October 2005 marked the geographic relocation of Still Inertia and its studio, which has expanded to incorporate the first time use of computer assistance - specifically Sony's ACID Pro 5.0, Soundforge 8, and ProTools. At the moment, 16 songs have been created, soon to be widdled down, hand-picked, and finalized for the forthcoming album. There will be an unusually unique blend of vocal tracks as well as instrumentals this time around; all guided by Jason Kraley's somewhat frenetic experiences and adjustments (or misalignments) of relocating to Philadelphia. Perhaps the highlight of this album will be the introductory use of an actual Steinway Grand Piano! Joining the rotation of existing contributors already including Shwag McGinty, Gooding, Amanda North, and Mike Williams, Still Inertia is warmly welcoming the assistance of guest technicians, musicians, and lyrical writers from across the country including Roto Visage, Elaine Diflavis (from former Philadelphia's "The Side-Effects"), Toshio Mana (from project::in•fin•i•ty), and Courtney Smith... and the list of guest talent is growing as of this moment. The new album, entitled "Invested", also carries with it tremendous support, guidance and voluntary technical assistance from Jason Popejoy, Stephen Keever, Alex Vega, Zack Berman, John Rowland, Keith Royer and last, but very not least, Still Inertia is honored to have the most distinct pleasure of having the Red Rabbit himself go out on a wonderous limb and created a custom made painting and artwork for the design of the upcoming album cover. His vision will appropriately serve as its embodiment of the most mentally dynamic range of emotional wreckage and beauty in audible form Still Inertia has ever composed to date. "Invested" is sure to bring more than one unpleasantly pleasant surprise to your ears. FEBRUARY 2008: Yes, Still Inertia has constantly been pushing forward with the now over-2-year ongoing album recording of "Invested". Slated realistically for its professionally pressed, printed, and duplicated sometime in the summer or fall of 2008. So check this out: Still Inertia had the pleasure of having HIVEWERM ESCHATON ( www.myspace.com/kroe ) drop by the studio and graciously laid out some tracks. Here's the interesting twist to the continually twisting "Invested" project: Hivewerm, originally from the UK, is a talented and promisingly upcoming electronic rapper and experimentalist (think Massive Attack meets The Orb, with a touch of Tricky and Jack Dangers' dub work). This week, we focussed on a song that honestly was going to be trashed from the album list until Hivewerm gave it new life! The song is called "Glass People" and will mark the first Still Inertia song with a guest rapper, whose inherent accent has given this song a completely new feeling and deeper meaning. Embroiled in the insanity of several other projects, Jason Kraley (the brain stem of Still Inertia) will be working on reassembling and working with all the fresh (and raw) material Hivewerm blessed this song with... over the next several weeks. So, to sum up, Hivewerm Eschaton joins the ever-growing collective of guest musicians making this album happen: The Philharmonia Orchestrations of England, Gooding, Roto Visage (and Jason Popejoy), Elaine Diflavis (from former Philadelphia's "The Side-Effects"), Toshio Mana (from project::in•fin•i•ty), Shwag McGinty, Amanda North, Mike Williams, Courtney Smith, Keith Royer and artwork from The Red Rabbit! Would you like to help make this speed this album up to see the light of day, quite possibly in a local store near you? Anything is appreciated... so I invite you to come into my studio and chill, spread the word and thank you for your patience. JANUARY 2008:Still Inertia could use your help with the new 2008 album "Invested"! Jason Kraley (the man behind Still Inertia) personally invites you INTO the CRC Music Studio to find out how you can help and to give you a special opportunity to hear 5 songs that have been created since the beginning of this "Invested" album project.... just to give you a glimpse of how much time, effort and emotion has been invested into the ultimate goal: The first professionally national duplication, publication and release of the album in 2008. For more information, click here. OCTOBER 2006: The following two songs will be on the forthcoming third album entitled "Invested" and are here to give you a taste of the diversity and evolution that is flowing out of Still Inertia.
