city in the dust on my window
this kind of life keeps breaking your heart
mono no aware

maybe they will sing for us tomorrow

The Solaris Project
I posted a note a little over a year ago about some tracks The Solaris Project.
Well, I recently received a copy of the tracks pressed as a CD. Nicely done, and the tracks sound as good today as they did a year ago. If you're into plastic and paper and shipping, you can get a physical copy via CD Baby.
Otherwise, various flavors of downloads are available. Digstation.com Audiolunchbox.com Payplay.fm

Interview with Drew Sullivan of Slow Dancing Society
I’ve always loved the idea of music that has a function or purpose.
Depending on what you mean by "purpose", I can't say I disagree. According to one of my favorite literary theory professors from undergrad, this places Mr. Sullivan firmly on the Augustine side of the great Kant vs. Augustine divide.
Me, I like to slide around depending on, oh, I don't know. Never really figured it out.

"Miniature 3" by Matthew Cooper (Eluvium)
A free mp3 download from the always great Matthew Cooper is available via Pitchfork. A stream of the track is also available. A vinyl release is scheduled for sometime this month. It's a bit synthy, but definitely what you'd expect from Cooper. Quality stuff.
Download Miniature 3 (mp3).

Summer Hiatus
Hello. Took a little summer break from the site. I did a little traveling, watched the European Championship, started learning how to play the guitar, bought a car to get away from New York City on the weekends. For now, back to the music.
Here's a few odds and ends that came to my attention while I was away.
Planet Autostar This is apparently "Planet Geek House." I'm not sure what that means, but a think a few of you might find the streaming tracks available here of interest.
crystalpalace "Chilled electronica from electroset mixologist crystalpalace." I'm not generally one who finds "electronica" to be interesting, but some of the streaming tracks available here are pretty good quality stuff. I assume there's no connection to the famous London football club.
More soon.
