Alex Staines new poetry project under way

The follow-up to Seclusion Data, a new poetry project titled Time of the Archons, is well under way. The focus with Archons is on a music/poetry album and video, rather than on the printed volume and live performances that characterised Seclusion Data.

Part of the Archons project is to re-record the vocal and re-mix the Seclusion Data tracks currently on Soundcloud, and re-release this as an album on Bandcamp, prior to the release of Archons.

Steve Wolf has composed keyboard tracks for the Archons album, and I'm rapt that talented Wellington composer Brad Jenkins is working on electronic music to accompany Steve's piano compostions.

And of course, the poems. I've finished 12 out of 36. The Muse is an inconsistent diety, or rather my responses to her are inconsistent. I know what I'm doing and the poems will be finished - I'm thinking around mid-2016 (this year).
