Something Old Turned Something New
2007 flew past without a single Ovrian release - or gig, for that matter. However, I didn't just settle down living quietly in the countryside, forgetting about the follies of making music! While keeping a (relatively) low profile, I've been working. Mostly on non-solo stuff, but still.

Some fruits of this work is coming out in 2008. One of them is the 7” that’s going to come out on Drone Records (see their site for up-to-date news on when its coming out). Another one is the “something old turned something new” mentioned in the topic.

In 2006 I put out a very limited edition CDr called Estraier, an aural travelogue of my Russian mini-tour (with Niko Skorpio aiding me on stage). The CDr was sent to those who pre-ordered Mosaick the Serpent / Vipera Aurea 2EP, with a small number of copies given away to Russian gig organizers and a few copies sold to those who knew to ask for it. This CDr was well received and there were queries about releasing it properly. I wasn’t quite as easily talked into that as with the “first release consisted only one copy” Gegendurchgangenzeit, but mulling the thought over, decided to take a new look at the material and seeing what would happen.

What happened is a seven track album (Estraier consisting of six tracks) called Revisited. It is still an aural travelogue and the opening track stayed pretty much the same – the rest of it got reworked. Revisited will be released on Some Place Else this year, “soon” as the Management says. Stay tuned for further info! There’s a taster track available at myspace, do give it a listen.

Oh, sorry about the state of my site, that will get a fresh look in April.
