new e.p. released on december 27, 2010

I’m happy to announce the release of my new e.p. thirty.sevenDAYS. Recorded this past October and November, these works were created in reaction to social observations and personal experiences I had throughout the month of October. Clocking in at around 32 minutes, thirty.sevenDAYS is a contemplative release capturing some of the mood and psychology found in my earlier albums from close to a decade ago. Blending lush and ambient atmospheres with minimal electronic, chiptune experimentation; thirty.sevenDAYS has turned out to be one of my most personally satisfying moments as a electronic musician and soundArtist.

thirty.sevenDAYS was released on December 27, 2010. It’s now available through all good digital music outlets including the iTunes Store, eMusic, Amazon, Rhapsody and many other services. In addition to these retailers, thirty.sevenDAYS will also be available for purchase directly though the store at jasonsloan.com.

corruptedhorizon now available!

I’m pleased to announce my 13th studio album corruptedHorizon is now available for purchase as a physical CD or a high quality [320kbps mp3] digital download with full artwork. Orders for CDs can be placed now and will begin shipping on September 4th. Visit the STORE section to purchase. corruptedHorizon will also  available at all quality digital retailers.

“Sloan builds upward from a base of gauzy guitar washes peppered with sharp beats, drum loops and intriguing, inventive clips of sound. The mix of texture and smoothness, ease and complexity, is perfect. Affording this disc a very focused listen is an absolute must.” – Hypnagogue Reviews

<< BUY HERE >>

The new album clocks in around 50 minutes and includes six all new works:

> sunset.withoutAdawn [preview]
1web.mp3
> greyscale.spiral [preview]
2web.mp3
> dryANDabsolute. [preview]
3web.mp3
> corrupted.Horizon [preview]
4web.mp3
> forward. [preview]
5web.mp3
> particlesof.LIGHT [full track]
6web.mp3

Stylistically, corruptedHorizon picks up where my 2009 studio album [ — ] left off. Inspired by my live performances over the last decade, corruptedHorizon melds bits of IDM, ambient, pure electronic, glitch, shoegaze and subtle tribal leanings to spin a complex but enjoyable listening experience that I’ve been told defies easy classification.

july 30th stillstream radio performance now archived

In case you missed my live  performance on StillStream Ambient Radio  July 30, 2010, it’s now archived and can be streamed via the audio player below. In the next few days, the show will be moved to the  RADIO CONCERTS archive located under the SOUND tab above. A big thanks goes out to Darrell Burgan at StillStream for having me on his program to perform.

With the exception of corruptedHorizon all the music performed was written specifically for this concert. All voices and ambient noise were extracted live from the airwaves using various radio equipment, scanners and receivers. Among the more interesting transmissions  picked up during the performance were voices from a home intercom system and a brief cordless phone conversation.

I hope you enjoy the music.

the vigil event: Mandala of the Four Directions


This past Saturday, DJ Dubble8 [Erik Spangler] and I went into the studio for the first time to “practice” our live set for the upcoming “Vigil” all night music festival on April 1, 2010. Erik and I come from very different backgrounds in our approach to music and sound so we were both excited while a bit curious how our styles would mesh. Coming to the rehearsal with some gear but no plans or sound map we simply plugged in and began to play. The result were three amazing 20 minute sessions, two of which were unfortunately not recorded. I was so pleased with how this final session turned out I decided to post it and make it available below. If you’re into the spaced out, fractal groove dronescape, this will probably something you’ll like.  Erik and I plan to do some “official” recording over the summer.

Hope you enjoy the track.

*Please keep in mind this was recorded to a solid state Marantz field recorder directly from the board so the fidelity should not be compared to conventional studio recordings.
