Somewhere Between Love and Reason (cont.)

I made some minor edits to the new tracks, and uploaded them as well as the updated album artwork to Last.fm. There is a short review period, and hopefully the tracks will be available for streaming as well as download very, very soon.

I admit that I am very satisfied with the work I've done on these tracks--the whole album really. It took longer to put this album together than any of the releases I ever did for Hogle Lab, mainly because I am far busier than I used to be. SBLR is an album that I can't stop listening to even after hundreds of listens--and I have heard it more than a hundred times, easily.

Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoy listening to Somewhere Between Love and Reason!

Somewhere Between Love and Reason

Although I can no longer do work on the tracks on the debut album "Love and Reason," there are some very cool songs that I've produced in the last year that would fit really well on the tracklist. Because of this, I'm putting together a new release for Last.fm called "Somewhere Between Love and Reason." Technically it is a hybrid of the debut and the completed tracks from the album I've been working on, tentatively called "Somewhere Between Sound and Silence," but with my academic schedule, I find myself stretched quite thin on time, and it would be nice to have a little musical output. So, in the coming weeks, I'm going to update the artwork, and issue the revised debut by nosneb, complete with new tracks, including: Keep it Inside, I'll Take You, and Recognize.

In other news, I've begun a new focus in my Master's degree program. I'm actually considering doing a Ph.D. in Musicology, starting next Fall, and furthering my research on the Genealogy, History and Development of Industrial Music, which is the focus of much of my graduate work right now. My devotion to passion for electronic music has led me to make a career out of the scholarship of it, rather than focusing on participating in the production/performance of it. Hence, I make all of my albums, tracks, etc, available for free.
