Threes Too (Remastered)

A newly remastered version of the instrumental Threes Too is now available at CDBaby and ReverbNation.

The song was originally the final track on the album Life or Dessert?. The CD has gone out-of-print, and while downloads are always available, the general sound of the instrumental piece - while the best that could be done at the time - wasn't all that it could have been.

The remastered version takes a solid step forward toward improving the overall sound and balance of the track. You can hear it in the player on this page, and download it from our ReverbNation page.

More Gravity Tree music is on the way...

3 Million Plays

The 3 Million Mark: Big Number on a small scale... 

How unlikely it is, that this experimental, progressive noise

could hit the 3 Million mark on NumberOneMusic (or anywhere for that 

matter)...but it has happened nonetheless! 

Some time ago, Gravity Tree posted a number of odd and unusual

pieces on N1M. 

3,000,000 plays later, perhaps the lesson is that music lovers are

indeed looking for something different. 

You can check out Gravity Tree on NumberOneMusic at this link. 

Gravity Tree are truly grateful to all who helped make it to 3 Million. Even in the absence of a new album, the fanbase is growing in anticipation of the next giant noise bomb.

For the uninitiated, one can get Gravity Tree music (some might use the term "music" loosely; "noise" is also acceptable) all over the place: 

iTunes, Amazon, Bandcamp, CDBaby, you get the picture.

You can get free music, news and surprises, at NumberOneMusic or at the group's homebase on the interwebs.

Another crazy thing: The soundtrack/game music Alan (Gravity Tree's drummer/synthesist) has composed for many years, has suddenly become slightly popular. Without any warning, Alan's ReverbNation page made the Top 10 in its genre. There are hardly any fans listed there (so much for analytics!), but it happened anyway. 

So Alan's in the Top 10, and Gravity Tree hits 3 Million plays.

For those that made this happen: thanks for listening...3 Million times!

Any prog rock fans in the house?

What better way to say hello than to mix music genre slang. Except to say, hello and welcome to the OFFICIAL Gravity Tree blog. But wait, why does this blog exist? And who writes this thing?

The second question first: Some of you know me as GravityDrmmr. Other folks call me Alan. I participate in a music group (as there are all kinds of groups, I had to specify it as music in nature) called Gravity Tree. We play a fairly non-commercial blend of guitar-drenched noise many folks call progressive rock, or prog rock, if you will. Some call it art rock, avant-prog, or any number of other things but by now you've gotten the idea.

There are a number of reasons why we decided to come late to the blog party and start one of these things.
One was that I wanted a place to communicate to fans and interested bystanders without all the usual glitter, hype, pomp and what-have-you. So there aren't any flashing banners, pop-ups or swirling advertisements insisting that you buy our stuff or someone else's.

Another reason was that we didn't really have a stand-alone blog. There's a news page on our website, but the site's gotten fairly large and there are other more interesting pages to be found there. We have a blog on MySpace, but we're finding a number of fans just aren't on MySpace or just don't like it up there. This blog is for those folks.

I'll try to keep it up-to-date with any really critical band news. But mostly I'll probably ramble on about music, ours and others. We'll see where this goes.

For now, thanks for stopping by. Talk at you soon.
