- ARCHIVED NEWS & UPDATES -
The honest to goodness best source for updates on my music is through my myspace music project sites. I will now procede to list them all...
Zyzzybalubah
Hourglass Effect
Coloringbook
Zyzzybalubah's Psychedelic Mixtapes
and if you want to take a small look inside my head...
ok, so that's all the links... now I will say that Hourglass Effect is trying very very hard to finish their first full-length album "What Goes Up..." by the end of this month. It is in it's final stages. now what is Coloringbook? it's another solo project of mine but it consists of songs comprised of many many little sample clips and snippets taken from obscure songs and put together to form entirely new colorful songs. I'm currently working on the first Coloringbook full-length entitled "Infinite Variations Of Black And White", you can hear some of the songs already on the myspace site. It's similiar in sound to Lemon Jelly and the Avalanches. I will most likely be creating a visuals DVD to accompany this album. If you've heard my Psychedelic Mixtapes series, you can now order them from this seperate site zyzzymusic.com/psymix/. If you haven't heard them yet, check them out at the myspace site. As for Zyzzybalubah? for the moment I'm so tied up with all these other projects that I haven't even been able to complete the 4 new Zyzzybalubah songs that i've begun to record. Hopefully I will have the time to put these together and officially begin work on the next zyzzy album, but in most likeliness I will be releasing the Coloringbook album first. - Nick Gathany
FANGDANGO SPECIAL EDITION HALLOWEEN LP In October 2004 I created the 30-minute all-original instrumental halloween-themed EP known as Fangdango. This October the Fangdango album has been extended with a "Part Two" and 2 halloween bonus tracks. A total running length of 53 minutes, all for only $5. Click Here or the picture above for more information. Anyone who purchased Untelligent Life when it was first released may recognise the bonus tracks "the world's smallest coffin" and "fangdango outtake". On any future versions of the "Experiments In Untelligence" bonus disc those 2 tracks will be replaced by "Peripheral (Club-In-A-Cavern Version)" and "Intended Purposes Of The Doldrums", both of these tracks will be available as mp3 downloads in the very near future. - Nick Gathany
The second installment in the zyzzybalubah mixtape series has been born. Mixtapes Vol. 2 "Experiencing Infinity" is an audio adventure consisting of other artist songs spliced together creatively. more information on this CD is in the discography, or just click here. enjoy. - Nick Gathany
My latest full-length came out just 10 days ago, and would you beleive that I would be as crazy to start my next full-length already? If so, you're right, I have. It's going to be an instrumental progressive rock album, but don't let that fool you. It'll still be in the usual zyzzybalubah style (think the last minutes of "The World's Largest Coffin). The title is "Like Something Divine". Here are 2 demo recordings that I created to begin writing the material. Keep in mind, these are very rough, unmixed, unproduced, and unjuiced recordings done with only an electric guitar. The real versions will be much longer and much cooler, you'll see. This is just the jist of it. UPDATE: - Nick Gathany
yes, it's true... i'm stiiiiill recording my second full-length "Untelligent Life". There's been so many projects in the middle of these sessions, that it's been taking much longer than I'd thought. Me and Fran Wiradilaga have been busily recording our first full-length under the name Hourglass Effect (check out the link for some preview samples). I even played bass in a Left Behind show at Penn State University over the weekend. However, all the while I have still been finding the time to work hard on finishing the new Zyzzybalubah record... Finally I now have some proof that I have been making great progress. Check out this small clip of the aprox. 10 minute song "Side-After-Effects"... zyzzybalubahsideafterclip.mp3 I've also completed this cool psychadelic mixtape by creatively fusing together some crazy songs. You can download it with these links, and check out more info on this disc right here.

I'm a little behind, but here's the zyzzy news. I played the song "Bright Eyed Girl(s)" again at Fennarios on December 1st (a little more info is in the "Concerts" section). I have added an Uncle Timmy CD that I produced in 2001 to the discography. We are currently "in the studio", creating his first full-length album. Check UNCLE TIMMY out with this link, uncletimmy.zyzzymusic.com There will be a Bonus Disc which will come free with every purchase of the "Untelligent Life" album (only 2 songs left to record!). The track-listing will feature covers, outtakes, experiments, demo versions, and alternate versions. All of it will be "previously unreleased" material, and will total around 25-30 minutes. Most of, if not all, the tracks have already been recorded. Stay tuned for the debut of the Rand Omland records website.
For the first time in 3 years, Zyzzybalubah played live tonight at Fennarios Coffee House in downtown West Chester, PA. Open mic night at Fennarios is every wednesday, and hopefully I can play as many of these as possible. LIVE RECORDING: "Bright Eyed Girl(s)" MP3 DOWNLOAD
