mmd_as – web2 spots and FLACs

Sunday, January 25th, 2009

The new mmd_as album has made its way around the wide world of web 2.0 and made its sounds available for free where it went. Probably only two places of note are mmd_as – last.fm and here on the Renoise Forum where some people have given comment. Everything else out there is either too minor or so messy that it’s un-presentable. However, if any discussion of note appears I shall share it here. If I were more the virtual-social-butterfly my reach may have generated more of an impact, but no use in pretending to be something I’m not. One place that I’ll be endeavouring to polish up for networking purposes is a new Facebook Page that at the moment just barely features the mmd_as material.

The good news is that I’ve added the new album to the mmd shop, available as a high quality FLAC download for a realistic $10AUD via paypal. Again, we wish that this could be a physical copy of a CD with cool artwork and such, but for now a FLAC version will have to do. Think of your purchase as a ’show of support’ as any donations are halved between Alex and I. I don’t expect a heap of interested (my last album only sold about 5-6 copies), but we’ll put the option there for you just in case.

And of course, any comments and reactions from yourselves to the album would be most welcome to us. Please lets us know what you think of what we have done!

mmd_as – The New Album

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

Over two years in the making it is finally here! Alex Strain and I have finished our album and it is up and ready to go! Visit this page:

mmd_as :: The new collaborative album from Alex Strain and mr_mark_dollin
9 songs :: 2009 mastering :: The free mp3s >
Read more about the project on the album page.
I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank Alex Strain for all his hard work and tolerance in collaborating with me to make this music happen. None of this was actually planned to happen the way it has from the outset, we kind of accidentally started making songs together and rest evolved from there. It has been exciting in the sense that with Alex I both connect with his creativity as well as juxtapose it with opposite directions and approaches. Some very unique compositional challenges arose because of this, and it was a lot of fun to work things out with Alex so that we were both happy with what you hear.
It’s almost a little sad to be calling it a day once the work is over, but time to finish other things! Alex and I may return to fun and games down the track, but for now enjoy the best of what we’ve done so far.
Stay tuned for updates on various promoting of the project around the web 2.0 world, as well as information on how you can purchase a FLAC version of the album.

A little xmas gift for you all before we wind up business for the year! This is a preview of an album project Alex Strain and I have coming out early 2009. We both though that we’d honour the spirit of the season and offer you all a fun free gift that’s a little more on the lighter side of the project, just for a smile.

The middle section features local hiphop sensation and web2.0 megastar MC Wrap Present.

Enjoy.
