I Found a Box EP Released!

Hey folks!

Sorry it’s been a while–I’ve been busy!  However: the fated day has arrived!  The I Found a Box EP is finished and up for sale on Bandcamp!

I’ve also just completed a poster which contains lyrics for each of the songs in the EP, and you can find it here.

If you’ve listened to my first album, you’ll notice a pretty massive difference in the style of each piece, but I think there are common threads, too.  I’ll leave that one up to you.

Anyhow, I hope you enjoy the music!

The Night Wind lyrics booklet up for grabs!

Hey Folks!

I’ve just finished putting the album booklet for The Night Wind into a PDF, so you will now be able to read the lyrics to each of the songs here!  I do hope you’ll take a look, as personally, I think the lyrics are the strongest part of the album, and they aren’t always easy to decipher just by listening.  Included with the booklet are a number of small drawings I accumulated in my wallet throughout high school, so I hope you enjoy those as well.

In related news, The Night Wind itself is no longer available for free download; however, you can purchase it for only $5 via Bandcamp.  Furthermore, tomorrow I will be recording final lyrics for the four tracks on my I Found a Box EP, which should be released sometime soon!  More news on that later.

Best,
Nash

Daily Composing Gambit

Hey Folks,

I’ve started a composing exercise ritual in which I write a short piece every night at 10pm.  I started with the goal of completing them between 10-11pm, and I thereby dubbed the project “TenEleven”; however, I quickly found that a one-hour window of time just isn’t enough (last night I was up until 1am fiddling different elements and synthesizer voices).

I’m also hoping to build some of these off of certain pieces of inspiration–art, poetry, word, photos, etc.  If you’d like to submit some inspiration for me, especially something you created, then I’d be delighted to see it!  You can submit content through my Tumblr.

I’ve been posting these pieces to my personal Soundcloud account, where they are available for free download.  Get them while you can, because after 20 or so, I will be taking them all down, tweaking them, and compiling them into an album.  After that, they won’t be free anymore!

I have three of them up now, as well as three other keyboard improv tracks, all of which I’m a fair bit proud of.

More news in the way of I Found a Box EP and the booklet for The Night Wind to come shortly!

The Night Wind, official launch! And a bit more.

Well, the day I’ve been itching at for months and months and more is finally here!  My first album, The Night Wind, has launched and is officially available through Bandcamp.  I’m releasing it under the moniker Street Nymphs, partially in the hopes that Street Nymphs will eventually become a full-on band and consist of more than just me.  Until then, I’ll settle with my ethereal forest sprite companions.

I’m releasing The Night Wind with Bandcamp’s delightful name-your-price feature, so you may download it for free if you like.  I figure, when it comes down to it, I would rather have many people listening than a few people paying. If this philosophy eventually makes a poor man of me… well, at least my album will still be on Bandcamp?  Ah, we’ll figure that one out later.

In other news, the coffee house games are coming along quite well.  I wish I had art to share with you, but I had something of a cross-hatching mishap the other day and have yet to retrace my earlier design.  Tomorrow Renee and I will venture out to a number of our coffee shops to deliver flyers and take a few photographs, and I am doing my best to have the Kickstarter project launched by then.  I will post another brief update as soon as that happens.

Best wishes, and I hope you enjoy the first ever Street Nymphs album!
