I produced this album in 2004 with an intended release, but found I wasn't happy with it. Instead, I began work on Weary Demons, with the intention of coming back to this. Alas, I never did.

Here it is, for free, in its unmastered, raw glory. I hope you enjoy it. Please visit my Bandcamp page for more goodies.

I’ve been a busy body lately. And loving every minute of it.

First, I released Havia, my 7th studio album, which I’m sure you’re already familiar with since it’s plastered all over the site. You can also find it on CDBaby, iTunes and Amazon (soon on Spotify and others). I should also mention that your assistance getting me rated and reviewed on iTunes/Amazon is highly favored. It only takes a few seconds!

Second, I released the short EP “Evolution of Complex Beings.” I wanted to explore my penchant for synth without the complexities of session musicians and editing.

...and the single “Semra.”

Third, I’ve started obsessing over remixes.

First up, my take on Chrysta Bell’s “The Truth Is...” originally produced by David Lynch (he also plays guitar, and I got to fiddle around with his guitar track, which was cool).



Secondly, my take on some celtic lushness by Blissphemy:



Feedback is groovy. Since I tend to give away a ton of download codes on Facebook, you might also like to join me there.

Behold my new “Steampunk meets Jetsons” microphone, the Blue Reactor:

This thing is a beauty, and it’s heavy as crap (my only complaint). You could probably take out a zombie if you tossed this gently at their head. I love the sound of this microphone.

Here’s a ‘mic test turned ambient percussion jam’ that I put together last night to explore the rich possibilities of the Blue Reactor.



If you’re looking for a sub-$500 large diaphragm condenser, I would definitely recommend this one for your arsenal. I didn’t even have to mic the backs of the djembes or cajon. Of course, it helps to have a room treated with acoustic panels. This thing is extra-sensitive. It will pick up any sound in your house. Be sure you have a proper room for this beautiful beast.

Angela Hail is a lady of impeccable musical taste. She’s also a writer, blogger, and friend. Here’s what she has to say about the new album (and yes, I’m still blushing).

ALBUM REVIEW & GUIDED TOUR - Novachild “Havia” - 11/29/11- by Angela Hail

I have been wandering through the varied terrain of Havia, the 7th studio album of musical artist Novachild, for the past several days. This vast, sweeping vision of ambient electronica is easy to get lost in, and difficult to leave. The artist describes this latest work as “the soundtrack of an imaginary place.” It certainly is that. A land of inspiration and yearning and adventure. I'd like to give you a guided tour.

The album kicks off with “Analog Revolutionary,” a soaring testimony to all that is true and pure and fulfilling about being alive. This is the prize at the end of a journey, hard won and well fought. It is also the hope and adrenaline of a journey's beginning--that moment when you are about to step off the cliff to see if you can really fly. It is the moment of enlightenment and of connection to something greater . . . something larger and more real than anything you have ever experienced. And when you finally let go, you find that you are weightless.


Havia then sweeps you off into “The Grand Stream,” which feels immediately like stepping into a gladiator's circle. This is where the story truly takes off, where the plot gets laid and the substance, the risk, is first realized. If this album were the story of an uprising, “Analog Revolutionary” would be the beginning spark of a revolutionary idea. “The Grand Stream,” then, would be the revolution itself. With huge swells of crowd chanting and pulsing rhythms along with an undercurrent of danger, you know just where you are. You've become a part of the flow, a part of the Grand Stream, and there is no turning back.


“Kiss that Baby,” a little more fun and a little more chill, takes you to a place where perhaps you meet the master, the timeless one, who is at once beautifully, perfectly young and inconceivably old. This is one who will give you the knowledge you need to reach the next stage. You listen. You pay attention in a way you don't think you ever have before. Something in this moment is vital and you don't want to miss a single beat.


The master then takes you through the next track, a place known as “Ice Cold,” where your new-found knowledge and skills are tested. Questions are asked and answered. The challenge is laid before you, with everything at stake.


And then you come, utterly alone, to “Cultivate the Void”--a dark, rhythmic masterpiece that feels at once heart-thumpingly primal, with its hand drums and otherworldly female voice (both urging and questioning, for what you do not know), juxtaposed against the supreme refinement of a jazzy horn section which transports you to a glittering ballroom complete with mambo dancers and laughing guests drunk on fine wine. “Cultivate the Void” is the most complicated of dreams. And as you awake in a fever-sweat, plagued by strange, disconnected images, you know it may be the most significant moment of your entire quest.


The next track, “Sleepytime,” is the sound of peace and reassurance. All is not yet lost, young one. There is still hope. It is a flying unicorn of a tune, and yet it brings you back down to earth, to the womb, where you are loved and protected in a haven of soft light and sound.


Finally, in the cyclic nature of all good stories, Havia ends with “Our Pleasant Moments Fly,” a tune that completes the journey by patting you on the back and then handing you your next mission. The village has been saved, you've won the battle, but the greater war rages on. It is time for your next great adventure. And, if you play this album on repeat, as I've been doing, “Our Pleasant Moments Fly” flows back into “Analog Revolutionary”--back to the beginning . . . and the end . . . and the beginning.

This is your imagination on Novachild. Any questions?

Dana, aka “DarkKitty, the Sadistic Minx,” is variety performer, optical illusionist, and event promoter in Tulsa, OK. She is also a Model/Spokeswoman at Fatman Concepts Photography. She is the face and voice of the company, as well as providing makeup, costuming and posing.

I had the pleasure of assisting DarkKitty Productions with helping to facilitate a Red Cross Benefit show. “Red Cross Rocks,” held in the summer of 2010 at Club Utopia in Tulsa, OK, was an inspiring and successful event with a lot of hard work and passion put behind it. My band, “The Living Machines,” also managed to squeeze in a set. :)

Earlier today, I asked her what she thought of my new album, and this is what she wrote.



Review of Novachild’s 2011 album “Havia”
by Dayna VanHauen, “DarkKitty” of DarkKitty Productions
11/22/2011

When you think of the name Novachild, what is the first thing that comes to your mind?

Try separating the two words that complete the name and you get; “Nova”: Plural Novae or novas. A white dwarf star that suddenly and temporarily becomes extremely bright as a result of the explosion at its sun of material accreted from an expanding companion star. Next the word, “child”: a youth of gentle birth. Both perfectly matching to a tee description of the artist, Bruce Rich aka Novachild.

Every composition I have heard of his was a pure burst of brilliance in my ear drums that had a huge impact on my inner youth. I had the pleasure of listening to Novachild in the past, and I have always become easily lost in his compositions. The blends of ambient sounds and waves of many instruments help guide you into an entire new world far better than the everyday one.

As most of his music reminds me of a score from a life inspired movie, certain songs always stood out to me more than others. A perfect example is the song “Analogue Revolutionary”. This song is definitely a song I’d like to blast through the speakers in my car as I drive a long winding road. The many sounds that come together in a multitude of percussion and the electronic patterns is perfect for soothing the soul and guiding you through another dimension. The music promotes carefree thought.

Another song that stood out to me was the song “Kiss That Baby”. Knowing that Novachild is a relatively new father of a beautiful baby, I felt the strong love he has for his bundle of joy come through his talents. The distant sounds of babies natural cooing and giggling took me right back to the days that my very own bundle was in infant stage. The playful electronic tone and robotic chants of baby kissing that carried through the song that took me back a couple of years to when I was looking down into the sparkling eyes of my offspring.

Last but not least, the next song that stood out was “Our Pleasant Moments Fly”. I really can’t even explain why this song stood out to me. Perhaps, the genius jazzy influence that roared together, or perhaps it was a message subliminally implanted into my brain. Either way, the song was sensational!

Novachild is one artist that I look forward to every album that is released. Each album just gets better and better. I highly recommend this artist to anyone who enjoys tracks of pure relaxation, message and inspiration.

I’m constantly amazed with the level of quality in the Netlabel realm. Telafonica is no exception, rather, they are the rule.

Telafonica is a “complex web of permanent and transient members,” though my ears hear a level of sympatico and energy that rarely comes from tight-knit groups who live close and practice often. Read more about them here. Combining an experimental pop flair with bold beats, moody textures and rhythms processed from a place not unlike Earth but slightly more hyper-dimensional, Telafonica tickles my music-bone in a way that, say, Bjork can only do when collaborating with the likes of Matmos.



Next up, Sunna Gunnlaugs.

Long Pair Bond is the kind of Jazz that doesn’t hit you upside the head. Rather, the moody minimalism crawls slowly into the nervous system, draining away the tension that makes a person feel less than human, coaxing one gently into a cozy, warm space of comfortable sensuality. This is how Jazz will sound like in the afterlife. Love it.

‎"Are you a fan of innovative electronic music? Do your imagination a favor and have a listen to the latest offering from Novachild, aka Bruce Rich. Billed as 'the soundtrack of an imaginary place,' I'm here to tell ya- it just so happens that I've BEEN there and it totally sounded like this."

NEW SONG "SMART CAR"

http://novachildmusic.bandcamp.com/track/smart-car
This short and sweet song is my interpretation of driving down a moderately busy neighborhood street in a smart car.

For reals. I'm not just being pretentious. The best thing, however, is that I wrote it on the same day "Havia" was released. Inspired by a productivity buzz, three cups of special coffee, and a sudden urge to twiddle, "Smart Car" is my homage to liberation from infinite possibility.

Due to a recent computer crash, I'm having to mix on an older, slower mac. It's very different from anything on "Havia," but thus is the life of someone who can't play in the same room all day. Enjoy and share.

MORE ALBUMS AVAILABLE + SINGLE TRACKS

I've spent much of the weekend organizing and uploading my music to Bandcamp. I've also managed to restore my previously 'lost' album "INSILICO." After spending 2 years writing material and tweaking the album, I suffered a freak multiple hard drive crash that wiped all of my work, including the pre-masters AND my offline backup. Yeah, it happens apparently.

Fortunately, I tend to make discs of pre-release material for friends and occasionally stash them among my chaotic CD collection. I was able to reconstruct the album from these and a live show I managed to capture back in 2008.

Following is a list of available titles:

Quick update:

Here’s a fun video I made to my new song “Analogue Revolutionary,” which is also making its public debut in said video. The poetry was written by myself quite a few years ago and originally featured in the liner notes to “Traveller.” I decided to transport the travel theme into this song as a homage to where I’ve been. I hope you enjoy, and please share on your respective social media outlets to help spread the word about Novachild.

As some of you may remember, Novachild headlined at the Living Arts OK Electric music festival in years past. I also assisted with promotion, media relations and other minor details.

This year, I plan on picking up the ball where others have dropped it. This year, I have submitted an Event Proposal from Shadowbright Productions to handle the management of OK Electric 2011, naming myself as Event Manager and culling from the scene a few hand-picked persons to assist.

Wish me luck.

2011 marks 10 years of the Novachild project. To celebrate, I’ll be posting some rare/unreleased tracks from time to time. Some may even be remixes, but very likely I will allow time to be heard and avoid ‘fixing’ these old mixes as much as I can.
