NEW WILDERNESS COOKBOOK + NEW TRACKS
November 15, 2009
I’ve recently acquired some new gear. My folks went garage sale hunting and picked up – 2 accordions, a Yamaha DD50E Digital Drum Kit and a hammered dulcimer. As well I picked up a Briscoe Harmony Chord organ that I had in storage. With all this new gear I’ve been working on some new material. Starting to think about the direction of my new album, but more so just trying to record as much as I can.
I also came across this great cookbook that I had purchased a while back.

SEA POINT 12″
July 20, 2009
You can pre-purchase your copy of Sea Point.
Sea Point takes three tracks from Templeton’s Inland album, exposing them to vinyl for the first time, and includes three new tracks which are exclusive to this release. The album closer reverses and sees a fitting beginning here, as it’s namesake implies, becoming the opener on the A1 side and setting the tone for the remaining pieces on this EP. The new tracks on Sea Point were made right after finishing Inland, and they continue to exhibit the subtlety and fuzzy, crackly acoustic-based processes, sheering themselves of extraneous parts and leaving delicate strums and echoing backgrounds of abstracted phrases. While they further the themes and approach, they can be heard as almost the trails of the larger work, the resonating ideas and sounds that lingered long after their origins were complete.

CLARIFICATION…
February 19, 2009
Seems as though Acre Loss is being treated as a project where I exclusively did the music and aAron the visuals. This is not the case. We created the music together. We created the visuals together. Collaborative throughout.
LISTENING
January 25, 2009
Lately I’ve been trying to work on new material, but to no avail. It could be that I’ve been watching too much Star Trek, M*A*S*H and now Columbo. I do, however, have a few new tracks that I completed a while back, but wanting to continually be working on new material. I intend to spend more time in Ableton Live, to be producing work that is geared more towards live performance. As it stands now I work mainly in Logic, since I edit my audio files so much.
I recently started teaching Music Technology at a small college. I’ve been listening to a lot of different artists (Etta James, Buddy Holl, Soft Cell…). As a result I’ve been meaning to post something about some of the music that has impacted me over the past year. Not a year end list, just some albums that I’m likely lately.
Giuseppe Ielasi: Stunt EP – had the chance to see him live in Ferrara in October. Was really inspired by his performance and really enjoying this album. I get the feeling that it may be a surprising listen for a number of people who are ultra familiar w/ his previous works.
Claudio Rocchetti: Another Piece of Teenage Wildlife – he also performs in 3/4hadbeeneliminated. I visted the Die Schachtel label shop when I was in Milan, Italy. I got my hands on a number of their releases by some other great Italian artists like Luciano Cilio and Andrea Belfi.
Gas 4 disc box set
Ezekiel Honig: Surfaces of a Broken Marching Band – his best work yet.
Deepchord: Vantage Isle – was recently given this by a friend. In the past I haven’t listened to much techno (or all the sub genres surrounding it), but I think I’ll be listening to more of it in the future.
Fennesz: Black Sea
Growing: All the Way
Vincent Gallo: When
