SYNESTHETICMUSIC.
a record label... now in transatlanticolour.
welcome to the odyssey
not much can be said about this label - it came from out of nowhere in august 2008, displaying a message - the administrator's promises have been kept. no one can possibly say what these promises are, and whether said promises will transpire in the future. it was founded by kiran and max leonard, but max later left the picture and leonard was left on his own, releasing low-budget experimental albums. for a short period, synestheticmusic had it's own television channel, brickbats, on justin.tv, but they decided to call it quits. they, however, still do podcasts from time to time in the form of DANNY MINTON AND KIRAN LEONARD. in early 2009, the EggMaster came into the picture, and later on came Leo Brookes, a self described "faggot". These registered communists make up the invisible office, a cyberspatial translantic community where everything and nothing is possible.
bands and artists signed to the label include kiran leonard, john wight, leo brookes, one legged ninja disco pigeons, the white buffalo's collision tape & the incision magician, tritet, max leonard, we are edgar smith, observational situational, dennis palsson & turdsledge (apparently).
In the invisible office, there is also faggot's label "Fifth wheel" (link above), and my selection of homegrown shrooms, which make your eyes sink back into your head as phosphenes give you electric shocks of orgasmic joy.
home is where the heart is

Visions Cease by Leo Brookes has arrived.

Live in My Bedroom '09 by Leo Brookes. A hilarious pastiche of Sorry Robin and it's TOTALLY FUCKING HARDCORE NOISY BITCH
Crazy Creatures, Volume One by John Wight. Pretty fecking crazy if you ask me.
Atrocious Castrophicus by John Wight. Funkier than George Clinton's pyjamas.
Silent Violence by John Wight. I mean WHAT THE FUCK SRSLY CLASSICAL AWESOMENESS et cetera 
Sorry for the lack of updates, I've just got the 'can't be arsed' syndrome. you know, the point in a website editor's life, usually at around the 15 month mark, where he begins to question the absolute importance of his job.
Ah well, it's the thought that counts. Anyway, I'll try and be slightly more punctual with my updates.
...
Also, don't question the bootsy collins photo. it's just awesome, k?

i'm working on trying to get chrik and woodland fox to give me their tracks to the compilation, and finishing the sunshine theory. leo is also waiting on violence cotton drone and dilithium tourdes to finish their sides of the splits they're working on.
however, he still has time for this
that's right, the lead single by 'THE PUBESCENT BORED "ART FUCKS" WIV ATTITUDE'
30/9/2009
synestheticmusic are on soulseek *huzzah*
yes, our entire catalogue is on slsk for you to download, including three extra tracks on my album black was white that for some reason would not upload to last.fm. also, dennis has sadly pulled out of the comp because he doesn't have time to master it. we're all disappointed, but no worries - we certainly haven't heard the last from mr. palsson...
i've heard the new albums by john, and they're sounding kickass... they'll be stuck on the label in a few days me thinks, plluuus leo has a split lined up for us with the bizarre dilithium tourdes. goodie goodie yum yum.
oh yeah, and my protools should be back, fixed by the end of the week, which means the sunshine theory is slated for release next week... finally.
25/9/2009
well, inexplicably out of the blue, john has returned.
yes, he will be contributing tracks to the compilation, which should be coming soon. BUT the white buffalo shall not be contributing!
...well, not exactly.
In an e-mail john sent to me, he states - "the new name for White Buffalo (which is more of a collective than a band, seeing we cant all get together at the same time and when we do there's usually 3 or 4 out of the 6 there is of us) is.... "The Metamonolithic Necro-Phantom Colossus of the Mars Catacombs & the Lightning Ghosts"..... that's the collective name, material will be released under various things, such as "TMNPCOTMC" or "the Lightning Ghosts". OR "the Phantasmagoric Phantoms". This "demo" (which isnt really a demo, more like outtakes from the album we've been working on) will be released under "the Phantom Colossus of Mars" and the album will be titled, 'Without A Trace of the Light We Had Before We Got Here...'"
so yeah, john's back and sane as ever. the compilation should be around a week (which i think i said last week).
i also said that the sunshine theory would be out for july at first. but the fucking protools box isn't fixed yet. damn technicians, i'll kill em all.
wait, isn't my brother a technician.
....
nevermind.
16/9/2009
Nothing hugely interesting has emerged from the frothy underbelly of the invisible office... another kappa album by Lithuanian Hazard hiding amongst the flatfish covered by the sand (that's a pretentious way of saying 'we don't know where the fuggin link is') and no one is sure where john has got to.
which is unfortunate, as we've began work on a synesthetic compilation for our 50th release.
IT WILL INCLUDE -
myself (including an EXCLUSIVE BILLY & THE BEATNIKS LOLZORZ *cough*)
the wonderful droner LEO BROOKES (now with onoehtrix influences! *arpeggio!*)
the possibly irish PATRICK DOYLE with his monikers REDSK (*sexy*) and VIOLENCE COTTON DRONE (*bud*)
the australian sound fucker-uppers GHANAFOLK (*insert wallaby joke here*)
my brother from another mother MAX LEONARD (with his acoustic guitar composition autumn instruments *chill*)
everyone's favourite portuguese person MAIN DISH (*possible hyperbole*)
experimental music from mexican accordionist EMILIANO MENDOZA (a brand new song is unconfirmed, but we're a-rootin for it! *cucaracha*)
australian math-post-punk-pop-wierd-synth-art-turtle rock MY CAT DRINKS TAP WATER (*animal cruelty*)
a new song from mentalist comedy geniuses OBSERVATIONAL SITUATIONAL (*astley*)
a new song from the band that you thought were dead... THE? SPOON! (AND THE) (unconfirmed... but let's a-root for it *conservative*)
a new strange project from the swede cucumber that is DENNIS PALSSON (that's right, the man who makes the rest of syn look like sane civil servants *vegetable jokes lol*)
debut recording from experimental rock crazy dectet ONE LEGGED NINJA DISCO PIGEONS (*creamcheese*)
debut syn release for new signing CALUM VAUGHAN (*speel*)
also includes guests -
italian wierd riff wizard HOX VOX (song he chose himself from his album Etoile... *pot noodle*)
math rock duo with the best name in the business... guitarist chris and drummer rik make CHRIK (as shown on steve lamacq... syn finally are dealing with some real musicians! *shakespeare*)
chilled-out apocalyptic sine waves erupting from the jaw of the WOODLAND FOX (*anekantavada*)
we'll try and locate john before we release it, which should be sometime next week... but then again, the sunshine theory's been delayed for 2 months now and still hasn't come up. i'm sorry, but technical difficulties are technical difficulties. SO STFU BITCH
we're also trying to get pixieguts to do something, but we don't want to look as though we're selling out.
heck, pixie's palace is nearly as cool as the invisible office.
but not quite. because it's not invisible.
30/8/2009
back from spain. it was 30 degrees and i was baked in sweat for 2 weeks, but nonetheless, i enjoyed it.
Finally, beach sherpa has seen the light of day... it's here
Sunshine theory expected sometime soon.... i think

SYNESTHETICMUSIC ARE 1 YEAR OLD TODAY!!
THANK YOU TO ALL OUR BELOVED ARTISTS, AND IN PARTICULAR JOHN WIGHT, MAX LEONARD AND LEO BROOKES FOR HELPING STARTING AND RUNNING THE LABEL, NOT TO MENTION ANYONE WHO HAS DOWNLOADED A SYNESTHETICMUSIC ALBUM AND SPREAD THE WORD. WE HAVE HAD 45 RELEASES IN ONE YEAR NOW, AND IT'S BEEN AWESOME RUNNING THIS LABEL. THANKS TO ALL THE MEMBERS OF SYNESTHETIC ODYSSEY ON THE GREAT LAST.FM, SHITDICK5000, AND IN PARTICULAR A MAN WHO I SAW OUT OF MY FRIEND'S HOUSE'S WINDOW SCRATCHING HIS TESTICLES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AND THOUGHT NO ONE WAS LOOKING AND SUBSEQUENTLY INSPIRED ME TO CARRY ON MAKING MUSIC. THANK YOU ALL.
I'M AFRAID I'VE HAD TO DELETE ANY HISTORY BEFORE JANUARY 2009 DUE TO THE FACT I'D RAN OUT OF SPACE TO UPLOAD IMAGES ETC.. BUT NEVERMIND I GUESS.
WE ASKED OUR NEW SIGNING MAIN DISH TO FILM A LIVE GIG OF HIMSELF TO CELEBRATE THE 1ST ANNIVERSARY. SO HERE IT IS.
THANK YOU FOR FOLLOWING THIS LITTLE OL' NETLABEL. THIS YEARS EXPECTATIONS - A FORAY INTO PHYSICAL RELEASES, MORE WORKS FROM ACTUAL FULL BANDS AND SINGLE HANDEDLY DESTROYING PITCHFORK MEDIA ONCE AND FOR ALL (WELL SOME ONE HAS TO DO IT)
YOURS SINCERELY
KIRAN LEONARD AND EVERYBODY AT THE INVISIBLE OFFICE.

hello ethan. the only thing the band refuses to condone with regard to live recordings is their sale. everything else is fair use.
cheers,
don
John Wight has released his ninth... no eleventh... no... um... nth album, entitled "weltzraghassor", a collection of dark ambient stuff with Lynchian, noise and surrealist influences. It can be found in the seventh circle of hell.
However -
"Now that the show is over, and we have jointly exercised our constitutional rights, we would like to leave you with one very important thought. Sometime in the future, you may have the opportunity to serve as a juror in a so-called obscenity case. It would be wise to remember that the same people who would stop you from viewing an adult film may be back next year to complain about a book, or even a TV program. If you can be told what you can see or read, then it follows that you can be told what to say or think. Defend your constitutionally protected rights. No one else will do it for you. Thank you."

SORRY FOR THE DELAY.
THE CIRRUS WAVE PART ONE (the second john and leo split OMGOSHOMGOSHMOGSOMHOSMH!?!?!?!?!)
CRYSTALLITE VISTA (John's nth solo album in like, n friggin days 
)
by the way, that picture is seriously the first thing that comes up when you type "crystallite vista" into google images. seriously.
anyway, sorry for like a week delay, but i've had webmaker's boredom - a condition i just made up where you get bored of updating the same bloody site every few days. nonetheless it's there anyway, and here's a picture for you to fap over.
I BET YOU GOT YOUR PENIS OUT TO START FAPPING, PAEDOPHILE
27/7/2009
AFTER A FOUR DAY ABSENCE, THE INVISIBLE OFFICE HAVE RETURNED TO DELIVER TO THEE - UNPRONOUNCEABLE LOLGASM PART IV
also, leo is having technical difficulties and won't be making music for a while. i know, it's a shame.
23/7/2009
In the beginning, God created the light.
After that, he created man, and some time after that he created the funk. No, not funk. THE funk. The ultimate funk jam, recorded 50,000 years ago, the remains of which have not been recovered. Then, like he fucked the Simpsons up, Billy and the Beatniks decided to fuck funk up as well.
You've heard Ghanafolk, but have you heard GHANAFUNK?!
Also, the third part to John Wight's 'Experimental Series' has been released.
YOU'VE HEARD CORNOOPIA SPHERICAL DUNGEONS, BUT HAVE YOU HEARD FUNKYTOPIA AND SPAZZSTICAL FUNKGUNGE?!
No, not really. It's called Sarcophagus and it's very odd but interestingly awesome.

20/7/2009
Well, I'm back from Latitude Festival 2009, which totally kicked ass (highlights include Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Bat For Lashes, Jo Brand, John Gordillo, Sean Lock and Fever Ray), and John Wight has three new releases for you - Spherical Dungeons , Holocaust's Wingspan , and a new Manta XII release (outtakes from Zen, Cold Coffee and Cornocopia). I hope you FUCKING ENJOY IT !!!!?!?!!?!
Also, Leo is currently developing his own record label (not Fifth Meal fat bastards) ... no, an ACTUAL record label. not this amateurish netlabel bullshit. He's planning to release CD versions of SPDII and Tecton Voltalade on it at the moment. We'll keep you updated.
16/7/2009
A flower. In the town. A science fiction film.
When the teddy bear soldier came to life.
12/7/2009
It's about bloody time they released the sequel.
Oh yeah, and we found voltalade.
Don't know why I put a picture of Dali there... i guess I was just bored.
11/7/2009
It's been a while since we've had some releases, but Egg (John Wight) has, for the first time in a couple of months, delivered. And when John delivers (as we know) he delivers in bundles.
Today's releases include cold coffee, zen, and the final version of cornocopia (SYN031-SYN033)
On Zen, he formally introduces his ALTO SAX. expect zorn/moondogesque shennanigans with absurd percussion and strange effects. Hallejuah, the Eggy One has returned.
Oh yeah, he also released Tecton Voltalade, an album of electronic music, but the download link for that isn't working for me... maybe it's because of megaupload's bitchy limit on what you download in 24 hours. I'll try tomorrow and giver you a link then, K?!
Also, the Invisible Office presents to you... PHOSPHENIC MAGAMAGAMAPLANTS
Oh yeah, and this amusing thing happened on webs a week or so ago -
"There was an error trying to save your draft. You may need to restore this page by clicking restore."

A few updates -
synestheticmusic regret to announce that we have separated from Sorry Robin, due to musical differences. We wish him all the luck in his noise-making antics, but sadly, we personally don't believe that his music's aesthetic fits in with the label. We respect his experimentalism, philosophy and contemporary work, and congragulate him for not being ushered into the thoughtless majority of Hannah Montana (pbuh) loving assholes.
Plus, my album Selected Passive Drones, Part II: Organic Journey, can now expect a more accurate release date - I am hoping to finish and release the album by 13th July.
21/6/2009
Two things -
synestheticmusic have signed two new artists - Ghanafolk and My Cat Drinks Tap Water (Artist pages coming soon)
They are two very wierd Australian bands, the former making interestingly bizarre ambient music, the other lo-fi dance/math rock music.
We would also like to announce the death of Monkey Dancer.
Well, not exactly like that.
According to Dennis, when asked about the apparent death, announced on Monkey Dancer's myspace, "He died because I was his tongue and his flute, and he was too afraid to leave his indoctrinated cage of America. So without the extreme circumstances that surrounded him he couldn't survive and disappeared to become one with Su Cejah herself."
...Riiight. So that poses the question, who, or what is Su Cejah?
Su Cejah is a new religion that was founded by the Monkey Dancer, Patricio, Mahrtah and Pao Pao. The first sign of Su Cejah was witnessed hanging down from the ceiling as Su Cejah's eyebrow. The holy time is 08.47 and then it's appreciated to send a thought to Her to honor his greatness. In this ritual you have to cover your eyebrows with your thumbs and dance/sing like monkeys. This create a positive energy that you later will share with the people around you. Holy animal: Monkey (and everything around it like; banana...) Story behind the holy eyebrow: In the late 60's, while Mr. Noble still was hugging trees, he went out in the desert to find out who he really was and to come closer to the higher power. He walked and walked, and finally collapsed on the hot sand. His two thumbs landed on his two eyebrows and when he woke up his eyebrows had grown around his thumbs so that they were stuck. So for the rest of his life he had to walk like that, and to honor him we hold our hands like that while we pray. Why are you scared about the future? Don't be a coconut! God is trying to talk to you!
I always thought i was a pineapple.
In case you didn't get any of that, it basically means that the project Monkey Dancer is over, and he is going back to Sweden to make music with an eccentric band he's been talking about.
May Su Cejah's eyebrow be with him on his travels.
10/6/2009
News -
SYN029A, SYN029B, AND SYN030 have been released.
You have Monkey Dancer's two new albums (SYN029), the titles of which are so long I don't think I'm going to type them out, but the full length one is listed below. You can of course find out the name of the EP here and the full length one is stowed by the poopdeck. Don't ask why.
SYN030 is Deucalion's Axes by Galaxy Rainbow, who you will know better as Leo Brookes or Sound Dunes, who has reprised his awesome drone under a new moniker creating a much darker, brooding atmosphere. Expect seriously cool shizzle, the likes of which won't be found here.
But you can try here.
(by the way if you clicked on the link before it, i've probably scarred you for life. sorry.)
Also, I've got a low quality preview of John Wight's new album Cornocopia, which should be coming out in the near future. It's in an interesting classical vein, which could be described as perhaps more approachable. It's like acid moondog on keyboard. Nice.
Hasta luego,
the Invisible Office

11/5/2009
Dear faithful lovers of synestheticmusic,
A couple of things are really beginning to take shape on the label's front. For a start, it's slowly becoming apparent that synestheticmusic is not neccessarily a label in the traditional sense, rather a community of teenagers taking a stance against the generic pop that rules the teenage market. When you think about it, there aren't many famous teenage musicians with talent or musical creativity, and that is what I hope is what synestheticmusic can take a stance against - my vision is to start a collective of these teenagers and introduce people to something beyond Miley Cyrus, and bring an end to the patronisation and prejudice brought upon teenagers in media.
As I sit here listening to All I Need by Radiohead, it seems to become the perfect backdrop for the kind of things are coming. Leo Brookes is bringing out the first physical release in synestheticmusic history, with a cassette full of wonderful drone music, and I will hopefully later be bringing out Selected Passive Drones Part II: Organic Journey on CD. Sorry Robin seems to be moving on from synestheticmusic to start his own label at some point, which we wish him sincere luck with, and we hope that our paths cross again. We have signed a new swedish fellow, Monkey Dancer, and we are beginning to explore new forms of releasing music, something that synestheticmusic haven't experimented with since the early days of the label. The reason I say Radiohead's All I need is a perfect backdrop because the song provokes movements, crescendoes and change, because change seems to be coming to synestheticmusic. Now, call me a pretentious windbag, but I honestly believe that things are going to become very interesting in the near future.
My album the Sunshine Theory is set for completion soon. The lead single "Barbaraptuous" will premiere on YouTube in a month or so with an accompanying music video directed by myself and Tom Butterworth. Sorry Robin is set to make an appearance at the Canadian noise music festival Discord. Egg is making great progress with Cold Coffee apparently, which we at synestheticmusic are greatly looking forward to, and of course, Leo's cassette releases will surely blow us away.
Something is happening, good people of the invisible office. Wish us look as we explore the physical release industry and I lose a lot of money,
Yours sincerely,
Kiran Leonard

The Manta XII releases are coming. Now, as they are a collection of 7 EP's, they will all be released as SYN017, but categorised even further by letter... i.e SYN017A, SYN017B, SYN017C etc. Plus, there is the triple Dronedog album (SYN018A), followed by three others (SYN018B-D), and so far... that is the plan.
Time of writing: 01:06
Bizarre cataloging technique permitted by Egg and the first three EPs are cataloged as SYN017A, SYN017B and SYN017C, and placed into the synestheticmusic discography. They are Fistful of Fingers, Solace Sleep and the White Tree, and they can be downloaded here
Time of writing: 01:42
Four more releases are announced and are currently being downloaded. These will be cataloged as SYN017D, SYN017E, SYN017F & SYN017G.
Time of writing: 01:55
SYN017D, SYN017E & SYN017F are added to the catalog. Their names are "Travelling the World Alone in Happiness._", "Metal Clown" and "Bowler Thief" respectively.
Time of writing: 02:03
SYN017G is finally added to the catalog. it's name is fusion.
And thus, Manta XII is born.
Time of writing: 11:08
Woke up about an hour ago after watching Father Ted till three in the morning (FECK!). Logged onto last.fm to see if Eggplant has left me anything, to find the triple album Kaghkabba and two other single albums, "Eternal Clouds Erode Like Ashes" and "Red Blood is Done For Some Time". Well, they'll have to be added to the catalog then.
Time of writing: 11:59
The Dronedog of God's Eye's albums are added to the catalog.
12:00.

Hallelujah!
Why, do you know what that is? Why, that is an image. And what is this?
Why, that is a link. Which means that thanks to Google Chrome, synestheticmusic is fully running again. Not much news to report apart from that, really. Oh, but one other thing - that link goes to Observational Situational's debut album.
Oh yeah, that piece of news is kinda important. Hehe, well I thought i'd just let that out with surprise. But it's finally here. Enjoy

Introducing... our new drone/noise artist Sound Dunes and his debut EP, the cacophony silence.
http://www.archive.org/download/SoundDunes/SoundDunes.rar
On a sadder note, math metal band The? Spoon! (and the) have announced that they will be splitting up in June, as they are a band based in their university, all in their last years. They've been with us for almost a year (hell, check SYN001), so good luck to all of them in various pursuits.
Turdsledge and Observational Situational (two less-heard artists in the synestheticmusic canon), will be releasing material - Turdsledge an EP, Observational Situational a full album, all sometime in this spring.
I myself (Mr. Leonard), would like to formally announce albums 7-10 are underway at the moment, the last scheduled for completion sometime early Summer. Plus, Eggfast is working even faster than myself under various psuedonyms - we'll be expecting some early rare goodies from his "Manta XII" alter-ego.
"Tanya, you were a terrorist..."
23/3/2009
For the love of christ! After almost a week of faulty freewebs, synestheticmusic is back with a new artist, three new releases and another website.Then again, it's not all great - the toolbox doesn't seem to be working at the moment either, which means no images, videos or interesting linkies. Bollocks. Hopefully, it'll pass over in time.
One of the releases is BeaЯs... Apes... Midnight Sunrise by the Maggots in the Scarecrow's Eyes, which we now have a link for - http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?4jjvv1hly9b
The other is from our new artist, Sorry, Robin (an Eggfast find), who specialises in noise (she is also actually synesthetic).Her debut album, Violence Makes Me Horny, is now SYN013. She has an EP too... A.K.A SYN0014
Violence Makes Me Horny - http://www.rapidspread.com/file.jsp?id=f5z7j1ctta
Busting Some Fucking Heads [EP] - http://www.last.fm/music/Sorry+Robin/Busting+Some+Fucking+Heads
Egg now has his own website to keep track of his growing collection of albums and paintings. If Freewebs decided to be a bitch again, i would check that site just in case there are any egg updates you're missing out on.
http://egglabel.webs.com
But theres more! Sorry, Robin is currently setting up a blog called "Tokyo Harsh Cult", which I will be writing for. Expect lots of noise and experimental music. Peace out, you crazy sons of a bitches.

Ladies and gentlemen, this a dark time.
The last entry, Doom Drone Doom Colours, wasn't by Eggfast, and his account was hacked. And for about 35 minutes, he thought I'd hacked his account, and went on a hating spree. So... for the record everyone, he doesn't hate me anymore, I didn't hack his account, Doom Drone Doom Colours has been removed from the synestheticmusic discography, and I'm thoroughly pissed off at the moment.
Also, I've got a glockenspiel. Shazam.

Dear syntheticarts, this is Egg.
Here I have info on my new project "Eggfast". I have one album released.... the Last.FM wiki:
Eggfast is an experimental side project of musician Eggplant of the Prog/Avant-Garde band The White Buffalo's Collision Tape & The Incision Magician. Eggfast's sound is hard to describe, but has elements of drone, noise, ambient, metal and electronic, usually all in one piece. Eggfast's debut The Dark Matter was Eggplant's first release on the synthetic_arts label, while The White Buffalo's Collision Tape's upcoming debut is still in progress. Eggplant announced that there will be at least 4 more Eggfast releases coming Summer 2009 on the sythetic_arts website.
Shit, and we still haven't told this guy it isn't called syntheticarts. don't worry, i'll tell him now.
We'd like to call a celebration however. Synestheticmusic just released their tenth album with "The Dark Matter" by Eggfast.

"POST ON SITE (syntheticarts): "ANOTHER message from the EggMaster..." Album updates: As I have said before, this album is like a bike ride, the direction keeps changing keeps going... and it's going OK. There's going to be A LOT more tracks here than expected... lots of short tracks of weird sound effects between songs, interludes, spoken word stuff, random keyboard/guitar/drum solos, shortmetal riffs, and other crazy insane nonsensical things that are even more insane... yes, I've decided to go ALL OUT with this one and make it a hard listen for the listener, but it's going to be a 'trip' album, not a 'real' album. Anyway, there is going to be a lot of 'Normal' songs (no-messing-around-kinda-shit), plenty of obscurities, small ambient pieces, and short-spokenword-stories (really short)... the album will have all kinds of music on it, seeing where I'm going with this.. anyone who has been waiting eagerly for it (yeah right) will probably not get what is expected... don't be dissapointed, all of TWBCT&TIC's albums will be quite different and we'll hopefully make some prog masterpeices sometime. This is just our "breaking into the world of music" and we're gonna give it all we got, with sheer force of many things... obscurity, for one,
craziness, insanity, chaos, peace, softness, and vast worlds. That is a description of the album... and also don't expect anyhing because I'm not a great musician and we are only 14 year olds in the 8th grade... hah.
perhaps with the amounts of albums the eggmaster keeps bringing up (Our incredibly inventive American counterpart), you might be confused as to what album this guy is actually talking about. So take me make it clear... that update is about "Sparks Fly..." by the White Buffalo's Collision Tape & The Incision Magician. I wish him luck... as for me, I've got writer's block... luckily, I've got three albums of material lying around waiting to be recorded, so I'm good for a couple of years.

"Another Message from the EggMaster..." Here is some planned/upcoming/work-in-progress/current projects of mine:
Album: Shroud...(s) by ..."The Sleeper In Time"... Status: planned...
This is going to be a concept ambient/industrial/trance album EXTREMELY inspired by (two) groups (same 2 people) called The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu/The KLF. (PLEASE DO go to wikipedia.com and read all about their history) First of all, they loved to go on journeys and they loved eternity. So they made an album called "Chill Out" under the KLF. It is an sample-heavy ambient house album that "portrays a mythical night-time journey up the U.S. Gulf Coast from Texas into Louisiana." The whole album is a masterpiece as is it's counterpart "Space", by space (a KLF side project that is a journey through space.)........... Now THIS album will be very similar and is also heavily inspired by Death Cube K (look it up, buckethead side project) and Atrium Carceri. The whole album is a journey through a world where no one lives, a world of silence, echoes, desolation, isolation, eternity, ancient, a world full of religion, idols, temples, old catacombs, deserts, old Mexican cities (with houses of clay), a world where there's not even ghosts of men, you feel no spirits, you see dead skeletons, but you DO feel like your being watched as you travel through the desolate city. This is the work that is MOST important to me and I believe will be my 'magnum opus'. Other strong influences for this work: The art of Salvador Dali and Jeff Jordan. Stars Of The Lid, Buckethead's in search of inbred mountain (album), the Music of the Mars Volta, the works of Edgar Allen Poe, J.R.R. Tolkien, H.P. Lovecraft, the film "the Hills Have Eyes", Def Leppard's song "Paper Sun", the fictional town of Castle Rock, Maine as created by Stephen King and his story "the Library Policeman"... and the Band ANTARCTICA (VOLTA1995 CHECK THIS BAND OUT NOW!!!!!!!) that is about as much as I can explain about the album. And it will be LONG... like 13 cds.
Album: Time & Eternity, The Universe & The Abyss... (And Nothingness) by ..."Sleeper In Time"...
Status: Planned
This is similar to the above album by has much more influence of psychedelic rock, post-rock, but still ambient music in general. the album "Space" (above), H.p. Lovecraft's work, Poe's Eureka, Eternity, The KLF, Natural Snow Buildings, and many ambient/post-rock artists influence this work, oh and the Flaming Lips... lol. Anyway, it is a concept album that is a trip through... (what it says in the title of the album) and is neverending... (eternity). It will be able to be played endlessly on shuffle and will be an album you can do the following things with: sleep to, trip to, close your eyes and relax to, dream to, die to (truly), paint while listening to, expirement with, and a whole bunch of other things.. It will have A LOT of songs, for the shuffling experience to be AWESOME and mixing the songs together will make certain effects... it will be VERY expiremental and there will be more stuff for it, like playing it backwards, playing an instrument with, mixing other music with it... another one of my 'important' albums.
CURRENT PROJECT: "Sparks fly..." by The White Buffalos'... ah, screw it.
OK, this one is kind of 'infamous' to ME because it's my debut, it's chaotic, insane, crazy, and generally messed up. Lot's of inspiration from Zappa's debut "Freak Out!" with the Mothers and the Resident's "Meet the Residents" here. Now this is one monolith of an album. It will break as many musical rules as possible and will not generally be well recieved. That's how i want it. That's how it will be, and that's how it is. DOn't fuss, the good stuff will come later, ok? So be patient! I'm too crazy and expiremental for my own good, I have to put everything I can possibly think of into one album! I can't just hold onto one idea for this one! It might be a failure (too big to take off...) like Pete Townshend's Lifehouse Project. But this is only an album and no matter how freaked out and terrible it comes out... it WILL be released, and that to me is not a failure. That is success. It will only be one disc though... yay!
Current Project 2: Serenades of Silence by .................. (maybe Buffalo??) In progress, but not too much, it is simply an album of soft, peacful music (post-rock, acoustic, electronic, ambient) that just gets a bit more chaotic with each song and at the end... .KAZAAAAAM! CHAOS!!!! You get it?? It'll be fun though. Greatly inspired by classical music, ambient music (Stars of the lid) folk music, postrock, electronic music and Buckethead's albums COLMA and ELECTRIC TEARS.
Other projects: The World Inside My Eternal Mind... (by Egg the Artist)
A collection of songs based upon certain paintings i painted (side 1) and a collection of songs paintings are based off... (the paintings will come wiht the album somehow! look at the paintings while you listen...) There will be other collections like this!

POST ON SITE (syntheticarts), edit where needed--------- "A Message From The EggMaster..." Album updates: I have keyboards now (sick!!!)... I'm using bongos (lol, but true), using electric + acoustic guitars + effect pedal(s), I have (1) of those things that is a circle and has the little cymbal/bell things round it (WHAT IS IT CALLED??? I forgot!!!) and a bunch of other weird stuff. I'm currently creating an instrument that I WILL use in the album... it'll be crazy!!! I have made an album cover: It is an eyeball in the center with a blue background and a bunch of stuff around it... hard to explain, but I feel it HAS to be the cover. This album has certain influences that might show or might not: Buckethead, Frank Zappa, Omar A. Rodriguez-Lopez (+The Mars Volta), The Residents, King Crimson and Miles Davis, buckethead being the main influence (Hope you don't mind) and Miles being the last (but not least). The album will have about 5 "normal" songs, and 5 "weird" songs including: Intro (prelude, prologue, whatever), Interlude, Radio: A Look Into Communication (a weird spoken-word radio thing with sound effects), Epilogue, and Praxinator (Demo Version) [Bonus Track]... now this 'demo' of the second song 'Praxinator' is not really a demo OR a bonus track, but a distorted, crazy, early version of the song, with weird time signatures, fuck-up parts, sound effects, noise and other weird stuff... I was experimenting with this one. You might call it a 'mash-up'.
