I have agreed to release my solo album with Unearthed Music on July 28, 2009. This will correspond with exactly one years worth of entries in the One Sound Every Day category on ACB. Since all of the pieces included in this work were inspired by my almost-daily-sound-experiments, it’s a fitting date to release the fruits of my labor. The album is nearly finished and will be released under my Ostraka moniker. Before I master the album I would like to involve ACB readers in the production process by polling you for suggestions.
What are your favorite sounds or micro-tracks that I’ve shared with you during this period? I plan on including four to six pieces from the ACB archives on the release. If you have an opinion about what should go on the album, please respond with a link to the post that has the sound in a comment to this entry. Thanks!
Here’s my latest mix of Blitzen Machine to give you a taste of what to expect from the album.
Blitzen Machine
One of the themes I have enjoyed and learned from most in your posts is the introduction of chaos and randomness into sound while keeping it controlled and artistic. While this idea spans many posts, I suppose the one that typifies it is “Herding Random Behaviors”.

Good luck with finishing the album.
@Nick Thanks, Nick! I’ll put that one under consideration.

shameless self-promotion requires that i vote this sound post for inclusion.
@analogaries Ah, Zenrock… Yes I have to agree that was a fun session. When can we have more of those, eh?

dirty & awesome.
I would vote for all the unprocessed dirty rhodes samples
and, that one sound you once recorded walking up some stairs in a close space and then opening the door
ah! and the fire recording, i liked that one too!
cheers!
I’d give a vote to the Processed Rhodes Pedal Noise.
@Jeff Ah, thanks, Jeff. I like that one too.
