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.

For those who don't know, I've been challenging myself with a little experiment. Since January of last year, I've recorded at least one song every other day in an attempt to make up some kind of musical journal of sorts. The name of the project is Days Run Away, which comes from a poem/book of poetry by Charles Bukowski. The name of my band is Swimmingpool The Band. Since I began, I've recorded up to 58 albums (I'm currently in the middle of 59). For every ten or so, I compile them into a more accessible collection.

The Songs range from straight out ambient-drone to more involved post-rock pieces. And though they may be heavily processed, they consist almost entirely of guitar, piano, clarinet and cello.
The following collection compiles my favorite tracks from albums 46 through 58. Two tracks feature outside help on the cello (Swans No. 2 and The Bay at Dawn) from my friend Diana Palermo.

In the past, feedback has ranged from:
'this is great studying music'
'this is great to get high to'
'it sounds like (any one of the following) Vangelis, The Silent Hill Soundtrack, Mist soundtrack, Brian Eno and Stars Of The Lid'
and 'I wish you wouldn't sing sometimes, It's distracting'.
To those concerned about the latter criticism, I don't sing nearly as much on this as I have in the past.

As always, I look forward to any and all feedback/criticisms.

Once my laptop is returned, I'll get to posting the new tracks from album 60 and 61.

Not a lot to really discuss today

Well, having recently discovered that there's a great number of people who search out music through youtube, I figured I'd slap together a video to accompany my music. Then I realized I had little time to actually Shoot a video. I then figured I'd make something of a montage utilizing fount footage. That's when I found this clip of one of my favorite creatures, the Snowy Owl. The sequence is beautiful and I altered very little from the original. Some may find it as boring as the music but, well, there's my attraction to minimalism for you.

For those of you who don't feel like watching the video, the song is hosted below.
