Heya good folks! I'm a british musician type living in Switzerland. Fell in love with Prog via Genesis, Yes, Marillion, Camel, BJH and the like... first proper Prog album I heard was Trick of the Tail and I was hooked from the opening bars. Though I enjoy a wide spectrum of Prog and other musiks my soft spot is still with the symphies :) I write songs, dabble in a few electronica/sample based chill projects, primarily Ethnomorph & Dub Monk I also sing & write lyrics for Swiss prog band RAK. We are currently mixing our second album called Book of Flight and will work with cover artist Mark WIlkinson again. We have a new facebook page (old one is down for now) at http://listn.to/Rak The music player has complete tracks instead of just the samples and also has a rare track by Rak's predecessor, Thonk, to download at the bottom of the playlist. We are starting to sniff around for gigs in europe & the UK in Summer 2011 :) Well thats more Rak news than introduction but hi to you all. My, this place has grown since i was here a few years back!

Thanks man! There is increasing talk of Lepidoptera being remixed/remastered as well as some parts re-recorded. The recording & mixing sessions were very rushed compared to the amount of time it took to write the damn thing :) I had taken a few years away from Prog... throwing myself into the worlds of Dub & the like. Its great to have so much to be able to catch up on. I was just enjoying your Omniscient work and have a question for you. I'm trying to find the name of a recent comedy movie I saw about a musique concrête artist. The film had musical scenes involving kicking a bucket full of nails on a chain and a storyline involving a more successful generic commercial artist brother as well as other avant garde visual artists.... one finding a nasty end under the weight of one of his bovine installations. Ring any bells? Cheers Zozzy |
