Heap

Charlie Hoistman's first official release, Heap, is now available on BandCamp as a free download.

A collection of musical sketches generated with custom software written in SuperCollider, Heap is a delightfully varied but surprisingly cohesive set of miniature aural landscapes, soundtracks to movies of the mind.

Released 29 November 2009. Running time: ~30 minutes.

"We wander about in times that do not belong to us..."

We never keep to the present. We ... anticipate the future as if we found it too slow in coming and were trying to hurry it up, or we recall the past as if to stay its too rapid flight. We are so unwise that we wander about in times that do not belong to us and do not think of the only one that does; so vain that we dream of times that are not and blindly flee the only one that is... [We] think of how we are going to arrange things over which we have no control for a time we can never be sure of reaching... Thus we never actually live, but hope to live, and since we are always planning how to be happy, it is inevitable that we should never be so.

-- Blaise Pascal

Site Redesign

Thinking about some ideas for redesigning the site. There are some themes and techniques I'd like to explore, so this is the obvious place to do it. Probably will be a while before it happens, so all five of you will have to wait for it.
