I recorded a guitar melody on my tascam. Then I had a keyboard player fill in some bass and keyboards. I added a little bit of an amp effect post mix. A meditative trancey type of song. I thought my guitar was tuned to 444 hz which is what I have been doing lately but that didn't sound right. We did the keyboards in 442. Seemed to work.

Samuel Regan - Acousma (Single) 

______________________________ 

We are happy to welcome back Oklahoma native Samuel Regan for the first single "Acousma" from the upcoming "Behind Veils" LP. Samuel has been attending Mills Collage in Oakland, CA and has also been busy with new aspirations in digital synthesis and sound design while pursuing his degree in electronic music. This work represents another milestone for the artist and we are pleased to share it with all of you. 

Full length album coming summer 2020...stay tuned! 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*a note from the artist: 

I'm thrilled to present my new full length album, Behind Veils. It's my ninth studio album and first release since early 2018. I share it with more pride than any past work, as a culmination of visions and ideas and a taste of what's to come. 

The music arose from a two-year trip into synthesis and digital signal processing, which seem somehow endowed with infinitude and fraught with illusions of control and choice. They can shape sounds that emerge as living and breathing entities: filling uncanny spaces as geometries viewed from impossible vantage points. The songs guide these artifacts out into the daylight to dance and unfold like gestures in their own language. Their subjects include illusion, ecology, philosophy and psychedelia; the theatrical and the paradoxical - which all seem speak to us from behind a veil. 

I hope the music finds you healthy and well. There are so many challenging days behind and ahead of us - when things get hard, sometime meaning collapses and there's no music, and that's okay. An optimism runs through some of these sounds that won't always resonate, but they'll welcome you back... Sometimes an escape into unreality can be the loveliest medicine.

Emba - Paragraphs [Sampl3r]

Ned Lagin's Seastones is a pioneering electronic composition interweaving metaphors from nature, science, art and music and the origins of music. Reflecting the technology, science, modern art, new ecological awareness and optimism of the times and culture, Seastones embodies the history of electronic music by taking full advantage of tape music, analog synthesizers and computer technology to create pieces that are dynamic, rich and deep.

Originally released by the Grateful Dead's Round Records in 1975, Seastones' reputation as a gem of electronic music was further enhanced by the celebrity of the musicians who contributed to the source material. Seastones musicians include Ned Lagin (processed piano, clavichord, organ, prepared piano, electric piano, synthesizers), Jerry Garcia (processed electric guitar, pedal steel guitar, voice), Phil Lesh (processed electric bass), David Crosby processed electric guitar and vocals), Grace Slick and David Freiberg (processed vocals), and Mickey Hart and Spencer Dryden (percussion).

This new LP presents two crafted Seastones sets (Sets 4 and 5, 18 tracks) drawn from the entire Seastones composition and contains gorgeous extended processed vocals by Garcia, Crosby, Slick and Freiberg, and beautiful abstract instrumental passages by Lagin and all.

It was back in February 2012 that Michel contacted me to say he had sent me an mp3 "with a funny melody". "I am just wondering if you can play that. Exactly with the same tuning", he said. I had a listen and thought "You must be joking", as what I was presented with appeared to have no fixed notes nor conventional tuning, and sounded almost impossible to play. (I learnt later that the synthesized tune he had sent me was a melodic tracking - via software - of the musical pitches inherent in the voice of a man talking, recorded in Ghana by his friend Mark Dingemanse from the Radboud University). I put the strange sounding melody on repeat so that I could listen to it again and again, and by playing along continuously with it I eventually found the required notes on the trombone. After a week I could play the whole thing. And that was 2012. More recently, I found myself thinking, "Whatever happened to that tune". I had done a lot of work on it, and it seemed to have disappeared with no resulting composition appearing. So, I searched through my archives, found mine and Michel's original recordings, and played around with them until I had the beginnings of something coherent. At this point I contacted Michel, and he performed his usual magic, and eight years later we have our composition! Over the years Michel and I have occasionally swapped musical ideas, and our 'B-side' is the result of another such exchange, from a recording a year earlier.

"This album is the result of a rich week of exploration in the forest,
by the waterfalls, in the mountains.
A week surrounded by my best friends and rich in hikes.
Improvisation and composition at the modular
and at the piano combine for this work."
