The Road Forward.



Now that the label has been officially launched and KAP 001 is out there enjoying life, I thought I'd write a few words about upcoming activities on Cafe Kaput. At this point, KAP 002 and KAP 003 are scheduled for January and May 2011, respectively. Although I can't be any more specific at the moment about the nature of these releases, I can tell you that they're pretty much 'in the can' and ready to go.

As with the D.D.Denham album, the forthcoming releases have enjoyed a long gestation period; one project has been gently developed for most of this year and the other has been in production for four years. The label manifesto is founded on the fact that I simply refuse to release a project until it's ready; it serves no-one in the long term. Some albums take longer than others, but any given project is finished only when it's finished.

Thanks all of you, for the support so far. I hope you continue to enjoy the releases.

  5. Thanks all. The long gestation process is a bit like a slow-proved loaf of sourdough bread. You can use yeast and have a loaf ready in a couple hours. Nothing wrong with that, a lot of good things come out of working quickly.

    On the other hand, a sourdough loaf takes a week (or more) of tending to before it's even ready to bake, but the flavour and texture is worth the wait.

  6. True.. Sometimes my 'best work' (if u can call it that) can be composed in just one night... But I've had work where I've just chiseled away for months on the same track..
