Okay! So I thought it was about time I post another update about what I’ve been doing lately and will be doing. Exciting times are afoot, my friends. Let’s get straight to it, shall we?
In the near future:
*I have a fully finished, entirely soundscape ambient release geared to sleeping and chilling to ready to release on my word. As soon as artwork is all ready, I will probably be releasing this; perhaps in a month or two! This will also have 10 exclusive physical editions.
*I am working on an 8-bit, orchestral, acoustic album heavily re-inspired by my recent purchase of a SNES. Expect painfully happy music.
*A more acoustic-orientated album using mostly toys to write and play the music. These will be closer to songs instead of pieces of music and instrumentals like my last two releases. It will take a little longer to complete, I’m sure, but fun fun!
In the distant-ish future:
*Alongside my music, I also write in a literary sense. I am currently writing a fictional novel and, when it’s finished, I intend to release it with its own audiobook including a soundtrack. It will probably be available both physically as well as digitally, and that includes the book itself.
*I am also slowly working on a large semi-collaborative project of psychedelic folktronic ambience that takes heavy influence from Spanish, African and West Indie rhythms and instrumentation. The name of this project will be Ibotenic, and you can expect new pages and websites etc to emerge eventually, once more material has been recorded. I will be working with a series of different musicians on this project, and I would love to take it live as well with a similar collaborative vibe, but time will tell.
Okay! That’s your lot. Thank you for supporting me, as always, and don’t forget you can still purchase a CD or download my latest album here.
Thanks!
Ben
