Hello folks.

The new 2011 album from Phenoplastic is coming up, called "Radians".



How should I describe it? The album is more diverse than previous releases, with a darkness at it's heart, lots of heavy beats, psychedelic flights of fancy and plenty of ambient moments. A lot of effort has gone into the production / mixing side too.

...many of you have been supportive of my stuff in the past and I'm so grateful for your feedback - I hope you'll like this too, and those unfamiliar I urge you to try it out.

There's a preview track here http://soundcloud.com/phenoplastic/interglacial

The full album will be available as free download from March 28th, at bandcamp.com, and also to buy very cheaply on CD, if you contact me.

The website has been updated with new images, links etc. http://www.phenoplastic.com

See you soon, enjoy.

Update - the new album is now available from bandcamp.

Very nice indeed.

Many thanks I think this my favourite of the three albums.

It sounds so machine organic (if that makes sense).

What kind of kit are you using (of course feel free to ignore that geeky question)

Thanks again

Hey Nev

I'm glad you like it, and glad to talk about what I do. I use logic, a ton of plugins / instruments. (and occasional use of my limited guitar & vocal skills) Nearly half of the tracks on "radians" were developed from unheard tracks I did in 1995, which may explain the 'organic' feel you mention coming from sampling these sounds from tapes.

I really pushed myself to work a lot more creatively / thoroughly on the mixing than previously, and am trying to increase the range of techniques I use processing sounds in Logic.

Something I'm looking at doing more is using found sounds - the percussion on 'Frayed and Yellowed' from 'liquid condition' is made entirely from recording all kinds of objects I found lying around at home.

Almost missed this! Where is my hard copy donacidae! ;') Hope to see a listing very soon.

Was just listened to Presented in Colour and spotted this thread. Double-joy - I'd missed Liquid Condition last year!!! D/Ling both now
