Progress on the Unsalted Pants album has been slow as I have been working on other projects, like a book of poetry. I am hoping to put in more time on this project in the future.
Meanwhile, there are some Superluminal Pachyderm t-shirts, aprons, and tote bags available at the Superluminal Pachyderm Stuff page at Cafepress.com. I've been thinking about adding more things to this "store."
Don't bump your head on the pipes.

Recording has started for the Unsalted Pants album. It's going slowly as expected, but some progress has been made. I'm still selecting and writing material for it. About seven minutes of the title track has been laid down, but tweaking procedures are still active. I also wrote the lyrics for a five-part song called "Hapes" which will be part of this project.
It's been three months and I finally found my way out of the clothes hamper. About three months ago I noticed that the manufacturer of my CD's, Cafepress.com, experienced some sort of severe bug that prevented images from loading on audio CD products. Because of this, it was uncertain if purchasing a CD would result in a customer actually getting it in the form I wanted it to be in. Thus, I dismantled the Buy CDs page. A few weeks ago, it seems Cafepress.com fixed their problem. Like most IT departments, after a half dozen helpdesk tickets, the problem mysteriously goes away and no one announces the fix. The bottom line is they are again available for purchase, just in time for the holidays.
So, have I recorded any new music? No, I've been stuck in a clothes hamper for the last three months. But my brain has some ideas. I'm sure it won't be too long before I download it into a series of off-key notes.
Anyway, if I don't see you before the holidays, have a good one.

Welcome to the official home of Superluminal Pachyderm. After several years of having pages at various music sites (starting with mp3.com) and with a discography including five studio albums, I felt it was time for the Superluminal Pachyderm project to have a new home all its own. It resides within the xaagma.com domain, my little internet playground.
So, what's happened since the Sea of Peas? Not much I'm afraid. I've got a couple of projects on paper, but no attempt has been made to really put something together. The next album is tentatively called "Unsalted Pants" and I hope to start recording it sometime this fall. Another project that I hope to work on at the same time has been given the name "Bonehead," but I suspect I will give it a better title in the future. These two projects are going to end up being the sixth and seventh Superluminal Pachyderm albums.
Another project that I expect will take a good amount of time to finish will be an experimental work that I will release under a different name. It will be the first album under the name Amalgamated Hippopotamus. The kind of music I envision for this project will be sort of an offshoot of some of the types of experiments I did on the Sea of Peas album. I'm planning on inventing a language for the lyrics to be sung in.
Thanks for stopping by.
Kindest regards,
KR
