Revolution Void

I decided to release the first track off The Politics of Desire before the rest of the album. Kind of a sneak peek at the album, if you will. The track, Time Flux, is a dark and moody breakbeat track with Latin-tinged guitar. Let me know what you think! More at thesixtyone

I'd like to announce the upcoming release of a 4th Revolution Void album, The Politics of Desire, to be released for free in its entirety through the Creative Commons. It will include 10 new tracks spanning downtempo to midtempo jazz breaks.

I was hoping to release the album on 4-4-2008 to coincide with my partner Yuriko's birthday, but the mixing and mastering process took longer than expected. Right now there are 10 tracks, 5 of which are mixed and mastered. I expect the remaining tracks to take a couple weeks to finalize.

A large part of the mixing/mastering process for me is cyclical: each iteration involves doing a mix at my home studio, burning to CD-R and listening to the tracks on as many different soundsystems as possible. I take notes on what sounds good and what doesn't, fix the mistakes and start the process over again.

In any case, the album will be released sometime later this month or in early May. I'll post links here once it's released.

Thanks for reading (and listening)!
