The Laceration Recordings



Sorry for the lack of updates folks, I've been super busy these past few months. In between work and getting a new puppy, I have been wall-to-wall busy doing something. But in my spare time, I have been vigilantly working on my music. That's what the Laceration Recordings is, a tribute to all my free time in this hectic rat race know as life. When the dust settled, I began working on a new Astroid Andy album, and with it only be 4 songs deep, I can say it is easily going to surpass Shadows in terms of quality. The album, Audiomelancholia should be completed by the end of September. Just thought I'd drop by and leave a small post letting everyone know that I haven't stopped making music and a new album is in the works.

Unearthed Astral Projections! Astroid Andy Presents: Mental Evolution



Okay, just a fare warning, this is not my greatest work. I was messing around a lot with sound manipulation on a bunch of my songs back in 2010 and created around 8 albums all like this, where I take a single song, drastically reduce the BPM, add in a bunch of bizarre sound effects, rearrange and even stack arrangements on top of each other. I like to have all my music accessible online, but unfortunately I was only able to upload 2 of these "Musical Experiments". But with completion of The Laceration Recordings, it'll be a little while before I drop some new music. So I thought I'd treat you, my fans [Astral Projectors] with a blast from the past. These were all but forgotten until I got bored and did an image search of myself on Google and found the cover for Telepathy: Phase 2. So sit back, relax, and wait to hear some of the most bizarre recordings I've ever made with The Mental Evolution Series.







Thus concludes our broadcast day.

The Wait Is Almost Over: Febuary 2015 Update



It's been almost a year since my last update, and in that year I have only officially released one new EP, Room 302. Production on The Laceration Recordings is still ongoing, but the good news is the majority of the album is completed, and can be streamed now. I'm pushing for a February release. The reasons for the delays on the musical front is many: depression, writing and editing my story "Shadows" (which is now over 40 pages long), the release of Kingdom Hearts 2.5 HD Remix & Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition (these games have become something of a super obsession, consuming most of my downtime), work, and a slew of new books. I have been working on music, just not as rapidly as I am used to, giving myself more time to perfect the final product. The Laceration Recordings, as I reported last year, is a split album featuring tracks by Astroid Andy and Temple of Sloth. Jumping off from what I learned from Shadows, I have taken a more focused approach to music production, while integrating new elements previously un-utilized in previous albums. As for the story "Shadows", I can not determine how much longer it will be until I find a good place to stop. The good news is, by the end of Febuary, we will have a new album on our hands, which will most likely be followed up with an EP in tradition of The Sounds of Static EP & From the Shadows EP featuring remixes and B-Sides, as well as a few exclusive tracks. So stay tuned, I will do my best to keep things updated on a more regular basis as things progress. In the meantime, here, stream TLR now!

This concludes our broadcast day.
