Omens

August 2, 2010 at 10:33 am

While some say that the red sun that lingered over Cascadia yesterday was merely the result of smoke plumes from British Columbia drifting through the air over the Puget Sound, we choose to think of it as an omen, a portent for things to come.

First, we have a collection of remixes from the recent Miniature Airlines album Arrivals & Departures. Since the album’s release, a group of the finest producers from Cascadia and beyond have been tirelessly deconstructing, reconstructing, rearranging, and manipulating bits and pieces of these songs, and the results are stunning. If all goes well, this collection of 10 tracks will be up on the d.iscontent Server of Doom by next Tuesday, just waiting for you to download it.

And as if one upcoming release wasn’t enough, we’d also like to remind you that Hjalti’s next epic musical journey is nearing completion. The as-yet-untitled opus has been revised, refined, and extended over a series of months, and has already been performed twice in partial, incomplete form. In fact, you can hear a preview of the in-progress version right here. If all goes well, we’ll be able to hear this in it’s final form this Fall. Stay tuned…

Finally, if you’d like to see a live preview of the new Hjalti album, along with a set by Miniature Airlines, plus a special guest or two, keep your eyes opened for our next live performance later this month. Naturally, details will be posted here  soon. It will be a free, outdoor show, so you have no excuse to miss it.
