An Announcement

Posted on December 19, 2011 by

Hi everyone.

This is a little update regarding my sounds and whatnot. For quite some time now I have been attempting to write my new album, but so far I have been relatively unsuccessful in finding a sound that I enjoy and wish to stick to, so because of that you will not be seeing any new music uploaded anywhere for quite some time. I really need to step back and evaluate everything that I have done so far and everything that I seek to do in order to make this album something special.

It’s not all bad, though. Because of this temporary (and I mean temporary) step back, I will have the chance to work on some other non-musical projects that I have been wanting to do for a very long time. For quite a while now I have been, on and off, writing a novel. Only now do I feel ready to take it on fully. With luck I will now be able to dedicate more time and effort towards this project and something will come into fruition.

I might possibly also be doing some other music projects with people in the future, as opposed to solo work- projects less electronic-driven and more stripped down. More developments will probably crop up in the future regarding this, but nothing is set in stone as of yet.

Thanks a lot for reading. Just wanted to let you guys know what the haps was (that’s right, I just used the term ‘haps’). I’m not disappearing, PegasiaMusic will be extremely active in the new year and I will no doubt blog about bits and bobs on here as I often do on occasion.

Happy holidays, everyone. Have a good one. :)

A bit of an update

Posted on November 4, 2011 by

Hey, everyone. I’m sorry that I haven’t posted on here for a little while. Times are busy (things have been hella crazy since I started university) but fear not! I am still alive. I felt like I should just post this little update just so people know what’s going on and what they can expect (on the exception of some little surprises I have lined up ;) ).

1) I have several collaboration projects lined up, the most prominent being an acoustic/orchestral/8bit project that I am working on with Japan-based electropunker Vlantis. Expect some sounds in the near-ish future…

2) PegasiaMusic is being very productive as of late. We have been mastering and releasing all manner of fantastic music, which I highly recommend to any music lover!

3) I am writing a series of short stories currently set in a fictional world of my own pretentious design. More updates to follow the closer the time these are ready!

4) Yes, yes, yes. I am working on a new album, but don’t tell anyone. Nobody’s supposed to know. Wink.

All of the upcoming things I’ve announced are going to be a very slow process, so don’t expect anything to surface just yet, but I felt like letting you guys know now anyway.

Anyway, that’s me. Take care, guys.

Plum’s new album – Needs your support!

Posted on October 1, 2011 by

Hey everyone. This is a quick post to try and help out a friend of mine who goes by the moniker of Plum. She makes fantastic music which you should all check out here.

She is currently working on a new album called ‘The Seed’, but she needs your help to finish it! She is running a project on Sponsume which consists of you guys pledging a certain amount of money (no matter how big or small) towards the album. The set goal is £5000 and so far she has reached £3818. The deadline is in 15 days and unfortunately if the goal isn’t reached within that time, the project won’t go ahead as planned and the pledging would have been for very little. Also, you don’t pay anything unless the goal is reached before the deadline elapses.

So if possible, please jump on over to this page right here and donate something towards this project. It can be anything from £1 to £10000000 and a dozen goats, and beyond! It would be great if anybody would be generous enough to donate something, and as I realise she is rather new to some people, do have a browse through her music on her Soundcloud account before making the right decision to pledge. ;)

Cheers, guys. Take care and all the best.
-Ben

My good friend, Wet-Glass bandmate and PegasiaMusic colleague Rob Gilbank and just released his new EP – the final in a series of three similar-themed EPs known as Little Coloured Lights.

I have been eagerly looking forward to this release for some time now. It is an excellent listen to chill down with and be taken into another world. For fans of downtempo and ambient, this is an excellent EP, so do be sure to check it out.

Appearing on a remix compilation

Posted on August 4, 2011 by

Hey guys. Just posting this up to let you all know that a remix I did of Vlantis‘ single Cute Overlord has been featured on a remix EP released through the IDMf netlabel. It is downloadable and listenable here.

There are some amazing remixes on this, and considering I’m a huge fan of Vlantis already, this is quite an honour and very enjoyable listen, so be sure to check it out. :)
