Mindstate Disposition update

By Bobby on Wednesday 17 February 2010, 01:30

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.

Unimaginative Title #2984

What's been happening lately? I've finally got the final track of my album done, which is great, after not been producing much in the last month, apart from some really sketchy ideas. It's a pure ambient journey that represents what I imagine to be the morning after a Chimbre experience. Chimbre being a spiritual retreat in the Peruvian rainforest. It only has just been established but still has provided some excellent scenery to some heavy psychotheraputic work for many individuals. Check it out at chimbre.com!

So you can have a quick listen (well quick being 15 minutes) to the track on my Soundcloud - http://soundcloud.com/el-cubist/enuui-chimbre-feat-mauxuam-greg-hunter

This track is a collaborative track with Mauxuam and Greg Hunter, who if you've been reading some of my earlier posts are Cloudcycle. I have a bunch of samples I got off them and have tried making a few tracks, but they just haven't cut it. This one though is more fitting towards a halfway point between my sound and their sound.

Also I am in the process of creating a Sufi-esque Persian piece of ambient drum and bass for the experimental noise/jazz/drumfunk d'n'b label Pinecone Moonshine. Nic TVG, the label boss, has been a good friend for many years back when I was running Exegene, and I'm glad to be now working on something for his wicked label, which has some great artists on like Macc, dgoHn, Fanu, Jiva, Ibunshi, Parallel, Eschaton, and of course Nic TVG himself.

Also looking forward to seeing Hallucinogen live, Shpongle DJ set, and Eat Static live in London in a couple of weeks, as well as seeing the African Soul Rebels tour in Manchester with Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou, Oumou Sangaré, and the Kalahari Surfers.
