D3viant 3xperiment

D3viant 3xperiment is now on Last•fm. Seven full-length singles are now available for anyone to listen to, LastFM and non-LastFM listener alike.

This project artist has been one of my favorites from the label since her first few tracks, and carries with it the energies of previous projects while adding more depth to the sampling and soundwork.

What's in a Seed?

Trochlear. We're 7 guns down n a man behind. Not just any man, but the father of Trochlear. This marks the 2nd great blow to strike Trochlear... and just as we were recovering from the 1st. The first blow was the loss of Karma Download--our supplier and channel for promotions. Without the actions taken by Supa n I, it's certain there would b no future for Trochlear.

My thanks to Supa for the time she put in while sick n working 2 other jobs!

For an update of what's going on in the background as I write this...

Trochlear Recordings Limited is being divided into these 3 branches:

Trochlear Rex: The music label for Mushuto's works, as well as Supa's and my own, to be produced and sold under. Rights and trademarks for our works fall under this, as do legal contracts such as extended rights and cooberations.

Trochlear Medz: Trochlear Media is the outlet for our visual works, both music-related and beyond. All 3 Trochlear artists extend their creative capacities well beyond the audio elements.

Trochlear Pro: Trochlear gets fuzzy here, as it extends its scope to include other talented artists who share in a love of music. Trochlear Promotions isn't limited to electronica, and is founded on the idea that more high quality artists gathered in the same space can only improve the quality of that space, and draw others with even greater gravity.

Beyond these 3, Maya Ava of Dharma Mixing will be using much Trochlear material as the consciousness thru music company goes live in a month.

As the last Trochlear website is lost, a new one is being designed. All 3 branches of Trochlear will be represented.

Final tweaks to the new promotional and distribution schema are scheduled to go live this October. Supa n I have a lot to cover around that time. A lot is going on that simply isn't seen.

For now, 2008 must be spent in preparation so that this seed that is Trochear may bear fruit. Down... but never out.

Best regards.

This is the message that I received back when querying whether or not the messages I'd received about friend and co-owner Jared Newby were true. The lady on the phone at the Statesmen assured me that it had been filed by the morgue, and that it was indeed true. It has been over a month since I heard the news, which was, itself, almost a month late in reaching me. There has been a lot of work done in that time in order to gather the label back together and re-organize our efforts, as well as ensure that Jared's works live beyond him.

It has been good work... fulfilling work. Today... this blog will be re-born at least in image, in preparation for the future. Images, sounds and more from all over the Net have all been saved and archived for future use. Today is yesterday's end, and tomorrow soon sets on us all.

Burn bright. Stay lit.
