C.M.S.O. reviewed by recent music heroes
Always pleased when our music is still making an impact a couple of years on. Perennial favorite Recent Music Heroes just reviewed Orca, Attack!’s C.M.S.O. The review is in Estonian (which I think is a first for us!); here’s a Google translate-generated excerpt:
Doo wop, panoramic Americana, sardonic electronica, music from academia mixed into something magical. The light blue American Dream that fades out of reach — it was already in the formula — and is replaced by a real life killer whale attack on the symbols of affluent life — as has recently happened with yachts in the Mediterranean
Many thanks to Borealiscape, aka Agier Music.
More Accolades for Sensasi
Biggest congrats to animator Weng Shan Lim, whose short film Sensasi (which uses Orca, Attack!’s “Literature Review” from C.M.S.O. as its music) is making the rounds on the film festival circuit. Most recently, Sensasi was named a Finalist in Lift-Off Global Network’s Lift-Off Filmmaker Sessions, and was selected for the 34th Cinemagic Young Filmmaker Film Festival in Belfast and the Student Selections of the 8th Edition of Punto Y Raya Festival in Lisbon. And, last but not least, Sensasi won Best Experimental film at the XI Festival Universitario Audiovisual EMBRIÓN.
We’re so honored that our music was included in this wonderful work by Weng Shan, and that it’s getting the acclaim it deserves.

New Release: Cities & Memory Music For Sleep
Cities & Memory just released their newest project, Music For Sleep, “a worldwide collaboration between artists and field recordists to create a unique collection of compositions specially designed for rest, sleep and tranquility.” I used Anton Pickard’s Peeper frogs in the spring to create an ambient soundscape for slar phase titled “The Crucifer’s Cradle Song.” Search for “elizabeth” and our field recording/song set will be the only thing that comes up (or listen to it on audioboom). There are nearly 300 compositions and field recordings in the collection spanning 41 countries that can be navigated by country, category, or artist. Hope it’s useful in getting you to sleep a little easier.
