Sleep City Crisis's First Album: "The Akashic Records Vol. 1"

Not many people might know but I recently just finished pre-production on my first album. I got inspired by Nine Inch NailsGhosts I - IV.It's a electronic instrumental album. I was skeptical about doing something like this before, but I quickly changed my mind due to the fact that many other artists have done similar stuff like this (Example M83'sDigital Shades, Vol. 1)It gives a sense of freedom to do what you want as a musician. You can always pull that card to give your fans a different taste of you normally do, with a disclaimer of course. You always want to inform your fans of what you're about to release. Not everyone likes instrumental music especially if you're a fan that's used to the songs released by the artist that has great lyrics and all.

I decided to start this basically because of the mood I was in to just composing music without words. It became an awesome experience because it's also easy to release instrumental music on your own as well. So I took the time to complete this hour long instrumental album which has a lot of ambient type music work which I love. Some of the stuff sounds pretty harsh as well. I put up a few of the new tracks on the Sleep City Crisis Music MySpace just so you get an idea of what the album contains. Regardless there is still a lot of work to be done like post-production, but at least the real essence of the creative side is done.

Remember, I'm going to be needing people that do graphic designs and know how to do computer art in order to form the website and all. You will be credited upon the album's release. I need a electronic .pdf file art package as well to release with the album which will def. give you room to have your art exposed and perhaps build an amazing portfolio.

So keep your eyes peeled!
