks. I have a couple of other issues to sort out in the meantime, which will be looking for a suitable host for the paid FLAC download (which I'm inclined to ask InSpiral Lounge). MP3 will be free, and then CD will be in some nice recycled eco-packaging. I've redesigned the front cover, as I'm not able to get hold of the hi-res of the one previously planned. Still I have the hi-res of all the other photos Mr Hilisalasi has provided. So here's the new cover.

01. Slow Moving Thoughts
02. Kalikayai
03. Morality
04. Træna
05. Narayana
06. Chimbre (featuring Mauxuam & Greg Hunter)

Will have more to tell in a couple of weeks.

New Kaya Project album - 'Desert Phase' coming soon

desertphase.jpg

"following hot on the heels of “…& so it goes” (released in november 2008), "desert phase" is the latest voyage into global electronica inspired by windswept journeys through the sonoran desert, the thar desert and the northern sahara. for this album seb taylor and natasha chamberlain draw upon their personal experiences of time spent in these 3 deserts to convey the spirit of their mysterious landscapes and their inhabitants.

the album includes many of the recordings captured by seb and natasha in arizona, rajasthan and morocco, from the desert dwelling musicians of jaisalmer to moroccan bazaars and atmospheric desert winds recorded amongst the sand dunes in north america."

Sounding good! I've heard this will be out at the end of March.

Forthcoming Enuui album - 'Mindstate Disposition'

Sorry on the lack of updates, but its been worth it. I'm one track away from completing my album - 'Mindstate Disposition'. It's an hour of ethno-ambient works. There's a few drums here and there, but not many. Lots of meditative drones with Indian instrumentation weaved in and out. It's mainly inspired by Youth's 'Catching Fire From A Distance' album.

I've decided to let you own mp3's of it for free. Donation of your choice for flac/wav. Also looking at getting it pressed on CompactStick. A CD sized case with art, but where the CD should be is a USB stick, which I can have the high quality music, a collection of art, videos, text, and bonus mixes. Not sure when I'll be able to get this out, hopefully by February. This I'll sell for minimum unit price + p&p + £5 donation to amazonwatch.org, so I guess it'll roughly be £10.

Anyway, I have some artwork coming for it. It'll be based around this:
