A lot of good things happening in the past month, recorded my first full length record The Dolphin Key for my solo project "Claymation" at Warming Room Studios, one of my new tracks got some air time on http://upstatesoundscape.com/ hosted by Needles Numark (great radio show out of 91.3 in Buffalo NY 10pm-12am on tues.), been getting some great feedback and networking with fellow artists on Soundcloud.com with some future collaborations in the works. I also got a nice mention today from http://droningearth.blogspot.com/ as well as an invitation to have one of my tracks on an upcoming comp. Needless to say I'm really excited about how things are going with Claymation and I already have my next two records planned out.
The follow up record to "The Dolphin Key" is going to be a collaborative effort with some local and non-local musicians. I will be working on these tracks over the next few months with the guest musicians who will each be contributing to separate tracks. I'm hoping for a fall/winter release for this record but timing and coordination will dictate how quickly things get done.
I will also be working on a series of field recordings over the next few months that will be used for another record, possibly an early 2012 release or even closer to the collaboration release. I did some field recordings a few years back at the Rensselaer train station and under the 787 under pass down by the Corning Preserve. They both yielded decent results minus the Police interference at the train station, someone thought I was a terrorist pointing a gun at the train so they called it in and kept the train from departing. The cops and I ended up laughing about it in the end and the train finally pulled away giving me the sounds I'd been waiting for in the first place.
In the next few months I'm excited to get both of these records in the works, as well some online collaborative material. I think I will be busy, but that is a good thing. In the meantime, stay tuned for the release of The Dolphin Key by Claymation, my first full length, and get lifted!!
