Love Rhino (aka Jonathan O’Riordan) is having a launch party for his new album “Tumatakuru”. I’m playing support on the night, alongside Halo Darkly. Gig details after a bit of info on the album:

“Tumatakuru” is the long awaited debut album from Love Rhino. Containing 11 tracks and running to 53 minutes the predominantly instrumental album is a blend of electronic and acoustic compositions recorded in New Zealand.

For various reasons the release has been delayed longer than planned but we can now bring it to you in all its glory. The CD will officially be on sale on Saturday June 20th and can be purchased at Road or Spin Dizzy Records and will also be available by mail order through the Love Rhino web site.

Preview tracks from the album here: www.myspace.com/lrhino. The album is being released in conjunction with the Alphabet Set who have tons of free home grown electronic music to suit every palate. Check them out at www.alphabetset.net

Tumatakuru Launch Party

We are having a free launch party to celebrate the release. Advance copies of the album will be available for a special low price at the gig. The details are as follows:

Love Rhino + Rude Doc (live)

As well as yours truly on guitar and electronics I will be joined on stage by Mark “Rude Doc” Finlay on drums and electronics. We have been beavering away in the studio to create live renditions of some of the songs from the album and few old Love Rhino classics.

Another day, another free music download! For your listening pleasure I’ve uploaded a recording I came across of Autechre’s 15 Minute Mix for Radio 3 Mixing It. This recording was made on 30th March 2003.

It features one of the most densely enjoyable mix sets I’ve heard, with a huge variety of tunes layered on top of each other. I can pick out snippets of things that I recognise, but for the most part I haven’t a notion where one track ends and another begins.

Fast paced

Another thing about this mix is just how much energy it has. It’s bouncy and quick and funny.

According to the radio commentary at the end, there are 30 tracks included in the mix, but unfortunately I don’t seem to be able to find a track listing.

Highly recommended! Download here from this link or click the play button below.

They’ve got about 6 net releases currently available and I’m already familiar with the excellent “Deployer EP” from Kids for Tomorrow (side project of Gel Sol) which is excellent. I’m half way through James Murray’s “The Miracle of Transport” which is also hitting the spot, and I’m really looking forward to checking out the other releases.

We’d love to hear any feedback you might have about the new site so feel free to drop a comment here or over on Invisible Agent.

Excellent Epokhe Review

Finally, just after we launched the new website Warren Daly got an incredible review for his new EP Epokhe.

I’m pretty chuffed as I’ve got a remix on there and I mixed and mastered all the tracks. You can download this from Juno, iTunes, Amazon, Napster, and a whole host of other digital download websites.

Check it out!

New Music!

Do I have any new music to show for this long silence?! Yes. While I can’t currently offer up any more free music downloads, I have finally released something – a remix of Warren Daly’s first EP. It’s called Epokhe and has 4 tracks, one of which is a remix by yours truly. In addition to doing the remix, I also mixed and mastered Warren’s tunes! You can get it from any of the following:

• Juno Download
• Emusic
• Amazon
• Napster

It should be available on iTunes, Sony Connect and many more very soon.

More New Music (with pictures)

My summer was pretty much taken over by working on music and sound design for two short films. Unforunately I can only offer a preview of one of the films (thanks to funding restrictions, I can’t share out the whole thing or it messes up chances of getting into film festivals and makes the Irish Film Board very unhappy). Anyway, below is a trailer for Two Point Five Billion, and I still haven’t seen the finished version of “The Masterpiece” by Maeve Clancy, so I can’t show that off either.

Click here to view the embedded video.

More info can be found over at the Two Point Five Billion mini-site.

More Mixing and Mastering

Finally, although it was mentioned a long time ago, I have finished mixing and mastering a new album from Love Rhino, which will be released on Invisible Agent Records. This one has been a long time coming and I’m looking forward to seeing it out in the wild. I’m hoping to do remixes of some tracks from the album, and also looking to remix some more of Warren’s work. Still, I really need to get Ebauche’s own work back on track before I get completely side tracked by more film work (of which some will be landing in the new year – another short for Stitch Films).

I think that’s about it. I’m sure I’m forgetting something major that I meant to mention..

I just came across an absolutely gorgeous free music download from an artist called Muhr. The release is called Poussière and can be downloaded from the net label Serein.

It’s a 5 track release and creates a beautiful ambience. Distant strings, subtle grainy distorted noise, lush pads and lovely bass tones. Everything fits together really well and Muhr has created a wonderfully organic sound from his electronics!

Definitely worth checking out.

Fortuitously, Warp have made this available as either 320kbps mp3 or in the lossless FLAC format. It’s brilliant hearing it in it’s full intended sonic glory.

What a release!
