Techno Netlabel http://phranq.com Probably not really news-worthy, but for lack of any real news...it is now possible to preview the tracks on the releases page. Just click the play button beside any track and you will hear a two minute preview of that track. As for real news, brand new tracks are on the way, maybe from ghoti or maybe from a new Phranq artist :). Stay tuned. releases.php Tue, 20 Dec 2005 13:52:56 EDT A few ghoti tracks are now available for sale at Resonant Vibes, a fairly new pay-per-download music service specializing in electronic music. Why buy when you can get it all for free here? Well, the audio quality is much better if you buy the tracks because they are encoded at 320 kbps; the free ones are only 96 kbps. To be honest, I can barely tell the difference. I am actually more excited by the banner graphic I made for Resonant Vibes than the music -- if you wait long enough, you will see a Phranq Audio banner filp by on their home page. http://www.resonantvibes.com Fri, 09 Dec 2005 09:43:50 EDT The rss feed is not new, but the link in the upper navigation is. The browser that I use automatically detects the presence of an rss feed and puts up a link -- aparently this is not common. There is not a lot of news yet as Phranq is really just starting, but if you are interested in keeping track of new releases, then do subscribe. Sun, 27 Nov 2005 07:34:31 EDT The fifth Phranq Audio release is a re-issue of the original Iron Lung EP released on Woodwork Recordings in 1999. A bonus track from the same era has also been included. releases.php#phnq005 Thu, 24 Nov 2005 15:17:30 EDT I finally took the plunge and picked up a new Nord Modular G2, the single rack "Engine". It is really quite an amazing machine. The G2 is pretty much everything that I always wanted the original Nord Modular to be -- reverbs, delays, tons of convenience features, etc. So, far I have found it pretty easy to into, so I am hoping that new ghoti tracks are just around the corner... Mon, 21 Nov 2005 22:33:28 EDT Four more old, mostly 808-based ghoti tracks. Weird, slow, dark, basement-apartment-inspired... releases.php#phnq004 Wed, 16 Nov 2005 14:13:08 EDT I have added some links to sites whose stuff I like/endorse. links.php Mon, 14 Nov 2005 00:46:05 EDT The third Phranq Audio release is one of only three live sets ever performed by ghoti. It was recorded in June of 2000 at Audio Werks on Queen Street in Toronto. You can download it from the releases section. releases.php#phnq003 Wed, 09 Nov 2005 16:39:31 EDT The second Phranq Audio release is another collection of ghoti techno tracks. These ones come from the turn of the millenium. You can download it from the releases section. releases.php#phnq002 Wed, 02 Nov 2005 15:08:31 EDT The first Phranq Audio release is now available. The release is called Renaissance and consists of four ancient relic techno tracks by ghoti. The music is ten years old, and sounds like it! This is retro-techno. You can download it from the releases section. releases.php#phnq001 Mon, 31 Oct 2005 11:12:07 EDT Phranq Audio is primarily a netlabel specializing in electronic music. The artist roster is fairly small at the moment -- ok, there is only one artist, me (ghoti)! That's good enough for now, but who knows what the future will bring? The first several releases are going to be tracks/live sets that I have done over the years, but that have never seen the light of day. The site is not quite finished yet -- still need to work on the Links and About sections. Enjoy... Mon, 31 Oct 2005 11:03:22 EDT
