On top of that, he makes it unbelivably easy for me to review because I can listen to all of his songs on last.fm. :3
And I don't have to download and get suspended and die.

I thought Sonace or Conan was the name of a band or something that our Conan liked, not his own music! I'm excited to hear this!

This sounds good, first one ive been tempted to get involved with.

NumberNineDream · 02-02-2010, 01:29 PM

Downloading now. I'm glad Conan's album was picked, that kid always fascinated me.

Arya Stark · 02-02-2010, 01:45 PM

Really?
I just think he's a hottie. *overdramatic wink*

I feel as though I derailed this thread.

Avant-garde jazz isn't something I'm familiar with...to tell the truth I've never listened to anything quite like this. And so I took awhile to absorb and perhaps wait to comment till others had chimed in first. I guess I'll go first though, and hopefully don't end up sounding like a moron.

I listened to this about 10 times now all the way through, which is no problem at all since it's very short. Not that short is a complaint...makes it much easier to digest the whole thing and never once got boring for me. I will admit that I wasn't totally feeling this on the first listen or two, but with repeated spins I've actually grown to like it quite a lot.

The first track, Seventeen Years, is really just beautiful by itself, with it's bassline and clever instrument effects. The random bird sounds added in were really cool, and I felt like this song and the cover photo reflect on each other perfectly. That one was probably my favorite, followed closely by Hasi mtu anakuwa chanya. Something for X was good as well, as it felt different and more like straight-forward jazz than the other songs on here. Place of Waste, which clocks in at less than 1.5 minutes, also deserves a mention...with its menacing and jarring fuzzy guitars, it really sounded like nothing else on the album. The inclusion of those two short and diverse-sounding tracks gave me the idea right away that they were put there to help tell a story. As many times as I listened though, I couldn't quite put the story together in my head...maybe because it was so short and some of the titles don't give enough info? I'd actually love to get more details on how exactly the story (if there is one) is supposed to unfold and where the cover photo is from.

Even if this isn't my thing, I can still tell you that I did enjoy it, and it's obvious that you're very talented. It's good enough that I'm gonna keep it and listen to it more from time to time. Nice work man.

Listening to this now... I'm also not too familiar with avant-garde jazz but Conan/ Sonace you are very talented! Curious, did you do all of the instruments/ sounds yourself? They're awesome. I love the variety of sounds and they are all fantastically placed and played.

My favourites would be Seventeen Years, Something for X (love the bass in these two) and Hasi mtu anakuwa chanya.

Great work Conan, I was really impressed! Love the experimentalism of it. Keep it up and please continue to show us your music!

Was wondering that as well. If you did then that's crazy cool. 0_0
