Cindervoice: Day One

admin — Wed, 19 May 2010 03:21:10 +0000

Day One of remixing Cindervoice: I’m starting at the beginning with “Get Up,” which is as much a summoning as a song.

From one perspective, I’m recovering a part of myself. I’m pleased by how quickly my intuitive grasp of the album has returned. The foundation of the album–the performances, the songwriting, the feeling–are solid as ever.

But from another perspective, I’m casting off old ideas that no longer stand up to scrutiny: unearthing past mixing and production decisions, examining them in a new light, and making better ones that allow the performances to sing more freely.

It’s liberating.

The story of Cindervoice

admin — Sun, 16 May 2010 05:07:59 +0000

In late 2004, after having contributed vocals and instruments to a great many Dead Raven Choir albums, I set out to chart my own path between progressive/psychedelic and singer-songwriter music.

This new idea became Cindervoice. I recorded a full-length debut album over the next several years. I handled songwriting, vocals, and an array of instruments and programming. Guitarist Adam Russell fleshed out my basic acoustic guitar parts with wondrous, intricate electric guitars, leads, and bass. Drummer John O. contributed a subtle and muscular performance on percussion. The songs were strong, strange, and deeply felt, narrating a difficult time in my life.

But something happened at the end of 2006: GODHEADSCOPE.

Although it began as a side-project, by mid-2007 GODHEADSCOPE released its well-reviewed debut album, A City Out of Sight, on God Is Myth Records. I became increasingly consumed by the possibilities of the new project, and soon GODHEADSCOPE was my primary musical concern. The Cindervoice full-length–by that point 99% recorded and roughly mixed–was set to one side, largely unintentionally.

I always knew I would finish the record, however. Now in May 2010, I am finally returning to Cindervoice. Other than to invest time and care in improving the mix and production, and to complete one vocal that was never recorded, I will not change a thing.

The album–Before the Turn–will finally see the light of day in 2010. The music is too good not to be heard.

These songs got me through hard times. I hope they will do the same for you.

Crucial Blast on Threshold

admin — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 05:17:27 +0000

“…A kind of dark, ominous chamber music/art-pop … shifting from a strange futuristic drone-folk to extended dark drones stretched over fragile strings and minimal piano, bits of low-end rumble rising in the distance … like some ethereal, haunting blend of Kayo Dot and 4AD style gothiness…”

Aquarius Records calls Threshold “a delicate sort of blackened chamber music, quite cinematic, mournful and melancholy, hushed and expansive.”

Thank You…

…to everyone who attended the CD listening party for Threshold, and to the wonderful people at Dana Street Roasting Company for their hospitality. The vibe was amazing, the room was warm, and I can’t thank you enough.
