At present, we have three members: phia, Zee and Naf. We're always on the lookout for more, so if you'd like to join, simply get in touch with us at one of the above addresses. phia sez: If you haven't read it before, as of this release Homer j is no longer with Transient. He has left for other ventures and has also left us with some great tunes for this album. I consider it to be some of his best work and it seems a nice parting gift almost. I think it's indicative of Homer's involvement with Transient from day one, that he should be putting so much time and effort into his final release. Enjoy your future, Homer j. =) Although Homer is gone, Transient lives on. A few people have been saying that my style has become more defined and "clinical" (ok?) and i contribute this to having worked so closely with Homer and learning an awful lot from him in all aspects of tracking. After discussions with the rest of the Transient "cru" (hi luNix =P) i have taken over Homer's old role of all-round group leader, although i hate the notion that Transient has one single "leader". After all, we contribute equally, so we all lead Transient in someway. Now, down to the release info. I'm not big on writing lots of information for releases, so i'll just do a little bit about the fact that all these songs were written in four tracks using nothing other than... well... you can check the equipment list below for yourself. About copyright. Well the same deal goes for this album too. As Homer wrote in the first album's ("Visions") release text: [Anyone can remix, rehash, rip, use, hack, and play these songs anywhere, anytime, with anything that they want to. The only little rule is that you should credit "Homer j", "phia" or "Transient" as the original author/s of the songs/samples that you use. If you do remix any of these tunes, it would be nice if you could send a copy of whatever you come up with to one of the above addresses. Thanks.] And yes. This album is being pressed to a CD. Along with some nice photo work on the cover from a friend of ours, it should be a rather neat looking (and sounding) package. We're not going to dominate the market or anything, but i'd like to remind people of a little phrase Homer wrote in the "Visions" readme file: "If we sell some copies, great. If we don't, who cares? This was, is and always will be a fun project. However, a little bit of professionalism never hurt anyone." More info on the CD soon.
