New album "Houseman - Tranquility"

Post by Louigi Verona »

Houseman is my side project aimed at repetitive music. I've always wanted to do some "boring house", but each my attempt often took me much farther and I would end with a melodic track.

So Houseman is a project which does no such thing. It takes the music no further that repetitive stuff usually goes.
However, another thing typical for Houseman is that tunes sometimes develop in unpredictable ways, so that the track begins with one thing, but ends with a completely different sound.

Do listen to the debut album. "Tranquility", 2nd album, however, I am very happy with. A very tasty album, with a bit of an oldskool raw flavor to it and composed fully on GNU/Linux, using Hydrogen, Qtractor, CALF Fluidsynth and Rakarrack. Patchage, a2jmidi and JACK Keyboard were also important tools in the work.

Listening to it now Louigi. I like this kind of stuff, slowly building up, meandering, intertwining, becoming deeper, richer. One of my favorite albums of all time got this review like 'repetition has never been so substantial'. So nothing wrong with repetition!
How's your music licensed? Do you mind if I put up a little review on linuxaudio.org one of these days (if I find time to review it, otherwise I'll just put up a small article)?

If you go to faq section of my site, you will see that my music is licensed with almost a "Do what you want" license. I just ask to retain my authorship :)
