URBAN RENEWAL PROGRAM

Seems like it has been quiet lately, but that is because I have been very busy. Around the beginning of the year I decided to explore another sound. Last year I really got into dubstep, and all the different variations of that sound. From the heavily edited digital stuff, to the very analog "dub" style garage demo music. And everything in-between.


One thing I noticed during this, was how much early dubstep and what is now being called post-dubstep, has in common with EBM. Similar drum sound approaches. Very bass laden with a sort of junk garage etiquette. I wanted to see how well I could sort-of mash them together.


The new EP is called Urban Renewal Program. It will be on BandCamp soon. Free, because that is how I roll. :P

Anna Spence featured at two Film galas

My friend and artistic colleague Anna Spence [http://www.anna-spence.com] just shared some great news with me. Our collaborative video "Memory Lapse", has been accepted at the Wonderroot’s Generally Local Mostly Independent Filmmaker’s Night exhibition. This will be great reception and promotion for her work, as well as my own. Very excited about it.

Then she just received news that she was accepted into the Experimental category for the Atlanta Film Festival! This time the highlighted video's are "Let's Get Ostracized", from the collaborative THE.ATTACK.silence project, and "Memory Lapse", our latest collaboration.

Cheers Anna! These are some well deserved victories for your work :D

Happy New Year

Then LowHero.DLL released "Worse Than Digital". An epic extended EP. I did a dirty dubstep version of the track "Roman Holiday", that turned out pretty neat:

Loaded with ominous electro bass lines, strong rhythms, and edgy, noisy synths, LowHero.DLL continues to find some gray area between catchy pop song and the proverbial head-thumper.

2. Worse Than Digital 04:37
3. Chartreuse 05:58
4. The Ballad 04:08

9. Roman Holiday (Wreckstep Remix by R010R) 05:25

Enter Curxes

I don't usually post about other artists on my blog. In this case however I feel I need to make an exception.


I really got into doing music because I love listening to and especially discovering new music. There are so many bands out there, it's really mind boggling. So when a band stands out of the crowd I always feel compelled to spread the work. To get people out of their shells and LISTEN.


Curxes is a band I can really relate to. They seem to take all the elements of 80's electro and goth music, breath new life into it, and then present it in an original way. I have always had a soft spot for British bands anyhow. Everyone knows my favourite band is COIL. I have made it pretty obvious. When I was growing up though I was also huge into the goth rock movement. Siouxsie, Bauhaus, The Sisters of Mercy, The Cure [come on, only a communist or a person without a soul would not like The Cure, and i'm not even really certain about the communist] I also really got into what is now considered synth rock or synthpop. Duran Duran, Ultravox, Gary Numan, Soft Cell, and Depeche Mode. I just fucking love music really.


Somewhere here I lost my point.


Oh yeah- the other day I heard this track:
http://soundcloud.com/curxes/onceuponatime


And I was completely blown away. The first thing that hit me is that immense synth bass pad thing. Totally sounds analog and it is so overwhelming. I love it. Then the vocalist comes in. Has this brilliant style and sense of melody. The two parts really contrast and compliment each other. I quickly found that this combination was present on every single track. Especially "Spires", where it is just that immense atmosphere along side the vocals. Gripping track really. I get chills.
Spires by CURXES


So really, enough bullshitting around. I just wanted to show my immense support for this band. My utmost gratitude that they sent me a CD and my best wishes for their long and successful journey into the music world. I am very happy to have discovered Curxes and their art.

studio update

Two new R010R tracks-in-process have populated on SoundCloud:
R010R- One[demo] by soillodge
R010R-ten-DAYBREAK[work_in_progress] by soillodge

Both from the forthcoming EP that I will get around to releasing eventually.

I also have been working on some collaborations and remixes. One of which i recently finished and dropped on SC for a free download to help promote the band Icy Lions
