I didn’t expect this to happen quite this soon, but the new Partition 36 album is now about 25% finished.  This is the same one titled 63 that I mentioned in my last post.  With two CDs, intro tracks, and an accompanying art/writings book (yikes…), this album will likely be my most ambitious project yet.  And if the tracks I recently finished mixing down are any indicator, also my best sounding one.

The idea of the two CDs came about because of the thematic and stylistic differences between the tracks I have both written and planned.  Although Inside The Beat turned out really well, I was never all that happy with how it wasn’t that cohesive.  The title track was a banging industrial-inspired song, while the song right after it was influenced more by jazz, synthpop, and J-pop.  But by splitting the new album into two CDs, and throwing on a few extra tracks, things should sound like they belong together, and the overall theme will be much more apparent.

As far as releasing it goes, this one will definitely be available for purchase, but I’m debating if I should have both digital and physical releases.  If I do end up doing just a digital release, the art book would just be a downloadable PDF.  But I also like having that physical copy in my hands because then it feels that much more real.  I guess we’ll see how things go.
