// Sleep Orchestra Update

As some of you may know I myself write music within the experimental music genre and I am currently working on my project Sleep Orchestra which is an experimental ambient music platform.

If you would like to listen to my first steps with Sleep Orchestra, feel free to visit the link below. The page has only just been started and as such still has a lot of work to be done to it but i am working on filling it out soon, but while I am doing that it would be great to start a little bit of a fan base so i can hear what you guys think of my music and I can get back in touch with you.

I look forward to hearing from you guys soon.

// A handful of new things.

Right, so its been a while now but I'm finally able to do some more First-Stage blogs for you. I had gotten a little bogged down with all the other things that life throws at you from left field but I now have a little more time to myself to be able to write some more blogdates.

Firstly:
Diamond Version have released their EP1. I have had some time to listen to some of the tracks and I must say they are mighty impressive considering that the two artists involved (Alva Noto and Byetone) started this project by just doing LIVE performances together as fill gaps at their shows. On the other side I was slightly disappointed with it too. After hearing their music in videos posted to youtube I was looking forward to something more gritty. Ever so often they are able to pull together something that is pure genius but the EP can leave you a little deflated in other tracks.

Secondly:
Diamond Version have released a video on youtube for their EP2 which can be found below.

After listening to this I am thinking that they might be able to sway me back to becoming a believer in them once more. With their new music it sounds much more like what I was expecting the first time around. Then again I was thinking that when i heard the first few things to do with the EP1, so, lets just wait and see.

Thirdly:
Emptyset. Ever heard of them? Well I hadn't until I stumbled unceremoniously across them on raster-noton one time, and I must say that I am very impressed indeed. A future post might be about their latest release so keep those eyes peeled and we'll see what they have to offer.

And Lastly:
NEW VLADISLAV DELAY! Yes, you read that correctly. Assuming that you havent already heard (it is possible) Vladislav Delay has written his follow up to Vantaa and Espoo with Kuopio, which is expected this year. You can listen to a preview mix of the tracks at the link below.
