Excellent post-rock e-zine has published a new review of A City Out of Sight. Check it out HERE.

Two interesting reflections on new business models for a stubborn music industry:

- from The Artful Manager: When music ‘wants to be free,’ charge for something else
- from Last100: Music industry: Five alternative business models

I’m contributing clean vocals and piano to the next Dormant album, Autumnal Frost, currently in production. Dormant is led by Todd Paulson, the man behind God is Myth Records. I’m very proud to be a part of this work, and to contribute to Todd’s vision. Claudio Alcara (of Frostmoon Eclipse and stroszek) will also contribute. For more details and news on the recording and eventual release, check out the God is Myth Records blog. An early, unmastered mix of the track “Cry of the Wolf” is currently streaming on the Dormant MySpace page.

G.Rosin–the photographer behind A City Out of Sight–now has a new URL and a very nice new photo gallery, along with an online collection of poetry. Highly recommended:

I’ve decided to share interesting essays and reflections by others on music that are worth your time. First up: a very interesting piece by Greg Sandow on the relationship between popular and classical music–and how promoters of classical music so often fail to understand it.
