Reaching. is officially out of hiatus. I feel comfortable with my workload that I can continue to release material at a steady pace.
The Reaching./In Cat Hat Pants split .rar will be posted onto the Reaching. website within the next day or two.
"The Laptop Sessions" CDr that was originally to appear via SRA records fell through. The owner thought that my project would fit better on another label. I have been talking to Junky of Torturing Nurse about releasing the disc, and may possibly happen in the future. If this falls through, I will be pressing the disc myself in an edition of 10-15 copies. The Laptop Sessions consists of 4 tracks in about 50-60 minutes of digital harsh noise recorded in dorm about a month or two ago.
I have also been debating with releasing an old cassette on disc that I recorded sometime early in Reaching.'s existence. The cassette was a one-of-a-kind trade to Nurture Abuse who ironically never traded anything in return for it. It consists of 4-6 tracks in 45 minutes of barbaric pre-laptop digital noise recorded live to tape. Lots of loops, feedback, and even distorted vocals. This Reaching. material is so far from the current incarnation that I question whether or not I feel I want to release it.
I have also recorded new material to tape which I plan on mastering and possibly releasing in the near future. 60 minutes of audio in approximately 2-3 tracks. Pure analog harsh noise, no laptop used at all. This piece remains yet untitled.
The Reaching. parts of the Dotabata/Reaching. collaboration have been recorded and sent to Carey for his parts. A title for the project, album, and pieces have yet to be determined. The release consists of Reaching.'s dark ambient sound collages with Carey's guitarwork layered ontop to create a blackened ambient sound.
