Circle of Fifths -Reactor Halls E05Ah, yes it was an EP, whoops.
Comments on Yoshiwara Promo video .
Well shit, I’ll be adjusting posts all morning haha.
Get it: http://hexachordal.bandcamp.com/
If you haven’t tried that, I highly suggest it. *UNF*
Plateau - Hexachordal
I just thought it had a really nice aesthetic and wanted to capture it, before anything else gets added to the side.
Offshore - Hexachordal
My second favourite track off the EP. That he just put up for download again today!
Unfortunately, I can’t tell on this computer. Tom said he was going to upload them remastered, and I do have the old ones on here if you want to play them and decide for yourself.

Edit: I’ve been able to listen now, and yes they are quite different, and much BETTER.
Shallow Ocean - Hexachordal
Originally released June 4th, 2009; re-release February 2nd, 2012.
Look what appeared while I was sleeping guys! GET THIS, I have been wanting him to re-release this for SO LONG. It has album art now :)
From the blog in June, 2009:
“… the genre it slots nicely into is IDM (but if you’re not a genre nerd, ‘electronic’ will do fine), and there are four tracks to it, which are as follows:
Offshore
Plateau
Trench
Reef
It concentrates on underwaterness, and as such, has a really muddy, bassy sound throughout. (in terms of EQ: lots of low frequencies, with highlights on the lower mids and pretty much no highs) I highly recommend turning up the bass, closing your eyes, and enjoying.”
(Used to comes up as Tom Milsom not Hexachordal, which was wrong please change it in your player if you bought it that way!)

This is an EP that I’ve been working on for the last two weeks. It’s called Shallow Ocean, the genre it slots nicely into is IDM (but if you’re not a genre nerd, ‘electronic’ will do fine), and there are four tracks to it, which are as follows (with each one linking to a short sample):

I’m using this screencap because that’s how I saw it. The blog wasn’t pink and black for very long. This is no longer available. (he’s promised a re-release, but I haven’t seen it yet).
EDIT: Re-released Feb 2nd 2012! http://hexachordal.bandcamp.com/album/shallow-ocean
However, we can listen to a poor quality rip of Reef:
And you CAN still listen to the samples on the page:
http://tommilsom.com/shallow-ocean-139.html
and the early version of “Reef” called “undersea” in the Long awaited, underrated podcast from November, 2008.
Long awaited, underrated: posted on 11/20/2008
indigogidni - lolwut - hooray for food - undersea - FM - this sounds familiar…
“lolwut” is fun with lots of electronic sounds.
I separated it into parts in my mind, the second half of it goes with Shallow Ocean for me, the “underwater” sound.
“hooray for food’ has a deeper sound.
“undersea” is an early version of “Reef” on Shallow Ocean, and “this sounds familiar…” is 2.2 {2.8(13) }
I recently obtained permission to post these again (there are six).
You can listen to them all here: http://fuckyeahtommilsom.tumblr.com/TomPodcast

Reef - Tom Milsom

A track from ‘Shallow Ocean’ orginally released Jun 9th, 2009.
This is an audio rip from this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xq0zFt… with clips of Tom that I put on it.
My file of this song is corrupted and won’t let me do anything but play it :/
