There are some peer reviews of the Dawn, New Life track here at ccmixter. Great to know people are listening and thinking about the track.

forgotten trees package arrived
Very excited! The package from the States arrived last night – the book and CD look great together. I’d forgotten (no pun intended) that I’d ordered silver CDs … wow they’re so shiny! Now I’ll get to planning the book release party with Bruce at the bookshop.

Forgotten trees book of photos and poems nearly ready
I been changing and tweaking the poems and I’m now in the process of finishing off the book. I’ve whittled over 60 of the best poems down to about 45, culled about 50 photos from over 200 I liked. The document is almost ready to go to press, just waiting on our isbn.
Great News – Forgotten Trees as a book!
I had some poems I’d been working on and I’ve decided to make Forgotten trees into a three-level piece: music, graphics and text. There will be a 100 page book of photos and poems to complement the CD. Get both, read the book and look at the photos (which are new, not available electronically through the website) and listen to the music in the background (with a cup of herbal tea, perhaps). Intended release date is April 19th – at the moment just working through a sizing problem with the CD tray insert.

Currents CDs arrived
The first shipment of the Venus Vulture Currents CDs arrived yesterday and they look great. I’ll spend the next week or so getting the sets prepared, then make them available from the website. I’ll put a photo up of how the set will look – slim DVD case, two disks and a photoset.
Track featured on Still Audio
The track There Were Once Seven from phantomshadows features on Simon Chapman’s Still Audio podcast # 7 Close Your Eyes. Still Audio “is a music podcast featuring an eclectic mixture of calming electronica.” Check out some of the other podcasts too – Simon’s creating a great selection of music gathered from netlabels around the world.
Currents Installation now in place
Currents is up at the Palmerston North City Library. Here are some pictures of it going up. I’ll upload more to the Flickr site over the weekend … or Monday.

To tie in with the whole concept of the Currents Installation, a collection of the images will be on display at the Palmerston North City Library in Community Cyberspace. Check out the currents page on the website.
