PERICLES releases in 2011 > > >

Greetings!

The last post on this blog was over a year ago when I released my 'Rafael' GlitchFM original mix. A few months after 'Rafael', Asheville based label Waveform Modulations released my debut album 'Camel Rider'- a full on mystical bass adventure consisting of 17 tracks. Since then I have released several EPs, mixes, compilations, singles through soundcloud, and an album. 2011 was an interesting year to say the least. My live electronics group The Landsquid toured all the way from the southeast up through Montana and down through Colorado, churning back through Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, and the Carolinas. We shared the stage with Nasty Nasty, Protohype, Conspirator, Bluetech, Eprom, and lots of fantastic future music artists. Upon returning to Atlanta, I set out to finish my new original mix called 'Ancient Desert Vol. 1', which was released in May. I then spent the summer and fall leading ghost tours and working at a museum in Charleston, where all of this dream had begun in 2007 while attending College of Charleston.

Throughout my time in Charleston I had been working on lots of new and different sounds, bpms, and synth usages, and had collected a few albums worth of this newer kind of music. So in October I decided to compile an albums worth, searching through these codes to see which linked together in the most pleasing way, and the result was my self released album 'Sun Beams'. The fun concept I have kept with this is that since it is posted on bandcamp, and is therefore constantly up for edits, I have been shapeshifting the tracks, like ancient swiveling dna morphing through time.

Originally 'Sun Beams' was 13 down tempo/ ambient pieces with a few bits of crunk or heavy bass here and there, but it slowly began oozing around into another form, much more future crunk/ dance vibe, and I'd say now it has found a balance point at 16 tracks representing just about all the energies I desired to express from the original point of conception.

As I type this up I am planning on making a move at the beginning of 2012 somewhere...it'll be either Asheville, Atlanta, Los Angeles, or maybe even some land very far away. It is to be seen. I have a lot in the works for the new year, lots of new releases, lots of new imaginary sonic realms to conjure up. That's the beauty of art/life/time, there's always a new part of the puzzle to uncover, and that is what keeps me moving forward always.

Here is a catalog of compilations + eps I've contributed to as well as my own mixes and albums since 'Rafael'.
