R010R feat. I, Parasite and 50 cent!

The long silence has ended. The 2nd campaign of R010R, the hybrid noise/evolved electro music project returns with a vengeance in true 21st century form.



The new digi-single DIST embodied will prepare you for the upcoming LP. DIST embodied is a collaborative track between R010R & I, Parasite. Featuring Christopher Jon's unique vocal style over extremely addictive and accessible electro-industrial music. Two mixes are available in this release. Accompanied by two more "b-side", tracks. This idea was taken directly from the golden age of industrial music. Where singles and exclusive b-sides could hold their own in the annals of our rusted history. The additions, Resistance and Self-Preservation were finished and made exclusive for this release. Resistance is the last working track of the group Noise Process. Completely redesigned and remixed for this project. Self-Preservation was cut off the forthcoming album End.Of.All.Reason which is already full at 77min. A lot of work was put into all of these tracks, Im sure you will notice the detail. Once again, everything was mastered by Ingo Beitz of kAlte fArben for specific qualities and intentions.













Oh yeah!? You are wondering where 50 cent fits in here. Well the tracks are available exclusively at http://soillodge.bandcamp.com [starting 03-01-2010]where you will find them in any digital format you wish for a mere 50 cents USD each. So you can get this entire digi-single directly from me for a measly $2 USD. This will not be on any other digital aggregators, and thus I appreciate any promotions you may do on your own telling your friends and colleagues about the release. All proceeds are going into the production of the new LP CD and it's special edition packaging.

End.Of.All.Reason
will be released this summer and takes great lengths to build on the sounds and ideas of R010R.

Progress Report Update



Updated Progress Report Listing:
01. the writers cage [100%]
02. acculturation problem [100%]
03. abstraction algorithm [100$]
04. shadow of a doubt [100%]
05. DIST embodied [100%]
06. this was escape [100%]
07. trust in decay [100%]
08. brilliant decline [100%]
09. idiom [90%]
10. dead pulsar [100%]
11. en force [95%]
12. suicide pact [100%]
13. a thousand year deceit [100%]
14. an uneasy respite [100%]
15. our collapsed star [100%]

Today I am working on re-doing the vocals for "en force", a very EBM influenced track that started out minimal and became very complex. I am going to keep it's complexities but I want to feature a very minimal EBM vocal approach and shorten the track considerably. I am already out of space on the album and I do not want to omit any tracks that made the cut.

The "DIST embodied", single is also coming along nicely. Ingo is mastering the 2 actual "DIST embodied", mixes and I just finished one of the B-sides, entitled "Resistance". Working on the final track right now, which at the moment is called R010R24. I title all my ideas by numbers before they become songs and adopt names. I am currently in the 40's with R010R ideas. 24 was made immediately after "Gradual Destabilization". It did not make the cut for the END album because I found upon reopening it that I lost all my drum kit sounds in an HD transfer. SO I am rebuilding the track from the scratch MIDI and the few WAVs I dropped in the folder. It is turning out even better than before. I am really happy overall with how this "Dist embodied", single release is turning out. More info very soon.

Here is a new desktop design for promotion of the LP. Low rez, dirty industrial, optimized for 1680 width screen to be used with a black background.

Recording Journal: November

Change of plans. The LP "End.Of.All.Reason" will be released early in 2010. I would have to rush things to get it done in time and I am still nitpicking little inconsistencies. Also Ingo is very busy with his own album, it will take him some time to finish the mastering.

So I have decided to release a digital single with 4 tracks much sooner. "DIST embodied", was a track I did collaborating with I, Parasite earlier this year. The single will feature a club cut mix and the LP mix of the track, as well as two b-sides. One was omitted from "End.Of.All.Reason", because of space, and the other is the final Noise Process track that I was putting together before the project went defunct. Completely rewritten and R010Rized..

This single will only be available through a special R010R site that I will announce when the time comes. Until then check out the new clips at: soillodge @ ning and gear up for more content and new releases as 2009 finally draws to a close.

Recording Journal [October]

R010R - End.Of.All.Reason
[progress report]

01. the writers cage [100%]
02. acculturation problem [100%]
03. abstraction algorithm [100$]
04. shadow of a doubt [95%]
05. DIST embodied [100%]
06. this was escape [100%]
07. trust in decay [95%]
08. brilliant decline [100%]
09. idiom [90%]
10. dead pulsar [100%]
11. en force [95%]
12. suicide pact [90%]
13. a thousand year deceit [95%]
14. untitled [80%]
15. our collapsed star [95%]

Main focus is lyrics and vocals for "idiom", completion of vocals for "suicide pact", and decision on vocals or instrumental for the untitled track. Everything else at 90-95% is just attention to detail production items. I am going to start sending the completed tracks for mastering to further the process and attempt to make the end of 2009 release date. I do not want to rush anything, but I want to get this LP out as soon as I can. However I will not compromise ideas and if this means the LP is delayed until I am happy with specifics, so be it.

Recording Journal Week...uh. I lost count :P

Been so damn busy I have not been able to keep up with the journal. I did some remixes, an exclusive R010R track and an exclusive Advent Dawn track for some compilations. When they are released I will get more info.

For now though, I have no new images, but I have a track off the album for you to hear at: http://soundcloud.com/soillodge/abstraction-algorithum [yes I misspelled algorithm, I tired to fix it but Soundcloud edit will not budge.]

There you can also get a taste of my brand new minimal electro indie rock en devour "Chinese Sheetrock!"

More info soon. I promise this time. The album is almost completed and I am working on figure out a schedule with Ingo for mastering it. Time flies though, and I am deeply into US politics and our national situation. Anger makes great Industrial content..
