Icarus
Since 3 Days Ago

website down, downloads up!

Well, the web-server seems to be playing up, annoyingly just as I was in the middle of updating the site...

In the meantime however, point your browsers at our new downloads page for some agreeable soundwaves.

Finished!

Well, kind of...

The mixing is complete.

The album had been uploaded to Tunecore, soon to be put up on the iTunes music store.

The artwork has been uploaded to the CD pressing people and deemed to meet their specs (they even liked it enough to ask if they could keep a few copies to use as samples), and the master CD is about to be put in the post.

The website will be undergoing a bit of rebuilding in the next few days to enable me to sell downloads directly from it.

Expect a couple of web singles to be up for your listening pleasure within the next week.

And a couple of weeks after that Also, He Made the Stars... will be unleashed on the unsuspecting world...

Exciting times!

A note about artwork and nice people.

Had a very pleasing experience the other day. I'm busy designing the artwork for the forthcoming new album. I have a reasonable back-catalogue of interesting photos and suchlike which I can use, but for one of the pages I felt I wanted a picture of some stars. Obviously, I can't really take any decent pics without some crazy telescope arrangement, so I had a look around the web for some pics, and came across this site.

To cut a long story short, while the guy usually sells his pictures, he kindly decided to let me use one for free for this short run of CDs, and provided me with a hi-res version for printing. So thanks for being generous to a complete stranger. Check out his pics, they're amazing.
