Compulsive Recordings

After releasing You Can’t Be The King I thought I’d upgrade my recording equipment. But instead I sold my flat and put all my gear in storage. So for the past two months all I’ve had is an acoustic guitar, but I’m still working on some new material.

I holed up at a friend’s house last week to record some demos with only a mic and a laptop. I managed to record 11 demos in three days of which a few will definitely make it on to my next release in some form.

So here’s a preview of a short song Gold Pushin’ which will probably find it’s way on to the album, to be called VIA. Stay tuned.

Gold Pushin’ by Acting School

Here is the full release of my solo project You Can’t Be The King. It was written and recorded in my front room in East London. You can download it free here (93MB 320kbps MP3s) or listen via Soundcloud below. Pass it on. You can follow me on twitter here @nicmulvaney

In 1977 a golden record was produced as a documentation of our earth and it’s inhabitants. This included photos, diagrams, music, sounds and greetings. It was attached to the voyager and sent on a mission in to deep space. This record is the farthest man-made object from our earth. It has now left our solar system.

LONER is an auditory interpretation of the golden disc. Inspired by writings and listening concepts from John Cage. This is a fuzzy soundscape, restricted in frequency, using only sounds from the original golden disc. Samples were taken from the golden disc and edited before each track was created in one live take. No looking back.

Thunderous crescendos, hypnotic loops and snippets of human song speeding through space in eerie silence.

TRACK LISTING
