New TapeSounds Album- Yugen

Syberia · Post by **Syberia** » Mon Sep 17, 2012 5:29 pm

I've been listening to you music every spare moment this weekend and I really love it! The album you did with Bearhead is incredible! I will keep my eyes on you from now on

Oh wow thanks! Yeah I'm pretty proud of the bearhead collab- his stuff on the split is really damned good.

I have plenty of material I could upload to my bandcamp but it's all very old and eclectic.. perhaps I could put some of it up in the meantime.

But sounds good, I will certainly keep people updated on this new thing when I get to it.

Oh and btw if you haven't checked out this thing on my bandcamp- http://maketapesounds.bandcamp.com/albu ... apes-vol-5

it's a collection of sorta sounding boards of canada stuff from wayyyy back. It's very lofi. But yeah the new stuff I'm working on should be in a similar vein as this but a little more mature I'd say.

I will dig through all you music and I would be happy to listen to you old music too so please upload

I'm listening to Old and Lost Tapes Vol. 5 now and I really like what I hear! Very nostalgic. Thanks!

Cool, I'll definitely upload some stuff soon. Thanks for the comments!

Thanks man. Yeah whenever I finish something new I always give it a listen and create some kind of art to go with it. I kinda stole that idea from Devendra Banhart lol.

Bump. I tend to return to my cds too much but once again I'm proud of this.

Anddd come november or december there will be another release. I already have a lot of material in the works.

As you very well should be. This is twoism, and you are making music that is exactly the sort of thing that many people here would appreciate. The more self-promotion the better, in this case!

This is fantabulous... how did I miss this thread?

It's quite easy to miss good stuff on twoism... I constantly overlook great posts. But thank you sir I appreciate it!

Last time I shall bump this before new material... come winter when I'm away from college shenanigans there will be some serious new music.

Really digging this one, man. I love the texture of the guitar at the end. Really warbly and crunchy.

You could do another Yugen-length record of 'B-sides and outtakes', perhaps. I would certainly download it. Frankly, your music doesn't really need anything cohesive holding it together - I tend to just look at your records as a collection of somewhat disorganized eclectic short gems.

Very nice, as usual.

p.s. That reminds me: I was watching the Alfred Hitchcock film "Vertigo" yesterday evening, and when Grace Kelly said the bit about "Dying is only a moment for you" I immediately thought, "HOLY SHIT! TAPE SOUNDS SAMPLE!"

Yeah I'll try to upload some stuff in the near future. There's a ton of old old stuff and random tunes. If you haven't you can check out all of the old and lost tapes.. that's various material that's been recorded over the years which is up on my bandcamp.

And I'm hoping to start making more coherent albums- the idea of a concept album almost is really interesting to me.. I've kinda wanted to do something along those lines for a while.

Thanks. And hahaha that's awesome- yeah later on I realized where the sample was from, I had originally recorded it from a scene in 12 monkeys where they're watching the Hitchcock film in a theatre.

The whole "sea salt" song was made from a sample of the creepy textures playing in the background of that film.

You know what. If my hits gets to 2k on bandcamp by the next two weeks I'll put out an ep.
