Release Schedule & More!

Starting soon, I’ll be experimenting with a new release schedule/business model. I’ll be releasing digital 2 or 3 song singles or EPs a lot more frequently, probably using the “pay-what-you-want” option using Bandcamp. At the end of the year, there will be a “Best of/Unreleased/Remix” full album that will be released through all of the major digital outlets, with a possible limited CD run.

This will allow a lot more stylistic freedom, as well as economical freedom. I’m tired of sitting for months on what I think are good tracks while I try to get a full album to come together, only to realize that it really sounds like 2 or 3 different projects. With this new model, I can release a powernoise single one month, and a more drum n bass influenced single next month, and they can all stand on their own, without falling into the trap of creating “filler” material.

Economically, there are a ton of benefits. Most people seem to have an easier time rationalizing spending $2-$5 every month or two, instead of a one-time $10 (or more for CD+shipping). Throughout the year, this adds the possibility of funding the end of year release as a special edition.

And along with this, I will soon be announcing the new label that I’ll be forming to handle these Sinsect releases, along with my side projects Traumamatik & Buglien. More news coming soon on those as well.

I’m currently shooting for the first of these Sinsect EPs to be ready in May or June, and the output will be fairly steady from that point on, with new material every 6-8 weeks.

As always, I’m definitely open to any advise, input and help from masses.
