Tracks 21-24 Added!

This might be the end of the line.

I can't pin down an exact reason — I feel like I can continue, I'm still happy with what I'm producing — and yet, i've increasingly felt that I would stop before the month was over.  Today, I think , is the first day that the feeling is strong enough I won't produce a new track.  My only regret is I didn't go out on a stronger note.

Ultimately, I think this stopped being an exercise in one-off tracks, and became an album — I have a name, cover art, the works — and now, this is an album that's over an hour long.  That's about as long as I'm comfortable letting an album get.

But I'm rambling and I'm not sure I have a point to make here.  I suppose I'm saying this because i'm not giving up, please don't put in the papers that i gave up I'd rather not just stop, and leave people wondering why.

But you're here for music.  Here's the newest (and possibly final) additions:

"Draped in the Abject Raiment", an etude for distorted feedback.  An plain synth traces a simple melody woven into a harsh soundscape.

"Burnished Amber Silhouette Aflame", began with a simple question: what if I wrote a song with three bass synths?  The result came together well, a energetic piece with a few surprises.

"A Lighthouse Still Seen"  was an attempt at atonality (serialism, in fact, thought no transformation of the tone row occurs), a simple duet of synths.

"Like Candles Guttering Upon the Firmament" is the send off for this album (though I'll not it was composed --10-21).  Another slowpaced, almost ambient work, a impersonal yet warm soundscape that acts as a backdrop for poetry, as if in reprise of "A Well-kept Garden".
