Jeff and I have been doing some great work with the additional songs we are getting together to make “The Silver Standard EP” into a full 40+ minute self-titled LP.
The additional songs resonate with a lot of the feeling and production styles that the EP songs have. They are a welcomed addition to the collection of tracks that show some of the best (and most fun) work we’ve done in the past 2 years since forming the duo. Keep an eye on the Silver Standard website for updates as we get closer to finalizing the album!
Sliptide-wise, I’ve been mastering tracks on all fronts and reeling in project scopes to get some stuff out the door. There are some excellent plans coming together for music releases directly from Sliptide.com (taking full advantage of the awesomeness that is the WPAudio plugin, as seen on my remixes and project clips pages). Tech-house, trip-hop, and some trance tunes are all on the table.
I recently discovered the joy that is the Freemont Market. The wealth of ‘stuff’ to just see and take pictuers of is pretty sweet, along with a decent look-through of vinyl records. I scored some very good condition records of poetry well spoken by some great poets and speakers of previous generations (which I won’t directly say who so I don’t spoil any fun coming out of sample-smithing those records).
