The good people over at UBLF Chilldown Period just featured the track Fabrique on the latest installment of their podcast.
If you haven’t had a listen to their cast, I highly recommend you do. It’s a great source of finding new, great music, and makes for a great background for working.

There’s been some good buzz and reviews of the Fabric of Life album over the past week.
Create Digital Music posted a great article on the album, the release strategy I used for it, and other related, and pertinent points, you can view the article here:
Thomas Raukamp posted a very flattering review of the album earlier this week, which you can read here:

UBLF Chilldown Period also posted a very thoughtful review on the album:

Scott, founder of Glitch.fm sent me an awesome quick review of the album too:
“Brilliantly beautiful textures and melodies filled with delicious granular details and good rhythms when only absolutely appropriate. Think BT’s “This Binary Universe” meets Guy Sigsworth’s compositions (and a little Enigma here and there)! If anyone involved in the film industry is reading this – AC deserves a job scoring films with work like this. Top favorites are Spring Rain, Fabrique, and Chrysalis though it’s all good. ” – Great Scott (Muti Music // Glitch.FM // Scarcity Records).
If you haven’t checked out glitch.fm yet I highly recommend you do, some pretty cool audio treats from many different DJs and artists. http://glitch.fm
Thanks to everyone for their time and effort on the articles and reviews, I sincerely appreciate it.
The new album is finally released. You can grab a copy of the limited edition (300) CD, normal CD, or digital download here: http://auditorycanvas.net/store
All CD orders include an immediate download of the album, so you have a copy to listen to while you wait for the mail.
Huge thanks to everyone who supported this project, and my music.
Have a blissful weekend everyone.
David.

I haven’t posted much lately, but there’s been a good reason for it, I have been busy focussing on finishing my long awaited album….. I’m pleased to say it’s finished. All that’s left is to get the tracks mastered, sort out the play order, and finish the artwork.
It will have a full worldwide CD and digital release some time later this year, hopefully Autumn providing everything gets finished in time. I’ll post another update on it’s pending release nearer the time.
I’m pretty excited, most of the album was written in the past year, all new tracks, with only a few previously released favourites being on there too.
More news soon….
my label, Summer Rain Recordings just released 8 new EPs today, all pretty damn good in my humble opinion.
Check them out below:
We have 8 great new releases today at Summer Rain. Click the pics to preview the EP:
Homesic – Restless Heart Syndrome EP
Homesic’s first EP on Summer Rain brings you 5 tracks that can’t help but put you in a good mood. Their sound is probably best described as Japanese TV show music meets Aphex Twin.
10% of all sales proceeds are being donated to NextAid.

David Kira – In Evolution EP
David Kira couldn’t have named his second EP on Summer Rain better. An evolutionary step from from his first EP, building on the strengths of Instinct EP, In-Evolution contains 4 beautiful new tracks that take your mind on a journey. Music so perfect for a film, it makes us want to create one for them to accompany.
5% of all sales proceeds are being donated to NextAid.

Iridium Flares – Anchor EP
Iridium Flares’ second EP has been a long time coming, but it was certainly worth the wait. He has taken the most loved aspects from his first EP, thrown them into the pot, and added new found and old honed skills into the mix, and created 4 blissful new tracks. If there’s a genre called folkidmglitchtronica, then this EP fits it perfectly.
5% of all sales proceeds are being donated to NextAid.

Everything Is – Two Stories EP
Taking a break from the electronic side of things, Everything Is’ first EP is a collection of 4 beautiful, chilled, and haunting piano songs. If you are wondering how this might all fit in to Summer Rain’s catalog, then take a listen, and you’ll soon realise why we chose to release this EP.
5% of all sales proceeds are being donated to NextAid.

Mr Squirrel – The Ourboros EP
Mr. Squirrel’s second EP on Summer Rain is much like an auditory version of the cover – an organic blend of light and dark sounds, textures, and percussive breaks that condense a melting pot of influences and inspirations into 5 tracks of aural pleasure. What does that sound like? Take a listen….
5% of all sales proceeds are being donated to NextAid.

Storm Boy – Chrome EP
Storm Boy’s Second Release on Summer Rain, Chrome EP, brings you more of what he’s good at – deep progressive tech house. @ new tracks from him, with 2 different mixes of both tracks to please different moods, different minds.

5% of all sales proceeds are being donated to NextAid.

riccicomoto – Turn Over EP
His third EP on Summer Rain brings more of the quality we’ve come to expect from riccicomoto, though this is his best yet, 4 new tracks showcasing a more refined sound with fresh nu jazz and lounge grooves reminiscent of sounds you might expect from the likes of a Ninja Tune music session.
50% of all sales proceeds are being donated to NextAid.

Benjamin In Peru – Isolated Waves EP
The Debut EP from Benjamin in Peru delivers a distinct but unique IDM atmosphere that wouldn’t be out of place on an advert for exquisite dark belgian chocolate and exotic fruit praline from one of the finest belgian chocolate producers. Give it a taste, we think you’ll like it.
5% of all sales proceeds are being donated to charity.
