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.

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.

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:

Preview of the album & one free flac download of 'Slow Moving Thoughts' available on my Soundcloud. Check it here, http://soundcloud.com/el-cubist/sets/mindstate_disposition

Thanks for the support over this year!

The Enuui Outernational Space System - Oneironaut (free mp3)

Here's some pure ambience I created a month ago, and has no rhythmic elements. This track was made completely on the fly, and was made from just two synthesizers!! It was an experiment for me, and I quite like it. I did add the sample later which was put through a RE-201.

So step into the dream world and take a deep breath...

'Dreamland' - by Mars One. I'm a big Mars One fan, and this painting is pretty much bang on what the tune is about.

Let me know what you think, and FLAC or WAV available if you want them.

Pitch Black - Harmonia (enuui rework)

Here's a sneak preview of the Pitch Black remix I'm working on.

Pitch Black - Harmonia (the enuui outernational space system rework).

EDIT: took the link away, because it's changing in a new direction : )

Hopefully should have it finished by the end of the week. I need to do some processing on some of the sounds to make them more different from the original.

Check back soon!
