I just released an album of experimental electronic music through an internet record label and it's been getting a surprisingly high number of downloads so I thought I'd share. The concept for the album is that each track represents one person from sequential generations of a family tree. The album can be downloaded free at www.cyclene.com which is a pretty cool label in general that's mostly experimental electronic type stuff. Anyway, here's the track-by-track synopsis:

Track 1
Jonas Aurthur Sibley. Born 1893. Died 1956. Raised in New Hampshire but spent most of his adult life as a lumberjack in Brookings, Oregon. Rarely ever spoke but was well known as an excellent singer.

Track 2
Howard Wallace Sibley. Born 1927. Died 2007. Son of Jonas Aurthur Sibley. Muralist and sometime carpenter, just barely missed being drafted into World War II. Spent his whole life in San Francisco. Married Elaine Spence and had four children: Jane, Harrison, David and Terrence.

Track 3
Jane Q. Sibley. Born 1948. Died 2040. Daughter of Howard William Sibley. Renowned San Francisco multi-media pop artist. Married older artist Dominic Francesco in 1967. Divorced 1972. The couple had one child: Aquamarine.

Track 4
Aquamarine Ray Sibley-Francesco. Born 1966. Died 2021. Daughter of Jane Q. Sibley. Poet and LGBT activist based out of San Francisco and later Oakland.

Track 5
Shane August Sibley. Born 1985. Died 2089. Son of Harrison Sibley. Was raised by his cousin Aquamarine after his parents died when he was nine. Though he grew up in Oakland, he became an established multi-media artist in Washington, D.C. Married Safi Diouf in 2015 and had two children: Marsden and Shayna.

Track 6
Shayna Sibley-Diouf. Born 2019. Died 2138. Daughter of Shane August Sibley. Not much is know of her life after she dropped out of Berklee, but there is some evidence that she continued performing music from her adoptive home of Camden, New Jersey.

yeah it's about time your whored out some talent on here, cardboard has been hogging the limelight for too long =P
i am only a few tracks in but really down with what you have done so far, appreciate the wood-chopping motif on Jonas Arthur. It's dark stuff, isolated log cabin-tronica. The concept of it in the liner notes made me think of Bowie's lost classic 'Outside', apologies if that comparison makes you ill

Thanks man! I actually am not familiar with that Bowie album but I certainly take that as a compliment.

I just found out the label has uploaded my album to last.fm. So if anyone cares to check it out, it's there too.

On the download now with thoughts soon

I've got this on the download now...looking forward to checking it out. Electronic is really hit and miss for me, but based on the few other songs of yours I've heard, I'm thinking it'll be great.

Awesome! Of course I have to check this out

music_phantom13 · 10-18-2009, 04:52 PM

Ooo exciting! I'll be listening to this for sure, I'll write a review too. I'm excited, a lot of times I really like experimental electronic stuff. A lot of times I don't though, so we'll see. I imagine it's good.

On a side note, are there a lot of people that actually release things on here? Like, I know there's plenty of musicians, but c-a and now janszoon are the only people I think I've ever heard anything by. If there are a few, we should have a musicbanter label! It would be sick. I'd try to do such a thing if I wasn't leaving in 2 months

**Janszoon** · 10-18-2009, 06:09 PM

Hope you peeps enjoy it. Most of it is pretty slow and droney, I hope that's not a turnoff.

**Janszoon** · 11-07-2009, 05:14 AM

Haha, well I guess maybe it was.
