NOTHING MUCH HAS BEEN HAPPENING.scroll down for the freebies if Twitter has incapacitated your ability to read more than 3 lines without needing to move on to something else...
it's been ages since anything's been written here.
while stuff has happened in the last couple of months, we have little to show for it, besides scars and bruises.
The new album is progressing rather slowly, but good thing is we're playing some stuff that we never quite thought we'd be able to pull off. I've personally been trying out a couple of things quite alien to me, one of which is called
positive thinking. Well, this is what MUON looks like now. There's mainly 4 of us. Writing new stuff has been a pretty dysfunctional process, but we try anyway.
Here are some live tracks for download. New stuff and covers. Enjoy.
December (live at The Esplanade)Apophenia (live at The Esplanade)Flim - Aphex Twin cover (live at The Esplanade)Flite - Cinematic Orchestra cover (live at The Esplanade)On a separate note, I've just recently finished production, mixing and mastering for KittyWu Records' new release 'Then We Saw The Stars Again' by Amberhaze. It was a real treat working with Giuliano, and from what I know, one of my fave tracks from the album, '1994', has made it to a Silent Ballet compilation already.
Giuliano of Amberhaze had these kind words to say about working together:
"The mixing was done with and by my friend Nick at Wallwork Studios. It
was a new experience for the two of us, as he had never mixed a project
he hadn't recorded, and I hadn't had the chance to let somebody else
work on my material before. There are many details that are entirely
his, throughout the record. And the time spent in the studio reminded
me how it felt to work on a creative process with others.
In the studio, Tim Ngoh(MUON) helped with drums, and 'crush' and '1994' could not have sounded that complete without him.
While we were at it, we re-recorded most guitar and bass parts too. And
that took us to early July, when we mastered the whole thing, and sat
through it and thought 'ok, that's it I guess'."Do check out Amberhaze
