Colours of Bliss / Shuffle Monkey
So… My first Kalix release is out now, floating around teh intrawebz. I don’t think it sounds all that bad, considering it’s something I knocked up in a couple of nights. I have many more tracks I’ve spent 3+ months on (at the very least) trying to get the production juuust riiight, so this EP sounds a little different to the other stuff that’s coming up, and is also possibly the only time I’ll let something go this early.
These two tracks are pretty chilled out (especially Shuffle Monkey. Has some slow-moving deep bass that should give any sub-woofer a good woofing.)
This is also the first time I’ve put a song out on a label (albeit a net label.) I’m interested to see how this pans out in terms of exposure. They’ve put it up on Mininova and Archive.org for me (oh, did I mention this is a Creative Commons release? Go ahead and use it in videos, or sample it and use it in your own tunes :D) and I’ve also uploaded to the usual places, like MySpace, Soundcloud, Facebook, Last.fm, and my new favourite, Bandcamp.
I also put up a DVD for sale on bandcamp that contains the multitracks and stems from my Ableton Live project. I’m not expecting anyone to actually go ahead and buy it, but I thought it would be an interesting experiment to see whether people would pay for something like that, along with the original “studio-quality” wav files of these tracks. Also, I guess it makes my tracks open source. :D
The next track I have lined up for release with Nite Owl is a bit more of a commercial house track. Electric piano, cheesy nightclub vocals, the works. Can’t wait to finish it up.
