It’s been a while since I’ve given an update, so I thought I’d drop in and let everyone know what has been happening.

Work on the new album is progressing, but it’s been slow since I’ve been working on side project stuff in between writing new material for Partition 36.  The album also started to go off on a tangent where it was going to include tons of lyrics and have a more industrial sound to it.  But this isn’t where I want to take Partition 36.  I’ve been doing a lot of digging through my music collection lately and have been getting back to my original influences that inspired me to write music, like Enya (raise your hand if you’re surprised about that one) and classical music.  These have reminded me that Partition 36 is all about that dark synthpop sound combined with contemplative tracks to create interesting and beautiful electronic timbres.  Ok, maybe that’s a bit too artistic sounding, but whatever.  My point is, the new album is going to sound more cohesive and be the closest thing yet to how I envision Partition 36 to sound.  Also, don’t take this to mean my previous post mentioning whispered lyrics is now being thrown out the window.  It isn’t ;^)

I’m also looking at fixing up the Partition 36 website a bit to make it more minimal and clean.  The current site works but it just feels cluttered to me.  But I’m also no web designer by any means, so if you would like to volunteer some time to fix it up, please contact me.  I can’t offer you anything except maybe a signed copy of Inside The Beat and the upcoming album once it’s finished.
