Towards the bottom of my blog page, and to the left, is a music player playing my latest electronic music cd by Sitari, called 'The Last Few Years...'. Sequenced and brainstormed over the years 2006 - 2008, the cd has some of Sitari's most mellow and downtempo as well as most experimental music to date. Inspired by the wealth of Chicago's culture both in music and artwork coming from the different neighborhoods of the city, it also even has a song started on a Greyhound bus while traveling near St. Louis that turned out to be one of the strongest tracks on the album. I actually think this is by far my most consistent work to date however, and I think each track stands on its own (that's why I plan on putting it on iTunes and a bunch of other mp3 stores for sale). One of the main differences between this and my other albums is that there's a lot of organ and keyboard sounds, perhaps making it both more atmospheric and accessible... as it has a lot of melody compared to some of the noisier stuff I've done in the past. Which isn't to say this is not noisy; it still has a lot of dissonance and experimentation, I just think that it's a little bit more of a good vibe. Have a listen and let me know what you think.
