This is where I share and sell my music, post about my studio along with music and art that I find incredibly interesting. I have years of experience as a recording engineer and I'm available to record or mix your project. You can read about me here, listen to my music here and read about my studio here. Feel free to contact me at any time.
This has been a long time coming, but as of today my new album Semiotics comes out today on Function Equivalent Recordings. I’ve spent an immeasurable amount of time on this recording. It has been recorded in my home studio over the past few years as I have moved around. At times, I had no studio and I wasn’t able to work on the album at all. Other times, I was so full of ideas I couldn’t get them down quick enough. This is the object of that process.
You can buy the record here: Buy Tate Eskew’s Semiotics Record
You can either buy a downloadable version in pretty much any format you like, or you can add 2 bucks to the total for a limited edition hand packaged CD (100 available) Fold-over jacket inside of a poly bag w/ sticker. Here are a couple of photos of the CD. Click to see a larger photo.
Feel free to share this page or the page where you can buy the album on your Facebook page.
I will be posting these live improvised guitar pieces as I do them. I’m hoping I can make this a weekly thing. I’m also in the process of recording a full length record of more complex drone/ambient music. More information will be available soon.
Also, watch for my new rock record, which should be coming out within the next month. Until then.
Today my new ambient/noise EP entitled Modality is available to the public. I’ve been writing, improvising and recording this type of music for years, yet this is my first release to the public. I have always done this type of stuff for myself as a release from my normal songwriting and I felt like it was time to let a few songs go. It’s full of resonating drones, noise guitar and quiet patience.
You can buy a limited edition (100 available), hand-stamped CD-R of the EP by CLICKING HERE. If you buy the CD you get an immediate download of the record as well. You can buy just a download if that’s your thing, too.
In other news. I’ve completed two songs that will be released on 7″ vinyl in the near future. This too will be released on FUNCTIONAL EQUIVALENT RECORDINGS sometime in the future. I’m also working on a song for a split 7″ with my friend CHAD BLINMAN. Finally, I also have a rock record with a more traditional approach to songwriting that will be released within the next two months. It’s a guitar driven full length record and I’m really excited for everyone to hear it.
Well, that about sums up the current and near future news.
About three and half years ago, I spoke with Caldwell, from The Bubblegum Complex, about doing a record together and it really never panned out as we got caught up with life. With my new record in the bag and set to be released this Autumn, I’ve been starting other projects with people and I thought now is as good a time as any to see if Caldwell wanted to ease back into doing some songs. Caldwell is recovering from surgery in Mississippi so we couldn’t really get together in my studio to record some new stuff, so what we did was started with an acoustic track that Caldwell had hastily recorded to get his idea down. He was having trouble writing a lyric and melody for the song…so I took a stab. In the end, I only ended up doing the vocal/lyric and adding a mellotron to the track that has a huge pre-delay reverb out to a delay. I cleaned up the track a little frequency-wise and here is what we have…our first attempt at collaboration. We plan on doing more of this and hopefully once Caldwell has recovered, we’ll be able to write and record a whole noise-filled record together here in Nashville. For now, you’ll probably see tracks pop up here and there on this site.
