Thanks for looking.
New music and video to be.
2019 will sound as good as we wish the headlines were.
Before spring warms New Jersey.
And before the Republicans finally fall.

Cloud People's Evan Wilder has been active expanding Pine Barrens field recordings in both series Hit Record and Long Shits. Hear and see them below.
Hit Record 2016 field recordings:
8 • April Evening Bay Sounds
9 • At Evan's Bridge With KD
10 • All Hallow's Eve At Carranza Memorial
11 • December Swamp Stream
12 • Late Autumn Snow Falling On Dead Leaves
Work continues on a New Jersey Statewide Tour which "has been sporadically underway due to financial and tragic interruption".
Progress can be seen here: From The Past To You .
A CD is left to be found or not, somewhere in New Jersey.
Also in 2016, we had the release of A Thousand Blended Notes, which is only to be played again in spring.
Signals have been received. A change in course has been detected. Will Messier Object deliver a new recording?
Your world is in peril. I have changed course and a response is immanent.

Quiet and still, like frozen swamps.
Cloud People arrive at Cloud 9, the end in their series The Clouds. With remix assistance from Jason Carr, Yung Coyote, Ambient Fabric, At Work, and Messier Object, Cloud People end with an album's worth of the best remixes backtracking through the years while adding a few new ones.
Jason Carr's remix of "The Oaks" pulls us even further into the wilds, with almost 8 minutes of bewildering excursion ever crossing over into stranger stretches of forest, with only the beat guiding us home.
In 2008, Ambient Fabric and Cloud People exchanged efforts on "Mountains Of Dub". Ambient Fabric composed new parts, and Cloud People adapted them to a few new versions of the track: one of which appears here as "Ambient Fabric & Cloud People Freehand Cloud Climb". Ambient Fabric is from Norway, where, unlike the New Jersey Pine Barrens, there are real mountains.
At Work deconstructed and reconstructed "Shamong"—a previously unreleased Cloud People track that goes back to summer 2001. Evan Wilder recalls hearing from his high school history teacher that the name Shamong, a town in the pines, is of Lene-Lenape origin and best translates to "the land of the devil". If this claim can be verified or disproven, please comment below, because we've tried looking into it and didn't find anything.
Although departed from earth more than 6 months ago, Messier Object left behind a soon-to-expire application of self-simulation, which aptly reprocessed "Winter Starlight", adapting it to an epic space synth theme driven by extraterrestrial technology. Perfect for high-speed travel and M25 orbital journeys.
Pine Barrens native Yung Coyote produced a mega-mix, stretching the idea of a remix to new boundaries; comprising of "Last Of The Leaves", "Drums Of Autumn", and "Beyond The Call Of The Wild" to various degrees of recognizability, with many new original and shifting terrains and field recordings inter-spliced throughout.
Though this retrospective update marks the end of The Clouds and foreseeable recordings of new Cloud People material, there are a few other video and field recording projects to look forward to, following Evan Wilder and his exploration and adventures in the Pine Barrens.
