Ramblings of Altus

I’ve been silent, but silently working.
I figured I’d give you guys an update on what’s coming for the rest of this year, and a couple of upcoming releases planned for 2011.

Crossroads (working title – this might change)
Release Date: Late Summer / Early Fall
This is a collaboration with Bulgarian artist trx, and will be different from anything you’ve heard from my solo releases. IDM/glitch/ambient with some minor 90s techno/trance influences. Two tracks on this release are based on pre-Altus music I wrote in the mid-nineties, re-written from the ground up.

Sleep Theory I (new series)
Release Date: End of 2010
Introducing a new series delving into deep ambient, similar in nature to fan favourite Coma Cluster. This new series will fill the void of drone and texture-style ambient, without the foreboding/creepy elements usually prevalent in those music genres. It’s main purpose is meant to be played during the late night-time period. Think of it as a comforting blanket of sound to lull you to sleep.

ECOTONE
Release Date: 2011
I’ve had this concept in mind for years, and I plan on finally getting it done next year. I’m still working on the details, but right now I have planned it sounding similar to The Wanderer and some elements of Only One Earth to Destroy.

Excursion Three
Release Date: 2011
Yet another fan favourite series, you can expect more lush, melodic, slowly moving yet progressive music.
