It Came From 1977

(cross posted on The Odds Are One).

The Odds Are One and The Calculus Affair are pleased to announce the release of bad quarto*, a ten and one-half song E.P. recorded for the 2008 RPM Challenge (which has, as will be noted by those of you possessing clever and new-fangled calendar-reading skills, just ended).

The full album will be released in approximately twelve lines of text. Here now is the advance single from the album. Click play. You know you want to.

The Calculus Affair quoteth now from our liner notes as regards bad quarto*:

This album is composed entirely of songs about or pertaining to plays by William Shakespeare. In addition to being The Calculus Affair's effort for the 2008 RPM Challenge, [Bad Quarto] is also an E.P. which heralds the release of a future album of epic scope: one song for each of Shakespeare's plays (37 or 38, depending upon whom you read). If you are a fan of The Calculus Affair, and you enjoy excessively long albums that sound like they fell out of 1977, keep an eye peeled.

And now, the long (for an entirely abstract and arbitrary definition of the word, "long") awaited (for a definition of "awaited" etc. etc.) downloadable mp3 version of "bad quarto*".

This EP also comes with the fun built-in game, "Guess Which Play The Song Goes With." This game may or may not actually be fun. As with all music by The Calculus Affair, we remind you of the following: Unauthorized duplication is strictly encouraged. We hope you enjoy.

Actual humans with actual control over music that gets released in the actual world (and who are not in any way friends or relatives of ours) have deemed some of the music of The Calculus Affair worthy of release on their compilation CDs. Men Of Luggage can now be had on the album The Best Of Sound Aid (buy from CD Baby, proceeds benefit Heifer International). The Man Who Used To Hunt Cougars For Bounty appears on Indiescent Exposure, a compilation of RPM 2007 artists. This album is tentatively to be released on the Hear Music label in the fall (though this is the music business, so that promise is essentially meaningless until the album actually comes out). In the meantime, it can be streamed here.

A more empassioned plea for you (yes, you) to buy these albums can be found here. The Calculus Affair again thanks you for your time.

Music. Makes The People. Come Together.

I haven't really decided what I'm doing with this blog. I owned the domain name for my band, I needed a homepage for it, Blogger is easy, &c., &c. Almost all my regular updates, however, will come from my main blog, The Odds Are One.

In February I participated in the RPM Challenge, and recorded an album of songs in a month. It was

a) The first real release of any kind by the Calculus Affair, and
b) Very, very rough.

Therefore I spent odd hours during the next couple of months trying to fix the horrendous mistakes, off-key singing, and bad mixing. The results, and various other elements of musical detritus, can be found from the "Songs" link at right. "The Man Who Used To Hunt Cougars For Bounty," also linked at right, is so far my most popular song (for a definition of "popular" that means, "some of my friends liked it").

I had some long spiel about the future of music and sharing and...no, no I really didn't. I hope you'll follow the links, download, and share. The Calculus Affair thanks you for listening.

Sincerely,
The Calculus Affair
