2018 Curious Automata Releases I’ve Produced
When I’m not making weird noises myself, I encourage others to make them. Actually, I “produce” music by annoying people until they give me albums to release. Here’s what that’s led to so far in 2018:
Richard Ellis―Doing Less with Fewer Notes
Solo improvisations on electric guitar from Colorado’s most befuddling guitar player.
3ology―Live in Longmont, Volumes 1 and 2
2 releases that capture 3ology at its finest: live and up-close.

Play One Song
Play One Song is an in-depth instrumental exploration of Richard’s song Sixteen Roses, featuring Louis Carrillo on percussion and Kendal Crews on bass along with Richard on electric guitar. Over 72 minutes of continuous music, the trio finds darkness and light in one of Richard’s best compositions. Listen to the original demo with vocals off Songs Found Under the Couch, then check this out to hear how great musicians can bring new depth to songs.
A quick note: as executive producer I shortened Play One Song by 10 minutes so it would fit a single CD. This is the most corporate thing I have ever done. I have become a suit, mea culpa.
Sifferson, a new album by Graphite Addiction.
CD: $15.00 Amazon | iTunes Graphite Addiction returns with our 3rd studio album. It’s a set of 7 instrumentals, a pair of songs, and a spoken word piece woven together to begin the tale of Sifferson.
