http://www.submodern.com/slowburn recording an album of ambient electronic music Thu, 11 Jun 2009 16:55:33 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en The Slowburn album is up on iTunes, as well as Amazon, CD Baby, and a few other places. This was all done automatically through CD Baby's digital distribution. It is very easy to do, and these days it is very quick. The first two releases we did this way took on ... http://www.submodern.com/slowburn/?p=1287 A couple new electronic albums from Lindstromm & Thomas and The Field, both are pretty good. The L&T one is less dancey and groovy than their last release together, and more like Lindstromm's recent solo release. It has more of a tripped out 70's prog-synth vibe (but in a good ... http://www.submodern.com/slowburn/?p=1280 Sorry for the long stretch with no new posts. Shortly before we got back the finished slowburn CDs from the manufacturer, we received the tragic news that our friend and collaborator Bryan Campbell had passed on.

The slowburn album has been mastered and is sounding great, the master CDs are currently ... http://www.submodern.com/slowburn/?p=1215 The slowburn album has been sent off to Shawn at audible oddities to be mastered, and submodern co-conspirator Bryan Campbell is working on the album artwork and layout. The project is now out of my hands, artistically at least, which is mostly a relief. After the music is mastered and ... http://www.submodern.com/slowburn/?p=1204 I'm still unpacking things, getting the studio set back up, and trying to find the bolts and screws that hold my studio desk together. I vaguely remember putting them somewhere special so I wouldn't lose them... and of course now I can't find them. Some interesting thoughts and comments over on ... http://www.submodern.com/slowburn/?p=1200
