I’m just in off the nightshift, re-doing some guitars and stuff, and I thought I’d upload a clip of one of the tracks for you before I catch up on some sleep. This is from a rough monitor mix, still very much a work in progress, but I thought it was about time you heard something from the actual album.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/duncanpatterson">http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/duncanpatterson</a><br /><br /><br />Best wishes to all, and thanks for your patience and support!<br /><br />DuncanUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899915377020342969.post-311522791797440382015-08-06T02:23:00.002+01:002015-08-06T02:23:45.234+01:00Antimatter CD sale 4.99I was recently returned a box of <b>Antimatter - Lights Out</b> cds that I left in France about 10 years ago.

A detox retreat in the North Wales countryside involving plenty of raw food, clean water, deep sleep, and meditation was just what was needed after a very damaging 2013. After getting the all-clear from the hospital I decided to take a few months out in Mexico to relax and put my feet up. Things didn't quite go to plan there though as I was left to sort out everything for the <b>Alternative 4</b> album 'The Obscurants' on my own. So my Mexican siesta was disrupted by impending deadlines, finding hotels with fast computers, people with decent audio set-ups to listen to the masters (thanks Oscar!!), and so on, but I got things finished just in time for the deadline. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">My old bandmates from <b>Anathema</b> had offered us the support slot for the opening gigs of their European tour. So the plan was to have the album released in September, just in time for the gigs, which would be ideal promotion for it. Flights and hotels were booked, session players taught the setlist and that. A lot of planning and money went into it. More about that later.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br />After returning from Mexico I was invited to appear on prime time Irish TV by my good friends from the band <a href="https://www.facebook.com/croninmusic">Cronin</a>. I had played numerous gigs with them before when they were called <b>The Aftermath</b> and they needed a Hammond player for the show. Why not?</span><br />
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Harry Potter was there as well, and they had free wine and an impressive cheese board backstage. Fame and fortune at last.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>

<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">As I was conversing with Danny Cavanagh (Anathema) about the September gigs he came out with the suggestion of doing some kind of <b>Anathema</b> reunion gigs in 2015 and wondered if Darren White and myself would be up for it. Everyone seemed to be into the idea for the right reasons, and in my mind this is our last opportunity to do something like this, so I got enthusiastic about it and I'm glad that it's all going ahead in April 2015. There are a few dates confirmed at the moment, headlining Roadburn Festival on the Sunday is an experience I'm looking forward to. And for the first time in many many years I can simply enjoy playing the music, without having all the other responsibilities on my shoulders. Accusations of "selling out" and doing it for the money couldn't be further from the truth, but that was always going to come our way. This is all in good spirit and that's stronger than anything. Hopefully more confirmed dates will be announced very soon.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Back to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/alternative4.band">Alternative 4</a> now and it's time to come clean about the situation. Prior to the Anathema gigs (and the album release) I received mails from vocalist Simon Flatley stating he was concerned about playing live. I tried to make things easier for him by simplifying his parts and giving him all the encouragement that I could. Then, after a period of silence, I received another mail saying that he was quitting music for good. This was on the eve of the album release and the gig dates. And we subsequently had to cancel the gigs. Since then he hasn't replied to any emails or phone calls. It resulted in me losing a lot of money on flights and hotels, and also let down a lot of people involved. Plus it took the shine off the album release for us, and it has been difficult to keep quiet about it while trying to promote the album, but this is the situation we were left in. Im sorry that it wasn't mentioned earlier but we really had our hands tied, with a brand new album to promote.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">At the moment the band is on a hiatus until we get a working line-up together. I'm sick and tired of working with amateurs and opportunists, which has been a consistent theme in my projects. I've been a soft touch for far too long. Time to change the record now.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">After all that disappointment I decided to channel my energy into something positive and get my orchestral work into full swing. As I mentioned in 2013, I have been working on orchestral arrangements of picks from my discography. These have been divided into a trilogy of albums, each with a set theme. First up is The Eternity Suite which will contain tracks from the Anathema 'Eternity' album plus similar themes that I have composed over the years. There is also a brand new piece called Into Infinity which fits nicely on the tracklist. For this project I opted to start a PledgeMusic campaign to fund the recordings rather than go through a record label. So far the campaign has been a great success, reaching the target much much quicker than I imagined. As we speak it stands at 121% and there's still time to pre-order the cd and/or go for one of the exclusives that won't be available once the album is released.

After many months of scoring strings, arranging piano melodies, and working in a completely different way than ever before, I am happy to announce that my first 'solo' album is ready to record.<br /><br />I have decided to launch a Pledge Music campaign to raise funds for the studio, musician's fees, and so on. This way everything is done directly between myself and the listener, and the pledgers become an invaluable part of the process. <br /><br />This album 'The Eternity Suite' is the first in a trilogy of orchestral/cinematic releases, documenting and spanning my discography. It is based around songs that I wrote from the 'Eternity' album that I recorded with Anathema back in 1996, and subsequent themes that fit musically and conceptually within the project. This is the first release that will contain the 'missing' Eternity parts plus some brand new material. <br /><br /><br />I invite you all to be a part of this project, and I have added some exclusive material for you in exchange for your support. <br /><br /><br /><br /><i>'Do you think we're forever?'</i><br /><br />Duncan Patterson<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: small;">
