Kashmir Boots EP

For anyone who may be interested, I'm presenting my EP here. I decided I needed to take a big break from everything related to producing art. I removed my Myspace, I have no audio tools installed anymore. I always wanted to give this album a proper release with proper artwork, but at this moment I have no creative energy for all that. I thought it would be a shame if I didn't release it at all, so I'm now presenting it in a humble way here on Twoism. The EP is untitled, and unfinished in the sense that it is not mastered and there is room for improvement at some points. Despite its short running time (16m42s according to Winamp) it was in the making for some 1.5 years (I made more material in this period, but selected only the best), and each of the twelve tracks gave me a great satisfaction as an artist. I hope you can feel it, thanks for listening.

Very very good!!
I like all of those tracks.
Great work, very BoCcy inspired.

One tiny tiny thing: maybe you shouldn't have used the same rythem 'tick' sample in all the tracks which have a 'tick'.

Love it Guido!

This is excellent.

It falls in its own genre and is really an honest and talented piece of work. There is a perfectly defined aesthetic feel to it, holding the tracks together, while letting each one explore the extents of the sound space. The percussion is truly original, and the use of sound clips from movies and such is seamlessly done.

Ahh, so good on a cold, crisp day... I highly recommend that you all give this a good listen.

Love your sound, especially the atmosphere you create by using spoken text. Have played it several times and probably continue to do so. Very nice!

Turn off the lights, light some candles and put this EP on for a spin in the dark. The eerie waves will take you on a journey in a dismal atmosphere of beautiful sound.

Thanks for sharing, most appreciated.

Someone please give Guido some inspiration!

I was priviledged to hear this little gem a while ago. The atmosphere is fragile and still pretty unique to my ears!

absoltuely! i can't wait to hear some "full tracks" from him, there are so many good ideas packed into this album here. its so beautiful and original to listen to. i also find the listening very effortless, like that part of my brain just wants to soak it in. there are a fair few musicians on here that i find that with the music they make. definitely on the other end of the spectrum as autechre!

keep it up, guido! you got a myspace or anything so we can keep track of what your working on?

Guido, really liking what I hear! It's a shame you're struggling with energy....you've got some real talent.

hexagon son · Post by **hexagon son** » Sun Jan 10, 2010 5:44 am

this EP is still getting more listens than anything else i have since i DL'ed it, and that includes full price albums. any news on future projects or anything? i'm hungry for more!

Thanks all!

Hexagon Son: Any favourite tracks?

I'm currently on a little musicmaking hiatus but all the positive feedback here definitely inspires me to start composing again sometime in the future.

seriously, the whole damn EP is amazing, balls to bones. love your sound! fave's, hmm tough but:

-Before Sunrise
-De Nachtvlinder
-Giebelfee
-Pierrot
-14-10-2006

i think the only critique i have is that i wish your tracks were "full length", i certainly think the tracks i have listed have enough personality to them to be so. look forward to anything you come out with in the future!

Once again lovely!

(you're saving some for OoT4, I hope?)

I uploaded a new version of the EP to my server. It now contains 17 songs instead of 12 which were present in the initial version. I know it's kind of odd to release newer version of an album or EP, but consider this one a work-in-progress for now.

Feedback is appreciated as always!
