the looming tower

another new track. the looming tower was begun 25th september 2010, and re-worked on 27th september 2010. listening to it now, it may well get a final tweak in the next day or two; we'll see. knowing us, we'll end up adding a new bunch of elements to it and then taking them off again a couple of days later having decided we've over-egged it.

once we've finished work on our album we'll re-jig all the playlists on our various profiles to accommodate some final mixes of gehenna now tracks and some of the new tracks we've not had chance to put online yet. more details anon.

update, 10th november 2010: this track was formerly known as fire in the mind. we've re-named it as we have another (part-completed) track which has to be called fire in the mind, for reasons we'll elaborate on once we finalise it.

hey jim

our first new track in what seems a while to us (although we see - looking back here - that it's been just over two weeks), hey jim was created on the evenings of 19th and 20th september 2010, with some final editing on 21st september 2010. we weren't intending on creating a new track, but the bones of the backing track to this piece arose by accident whilst re-working the track dunwich beach, september 2001 [a fragment] and provided a good opportunity for us to use a number of samples we've had ear-marked for a while.

we're very nearly done with the final mixing of our gehenna now album; as predicted in previous posts, the track listing has changed several times in the last few days and weeks. we'll post the final listing once we're done with it. we had hoped to be finished by autumn equinnox, but it's taken a little longer than we anticipated; hopefully in the next few days.

gehenna now

we're currently finalising our first album - titled gehenna now - for release in the autumn. we also now have a profile at bandcamp - http://logosnexus.bandcamp.com/ - where you'll be able to download high quality mp3 tracks. more news, and a definite release date, once we have it.

sidereal

another new track, which slipped out of its own accord in amongst our reworking of tracks for our debut album. sidereal is another 'drone'-style piece, in a similar vein to anodyne. first draft 18th august 2010, revision 4th september 2010.

every sound used in this track is taken from other logos tracks. maybe when we finally release the album sidereal appears on we'll run a competition; first person to guess the source of those sounds wins something special. what exactly? we're not sure yet. something good, though...

edit, 25th october 2012: the version of this track on shamania was re-worked quite substantially; this original mix was just over 20 minutes long, with subtle and numerous differences throughout.
