for this album i will be experimenting with adding additional guitar + bass layers. it will be a little more <i>quasi-</i> than <i>-improv.</i><br />
<br />
i'm currently in the middle of two Ixrillia albums now -- still working out some stuff with <i>Silholnul</i>, and also working on a new batch of stuff. very spastic, intense, fast-paced stuff. a little more refined than the improvised <i>Sil</i> demo.<br />
<br />
i'm sitting on a mountain of Bog Sirens recordings right now. combing through those slowly... we pretty much record a new crop of material once a week at this point.<br />
<br />
booking shows soon...<i> </i>stay tuned.<br />
<br />
in the meantime, J.Shannon and i got together the other night and jammed out this 36-minute monster. free download on bandcamp and soundcloud. enjoy...<br />

new material in the works... keep an eye on soundcloud & here for updates.<br />
<br />
<br />
keep an eye out for january. we're going to make sure we ring in 2017 heavy.<br />

<br />
Ixrillia material will be getting pushed back a bit, if only because i have gotten a little more "serious" about the compositions and have chosen to chart out and re-write / add segments. i think this is a good thing, though; i want to make sure that this is the kind of stuff that i could play live or by heart if i wanted to, and it's an extremely fun challenge to force myself into this pit of technicality, honing my skills further and further with each recording.<br />
<br />
until next time<br />

resuming recordings soon.<br />

<br />
each track is meant to be representative of one day of recording. <br />"Novalmnavaar" is part of the #novembeat challenge on twitter, to create one song a day for the month of November. <br />mental health and global oppression is probably the biggest obstacle.<br />
will be recording an extra long segment to cover days 8 through 21.<br />"Novalmnavaar 6-1" was repurposed as "Silholnull" -- more info below...<br />

still working on this one. this is (currently) a 9-track demo comprised of guitar improvisations mixed with drum machine composed after recording. no song exceeds 3 minutes of length. coming probably around the end of the month to the start of december.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>anything else?</b><br />
<ul>
<li>new Excelsia solo pieces coming soon... i've been stuck on some of the stuff i've been writing lately, but the #novembeat challenge has given me some ideas.</li>
<li>Antriarcha practice has resumed. new material soon. </li>
<li>planning on writing a new TRON MAXIMUM album... maybe before the end of the year. things are a little blurry right now.</li>
<li>no show dates yet... but soon.</li>
</ul>
