Well, I just completed (a couple days ago) a remix for Encoder's remix contest, which ends May 1st. You may recall that these good fellows remixed our track "Holy Land" a little ways back, so it only stands to reason that I ought to return the favor. The track is "When It Rains", the original of which you can listen to on their Myspace page (see link above). As per their wishes, I will not be posting the remix until Encoder has completed selection of the winner and runner-up tracks; winner to be featured on their next album.



Additionally, NOVAkILL is having a remix contest, which I shall soon undertake. You should also check this link for information on learning synthesizer programming and to get some free plugins / other goodies. These guys make some hardcore music, and my hat is off to them for their dedication to spreading the art of CREATING music, and not only their wicked tunes.



Also of note: Plasmacrash is SEEKING (but not yet confirmed or denied) to play at the Utah Dark Arts Festival (as our own state sadly doesn't appear to be doing one...not since Plasmacrash formed in May 2005) during the last weekend of May. We are also hoping to open for 16 Volt at the beginning of May in Denver (at 3 Kings Tavern...should be a good show, regardless of whether or not we play)...more on that as it comes; cross your fingers for us!



Last, but not least, Plasmacrash is working on a few new tunes of its own. With Rivet due to return shortly and now having a full ensemble, expect more raucous live performances as well. I'm currently halfway done programming a song inspired by Dr. Strangelove called "Purity of Essence", and I have lyrics (but no music) for another song called "Die Sprache" (The Language). Also, given that there is a VERY blurry line between Tantalus Doctrine and Plasmacrash, you may also catch wind of T-Doc track "The Enemy Of My Enemy" (programming mostly completed, needs some tweaking).



In short, it's good to be back at it!

PS - When Rivet gets back, we will most likely be having a "Welcome Back Rivet" party, which ironically is also (approximately) Plasmacrash's third anniversary! More info on that as we know it...it may consist merely of bar hopping, or perhaps a full-on BBQ.
