Praise for ShoutLand! Upcoming Black Masheeen Track!

Here is the latest email we have received regarding the ShoutLand CD.

"I just wanted to tell you how much I am Enjoying (pun) Shoutland.  It’s brilliant!  The more I listen to it, the more I can’t decide which tracks I like best.  The CD  has a nice, disturbing flow when played in numerical track order but also works well shuffled.  The entire premise of a crazed, hoe and screwdriver wielding vigilante taking on noisy, asshole neighbors is delightfully evil and fulfilling.  My favorite tracks (as of my last listening) are: Gone Up North, An Ice Chest of Donor Organs, I Want to Take a Shower (I love Lisa’s aural painting of Agatha), Buzzing Like Cicadas and of course, my all-time favorite, The Party’s Over (Now Get The Fuck Out).  Bad Plumbing is bitchin as well." JB

We are hard at work on an upcoming Black Masheeen Track titled "An Amygdala Gala." 

Coming Soon!

Here's a thread on the production of ShoutLand from FaceBook. Sorry about the lack of word-wrap.



Mark A. Soden Jr. Thanks Tim! We are ramping up for the new CD ShoutLand.



Tim Mungenast I wanna know all about it!



Mark A. Soden Jr. Ok, Here's the link to the back story http://phogmasheeen.blogspot.com/p/shoutland-back-story.html

phog masheeen: ShoutLand Back Story....phogmasheeen.blogspot.com



Mark A. Soden Jr. The tracks were built from live recordings, rehearsals and studio work. The Sonorium performance is in there. I continued the the use of actors as vocalists. Focusing on character rather than singing. Thomas Dimuzio did a brilliant job of mastering. Bill Almas has produced an outstanding cover for the CD that ties in the "buzzing like cicadas" phrase and Vanessa LeFevre's cicada recordings are in there too! These recordings are how I spent my summer...



Mark A. Soden Jr. Bill did a trailer for an early mix of "I Want To Take a Shower." Lisa Black added a genius vocal to that. She developed a voice for the character Agatha that just says "homeless with a taste for drugs." That video is here http://youtu.be/7QsDQ6t9EcI



Mark A. Soden Jr. The first trailer is here: http://youtu.be/h6LCTKv3LGo Bobby Almon voiced this intro to the world of shoutland in a tone that evokes the voice of a weary crime reporter, laying out the facts.

Trailer #2 for Shoutland now on YouTube!

The second trailer for the upcoming phog masheeen CD ShoutLand is up on YouTube.

What has phog masheeen been doing? An update from the field...

Greetings all,
Here's a quick update on the activities of phog masheeen.

I have been submitting scores for festivals, in particularly Electronic Music Midwest, Studio 300 and The Electro Acoustic Barn Dance.

We shall see how it goes.

We are involved in a secret remake of a film classic. That is all I can say about that.










And work has begun on "Shoutland" the next phog masheeen CD.

That said the quest for new sounds goes on.
