Updates...
by Chris Randall
The compilation has been mastered; I'm just waiting for the upload of the digital version from SAE. Some updates on that front: the name of the album is now "unsuspected sounds." This is from an Edgard Var?se quote I've always liked. The entirety is thus:
I dream of instruments obedient to my thought and which with their contribution of a whole new world of unsuspected sounds, will lend themselves to the exigencies of my inner rhythm.
He said this in an interview you can find in the book Classic Essays On Twentieth-Century Music. The majority of the content is fairly precious from our lofty position in the year 2012; you need to constantly remind yourself of technological context, else these guys come off as incredibly pretentious.
In any event, the cover art is done, as well. I created the front piece using a Processing sketch written by Stefan Goodchild (who also, you may remember, did the portraits for the Pioneers Of Electronic Music t-shirt series we did a couple years ago.) This sketch created a circular motif from the audio waveform of the entire album and pooped out a vector that I could lay right in to Illustrator un-altered. I'm just waiting for final approval of the audio from the mastering, and sequence notes from the mastering engineer, and I'll order the jackets and labels and start the pressing process.
I have unilaterally decided to give the proceeds from the album sale, assuming there are any (I am killing one of my credit cards to pull this whole thing off), to the Breast Assured Foundation. Because, after all, this is an Analog Industries compilation, and I can't speak for other on-line communities, but around here, we're with boobs.
In other news, just finishing up the Tattoo 64-bit update; barring unforeseen circumstances, that should be up Monday. After that, just Ronin, Fuzz+ 2.2, and PulseModulator. Then we can get back to the business of making plug-ins. If we still remember how, that is. Our next product is almost certainly going to be a percussion instrument; I'm doing the design now while Adam polishes off these last couple updates.

Congrats, when Medicare gave my Mom the runaround with her Breast Cancer a charity fund stepped up. Awesome...
