I know I’ve been quiet lately but just you wait until you see what I’ve got cooking on these hard drives of mine. I’ve been slaving over some new and some old material. It is on its way to you soon. As a friend of mine said to me recently, it will be UNPREDICTABLY COMPLEX!

For this next release, I am pulling together some dark, orchestral-driven tracks that are dense with sound and rich with production, similar to “Fade” in some respects but more representative of my scores and instrumental tracks which you can listen to over at www.audiocatharsis.com/media.htm. On this release I’ll be including instrumental versions at the end of the album as well as the full mixes.

Stay tuned!

I recently uploaded a song called “WAS” to iLike. This song is a quick little melancholy number that will appear on my upcoming “Shapes In A Waste Of Space” album. Check it out when you get a chance. If you like watching paint dry, you will enjoy this song.

I’ve included the song in my PODCAST. You can also listen to it in the sidebar of my website or on iLike: http://apps.facebook.com/ilike/artist/Living+Machine

Anyone who knows me won’t be surprised that I am going to make another change to my upcoming album. This time it is to the album name. This whole time I have been using the title “Storm Chaser EP” but I just can’t hang with that anymore. It is far too generic and to top it off there are too many albums from other artists with the same name. So I am ditching that title for good. I am toying with the idea now of calling it “We Chase Storms.” What does everyone think about that?

WE CHASE STORMS

I have released the song “Storm Chaser” on iLike and MySpace prior to the launch of the album.  For the next couple weeks you can hear it there until it is available for purchase.  Enjoy! Please add it to your pages to help fan the flames and induce relentless frenzy.

I am excited about the way the new album, FORLORN, is coming together. There is a lot of cohesion in the songs, even though they are each unique. I will be previewing a couple of the tracks on MySpace at the end of the month. I hope to release the album mid-February. Stay tuned my friends.

Cheers,
E

I just acquired ElijahShepard.Com.  For the time being it is being redirected to my LivingMachine.Net site but I will soon be launching it as an aggregated blog which will include much more personal and off-topic posts as well as primarily serving as my composer profile so that Living Machine can have its own space here and to afford AudioCatharsis.Com to become the hub for Audio Catharsis Records (my label) and Audio Catharsis Productions (my music production business).  Additionally, I plan to soon archive my design work under my EccentricPixel.Com portfolio site.
