My Absurd Symphony: The Album

When "My Absurd Symphony" was released back in May 5, 2012, it lasted only 20 days before I remastered it and then added  songs from an instrumental imaginary film score album entitled "Into The Void.' Together, they would make a Deluxe album called "Into The Void: An Absurd Symphony." 
With the Lost Green Tapes taking a break from recording any new music, and after a productive year of 3 albums thus far in 2012; it now gives me the opportunity to finish some projects I have been working on.
Yes, the Lost Green Tapes at this time have no plans to go into the studio to work on any new material, and we truly are taking a break.

Now, first off, "My Absurd Symphony" was in fact supposed to be just a 12 Track LP. Recording began in September, 2011 and sessions ended in April 2012. In the end, I had 9 songs mastered  (Four on the Floor ended up being cut from both final mixes,) and  the Album would be released May 5, 2012.
Music Videos, Artwork inspired by the Album, Short Stories, and even a DVD were set to be released later in the year. While mastering "My Absurd Symphony," I began playing around in between mastering sessions recording an Imaginary Film Score. I would put on a movie and play background music to different scenes from different movies while the movie was on mute. Within 2 weeks, I had recorded 14 of these instrumentals using only a Guitar and occasionally adding strings. The intention for "Into The Void"  was to make a full length film with the music guiding film.

Late one night, while doing a playback on the finished "My Absurd Symphony" which was on shuffle with "Into The Void,"I began to pick up on what was a natural flow through the songs. After playing around with different tracklists, I made the annoucement via Facebook, that on May 25th 2012, I would be releasing "Into the Void: An Absurd Symphony"
You can stream it here at "Into The Void: An Absurd Symphony."  
The ideas for promoting "My Absurd Symphony" and "Into The Void" didn't go away, but they did take a backseat. A Summer 2012 began, the music just wouldn't stop coming. I was on a creative streak and I did not wish to waste it so I proceeded with the "Nineteen Eighty Project".
It would be a full album, but released individually throughout the summer via Social Media sites like youtube and Facebook.
Without getting into too much detail about "nineteen eighty", we will save those details and bonus extras for a future Blog entry. 2012 has been a very productive year for me musically, and now with me taking a break, I like to go back and release the Albums of 2012 the way I orginally wanted to. That is why I started this blog. On this blog, you will get access to Extras and Bonuses you would not get on any of my other pages. So, let's start again, by releasing "My Absurd Symphony" and all of the extras to go with it.
