hi
i hope you are all enjoying autumn/fall.... here in Leicestershire most of the leaves are off the trees and there are fireworks going off all around this evening.
so... to the news. firstly, i would like to thank everyone who came to the gigs in France and Belgium. I really enjoyed the trip which included 5 gigs and a radio session in 5 days with sets between 35 and 90 minutes long.
the radio session for the wonderful Dr Adams is available to listen to online here: http://www.radioscarpesensee.com/crbst_35.html the Y6 session is about half way through. The sound isn't perfect in places as i overloaded the mixing desk a little, but it includes a couple of songs from 'When The Leaves Fall Like Snow' along with some of the material in progress for the new album. the show in Gent was also recorded and may appear on line soon....
On the subject of upcoming music releases... there's lots in progress and most of that will appear next year, but something before the decade is out....
MERRY6MAS2009 : after some possibility that the series would end with last years 6masBox, here it is again. This years CDr will be available late November/early December and includes music written for the film 9732 by Swedish film maker Niclaz Erlingmark (www.elenziah.com). For various reasons, the music i wrote specifically for the film didn't get used in the soundtrack, but old tracks 'pleasure/pain' and 'telescope peak' did. The music is still good tho i think so is included here, along with a couple of other things that won't find a home elsewhere. more news on that in a few weeks.....
LIVE AT UNION CHAPEL : the Yellow6 set from the recent Union Chapel / Arctic Circle Daylight Music session, featuring the songs 'close', 'if you see something say something', and 'cut' will be released in some form by October Man. Again, more details soon.
and for next year:
Album 1 - the new Y6 album for which there are currently 11 songs in progress - not all of them will make the album as that's enough for a double
Album 2 - Close/R. this is an album built around 3 chords repeated throughout, while other things come and go in the mix. With contributions so far from David Newlyn/Caught In The Wake Forever/Konntinent/Portal/Stafraenn Hakon and others to come this is a hypnotic/relaxing journey to be taken in number of sections that all merge into one.
(not sure how/where they will appear yet....currently investigating options for releasing them)
Also a few ongoing collaborations will see the light....
that's it for now... more soon
