The Andy Day Project



There comes a time when I join forces musically, blending both of my musical persona into a single track. This has happened on several occasions, slipping in anywhere from 23 to 75 bars of hand written Temple of Sloth synth along side my manipulated sound clips of Astroid Andy. Most of the time they go unnoticed. Other times they become very apparent, and it is these instances that have spawned a new musical project I plan to take on. The Andy Day Project will consist of songs combining both styles of my music into one song, showing the best sounds each style has to offer. The first album will be for the Temple of Sloth Saga, and the current title is Rise of the Temple of Sloth. The first official song by The Andy Day Project will be released on the bonus disc for "The Process of Decay". I then plan to work on an Astroid Andy Remix EP Series under this new musical plane. The remixes will consist of songs from the following Astroid Andy albums: Sanctuary 1 & 2, Astral Plane [EP], Decomposed, Skin, and Consumed [2-Disc Deluxe Edition], and take on Temple of Sloth's Masochism, The Process of Decay, Her Blood:My Lips, and Inside by adding drums, additional written material including strings and piano, while including manipulated sound loops. Most of the songs will be able to fall into the Temple of Sloth Saga with a few exceptions. The first unofficial release of a The Andy Day Project album is Inside the Temple of Sloth, found at www.astroidandy.bandcamp.com. So be on the look out, and I will post more news as this project progresses.

Now, the first outing isn't what it will be like now. When I made this, I had just discovered how to utilize the synthesizer that's used to compose the world of Sloth. So this is more of a demo. It was released around the "Transcendence Into Oblivion/In Sanity Era" when I was still figuring out effects, BPM, reverb, and distortion techniques. The newer TADP will have a much more refined tone, there will be a 6 song remix EP released prior to the full length "Rise of the Temple". These remixes will all be from Sanctuary 1 & 2, giving you a better look at what to expect when hearing the full length album. Dates for these releases still vary, but I want to have "Rise" out by January, and the remix EP out by November, following the proper release of TOS's Process of Decay.

So here's the direct link to The Andy Day Project's demo "Inside the Temple of Sloth"

Thus Concludes Our Broadcast Day:
Astral Productions - Signing Off
