One more for the weekend……

……then on to band practice

last song from Beaches

Oh and, here's the album art.

New song: Charcoal

Here's another new song off of Days Run Away 65: Beaches.
Im still getting back to work, feeling it all out.
Hopefully whatever kind of stump I'm in will change soon.

I've also got writers block in the worst way with respect to my senior thesis.
Anyway, here you go:

The Blue Hour Finished

Days Run Away LXIV: The Blue Hour

By Swimmingpool The Band

Five Songs

Full Length=47:45

Recorded Between 6/29/09-7/6/09

First off, here's track three, The Woods No. 2. The track was recorded using guitar feedback recorded through a four-track tape recorder, then back through garage band where it was further processed.



The album feels a bit all over the place. This is probably due to the fact that I was in the midsts of completely moving while making it. Some of the songs feature an attempt to work with lo-fi recording (a 4-track tape recorder), and mixing it with my more frequently used approach. The result is something I don't mind, and I hope you don't mind so long as you can handle the hiss.

You can download the album here (http://www.mediafire.com/?knwm2mtytn3).

Im also featuring two edits of one track as I can't decide which one I like more.

Here's the tracklisting:

1. No Phones (The Woods No. 1)          [8:34]
2. Radios         [6:30]
3. The Woods No. 2        [8:11]
4. The Blue Hour/The Woods No. 4          [14:12]
5. The Blue Hour (Alternate Edit)          [10:01]

The Blue Hour, album Sixty Four: And thank you everyone

I've started to get quite a few random comments on my music so, before I go any further, thank you to everyone who's listening!

Anyway, I've been moving as of late and my brain's still all over the place. I have, however, happily completed sixty-three and am now moving onto sixty four. 

The name of the record is Days Run Away LXIV: The Blue Hour.

Here's the album art:

The name of the track is 'No Phones (The Woods No. 1)' and is composed utilizing clips of answering machine feedback. I feel as though this track is my most effectively creepy/atmospheric track yet. Mutt_r is going well, albeit slowly for me, due to my big move. 

Thanks again everyone.

Im going to try something new

Before anything else, here's a new song Called Toirneach No. 2

In an attempt to better organize my music, I'm going to upload each album as its finished. Organization aside, it'll make the music more accessible to you, the audience.

I'm also doing something that I've not yet done, which is double back and cut out full albums (none you've heard of as of yet). To keep in the days run away concept, I'll release the albumless songs quietly here. 

Here's the latest album entitled: Days Run Away LXIII: Toirneach (or Married At Midnight)[click the link to download].

The Tracklisting is as follows

1. Amid Err (Married At MIdnight No. 1) [5:20]

2. Lancers [9:25]

3. Toirneach No. 2 [8:37]

4. Toirneach No. 1 (Married At Midnight, Again) [12:01]

As previously posted, here's the album art:

New Band And New Album

First, go to my new band's (Mutt_r or Muttrr) page. I'm not abbandoning my solo project, this is just something new. Something with more...rhythm...excitement..and noise.

So I'm two songs into album 63. For once I'm moving slowly. But with the heat index floating anywhere between 85-90, it's hard to really work on things that you're proud of.

As a result of which, I need to work by night.
I'm almost working all week this week as well so that doesnt help.

Anyway, here's a new song from 63. The album, Days Run Away LXIII: Toirneach (or Married At Midnight) is about half way done.

A few changes

I decided to scrap the initial album 62 and try to rework it. I've since re-finished it and I'm much happier with the final product.

The name of the record is Clapping.

Here's the first song off of that record entitled Kuʻi/Hau.

62/Wolves/Other/New Video

Here's another song off of album 62, now titled Wolves. The song's called Woolf. Im moving into my new place soon so I've been a bit scattered and I fear my music may have suffered because of it.
No worries though. Once I move, I'm sure it'll fall back into place again.

Im also in something of a new band. More updates on that later.

Recently, I've been poking around the blogs of my fellow students. It's sad to see a recent trend in this vague, self serving notion of charitable social awareness. There's a constant theme of 'I have so little but it pains me to see you'. First, I will not dodge the bullet that I live comfortably. I do. Very much so. This is also due to my parents unending care which I do, after seeing and experiencing the parents of others, truly feel blessed for having. Anyway, this incredibly shallow attempt to make one seem more worldly/concerned by smugly pointing out when they felt they could spare a pocket of change and when they couldn't has become truly frustrating. If you're going to act concerned, be concerned. Now, I'm not saying that everyone should devote their paychecks to charity. I understand that it is & can be hard to spare anything at times. I'm just asking for a bit of humility. Waxing philosophically about the woes of center city Philadelphia (which, mind you, is fucking heaven compared to the outer reaches of northern or western Philly, not to mention many other cities which are far worse off nationally, or internationally) will do nothing to change it. If you really want to do something, cut out the name brand products you buy. Donate. Go to protests. And get the notion out of your head that passively being liberal doesn't make you a better person, because it never will.
