Two EPs have come out in the last few weeks, bringing Second Thought back into the eyes of the masses. Well, when I say masses…
Treatments came out a few weeks back, on the Silent Flow netlabel, a five track EP of dark ambient/drone/noise electro-acoustic experiment, with sound sources given various ‘treatments’. The work is very different from any of my previous tracks, and acts more as an experiment rather than a standalone piece, but is something I’m very happy with. More tracks in this vein were produced and may appear on future releases. Secondly, and more importantly, Cyclene Records released Canal Seven this morning on their netlabel. Canal Seven is much more traditional Second Thought and has been written about many times before in this blog. I am very happy with it, however, and hope it isn’t the only 30 minute piece I release – more are lined up!
So this is all happy. It’s nice to have stuff going again after all this time away. Three net releases in the last four months is good. I hope to work with both labels again in the future. Meantime, I’ve been working steadily on some synth tracks lately, which are very old school ambient in style, with slight contemporary touches. Not sure what’s happening with these yet but I have some ideas. Safernoc is still on the way, I promise. I have various other bits and bobs to look out for later in the year too…
Until then, you should all listen to Grey Mirrors by The Glimmer Room as it is lovely!
