I'm currently working on a collaboration with Joel Phelps (Silkworm, Downer Trio) that some of you might like. Here's a link to our first sort-of-finished-but-still-rough song. http://soundcloud.com/gsdahlquist-asva/thine-v-1

I have not heard any of his music but his name is familiar. I'm going to have a look at the link you provided... Did/does he compose for chorus? Thanks for the tip! On another note here's a link to a good review of the new Asva/Philippe Petit collaboration due out uh, today actually, July 16! http://gumshoegrove.com/2012/07/09/asva-philippe-petit-empires-should-burn-cd-small-doses-basses-frequences-records-album-as-art-209/

So there's a couple of albums worth of new material waiting to be released? That's awesome, I had understood Presences of Absences was the last album Asva would release, but thankfully that's not the case. Btw; Stuart, since you're delving into classical music at the moment, have you ever heard the music of Giacinto Scelsi? Absolutely amazing stuff, he was already doing the whole 'drone' thing in an orchestral form in the nineteen-fifties! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLi3xxxjHDc

I hate feeling like a whore, but this was the first place I thought of when pondering places to share this... lo-fi loop drone/ambient/electronic/etc http://soundcloud.com/mugeninfinity

Not a huge fan of the falsetto vocals, I prefer the female vocals on the earlier albums. However, Presences of Absences is still a pretty good album.

I knew some people might have a hard time with PofA... it's the one though, that I find I can listen to repeatedly and still like and not find tedious. Give it a chance Khamuul, you might find it more appealing as time goes by. I do.

Awful? Shitty? Was I listening to another album by another band? 'cause the only epithets I could think of after listening to "Presences Of Absences" were extremely honorific.

I wouldn't expect everybody to be into this record... it's difficult music and an awful lot of information to take in and absorb. Anyone who might expect another 'doom' record from Asva would be disappointed. I'll tell you one thing though. Presences of Absences is most definitely not a 'shitty album' no matter whether you like it or not.

So far Presences Of Absences is getting very good reviews across the board... here is one of the most astute: http://brainwashed.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=8840%3Aasva-qpresences-of-absencesq&catid=13%3Aalbums-and-singles&Itemid=133

Is the album still coming or is it just delayed. I could not find any recent news and I would love to know.

You can read an Asva article at our site. We spoke George Stuart Dalquist (bass) and Greg Gilmore (drums) 'some' time ago about Futurism, Doom and (ir)rationality in music. You can read 'Anything but child’s play' here: http://whiteheatmagazine.wordpress.com/2011/02/27/asva/ Cheers The White Heat staff

I think you can moderate your own page if you register yourself as a band member. I could be wrong, though... Also, great news on the Asva release date, a month before my birthday :D

Nope. But soon... May? Thats the hopeful date and I think we can pull it off. By the way; how can I delete the fucking sales comment below? What asshole, both. Him for posting such, me for not figuring out how to get rid of it.

Greg an I have been working on a remix of Steve Reich. It's for a contest and I just found out it's a vote driven thing or so it seems. Please give our take on Steve's track a listen and if you like it please give us your vote! http://www.indabamusic.com/submissions/show/33084

I'm okay with waiting until the time is right. But damn, I'd really love to at least get a glance of the cover...

An ad popped up in front of your comment. I was sure you'd called me a teabagger.
