Many many thanks to Sean Cooper for his review and in depth thoughts about the first Minorarc release, available on the new reviews page here.

A sincere Thank You to everyone who came along to our first gig as a band… we really appreciate it. I am also deeply thankful to Ben and Brett for their hard work leading up to this concert, and their willingness to give some of our less structured work a go. Also, big thanks to everyone who has downloaded, purchased, and given feedback on the album so far.

Enjoying the effects send to a mountain of reverb.

So… tonight is our first live show as a band, incorporating all the guest artists who were involved in the recording of our debut album… This is a big day for us! The debut album is now officially out, and the new DEBUT RELEASE page has been updated to reflect this, and lists the various free and purchase options available.

You can now pre order the first ever Minorarc CD at the Dawn Industry Shop Here.

After the release date (26th November) there will also be a 320kbps mp3 download version of the album available for purchase, and a free 128kbps (lo-fi) stream.

As the final work on our first release nears completion… we need to thank a couple of people who have let us borrow their ears… and help us through the final edits. Ben Smith of Cassandra’s Myth has been incredible with his patience and excellent feedback, and Richard of theunsoundproject was kind enough to let us into a secret Melbourne studio to go through all the tracks and check frequencies on decent monitors.

And as the time nears… so does our first live appearance as a band! To celebrate the release we are performing at Enzyme 15 on the 26th November.

The release is planned as a 15 track CD, hand stamped and packaged in a mono recycled stock sleeve. A downloadable version will also be available, although most likely only as a shortened EP version (yes, we still believe in the concept of an “album”, and do not believe CD is quite extinct… yet). Both will be available in the Dawn Industry Shop in the days following the release.

A quick note that anyone interested in submitting their Blind Remix for inclusion on our debut CD (for release November 26th 2010), has 19 days left until the due date (end of October). We greatly look forward to hearing what our musical friends and colleagues have created from our sample packs!

Final mixing of our CD is rapidly nearing completion and we greatly appreciate the assistance from everyone who has been involved in testing and providing feedback in these crucial (and often frustrating) final stages.

November 26th 2010… is the current planned release date for our debut CD! It is likely  that a downloadable version will also be available. The disc has been created as an album, and not individual tracks to shuffle… so we hope you will enjoy it that way, and loud!

The release party will most likely be held at the last Enzyme event of the year, and who knows, we might even manage a live performance…

We wish our Blind remixers the best of luck and can’t wait to hear what becomes of our sounds!

The time has arrived! We are inviting musicians and friends to remix and construct tracks from samples and audio takes created whilst we were in the process of recording our debut album (due for release late 2010). For something new, you are not remixing finished songs, but instead creating new ones, from our samples and your own input.

We plan on including any submitted final tracks either on our debut CD as bonus tracks, or if enough submissions are supplied we will release a whole seperate Blind disc!

Your finished tracks need to be supplied to us either via email as links to downloadable .wav files, or as audio on CD, by THE END OF OCTOBER. Please include your email address, band/project name, track title and URL with your submissions.

Please read the text file contained in the zip download package for the rights of use regarding the samples.
