What a day it was! A few bats emerged to fill the expedited spring twilight to eagerly dive-bomb unsuspecting insects that must be confused by the unanticipated elements. Adept at moves usually offered by barn swallows during late summer evenings as they dart about just above the field full of uncut hay seemingly tied to the tail of a kite. A bullfrog even spoke upâ€¦perhaps hoping to find some early romance or maybe even warn the other virile croakers in the area that this is his year. Let it be our year.

New album entitled Oldowan out now…

Wed, 19 Mar 2014 20:43:38 +0000

My newest release, oldowan, has been released on Functional Equivalent Recordings. You can buy a limited edition cassette (48 of them made), which is an imprinted cassette within a black muscletone custom case and comes inside of a drawstring burlap bag.

Tate Eskew explores minimalist guitar drone in two 11 minute pieces with the release of “oldowan”. Exploration of regenerative ecology and indigenous culture inspired the two compositions. Instances of calm reflectiveness are slowly interrupted by passages of anxiety and moments of contentment.

My new album, Semiotics, released today…

This has been a long time coming, but as of today my new album Semiotics comes out today on Function Equivalent Recordings. I’ve spent an immeasurable amount of time on this recording. It has been recorded in my home studio over the past few years as I have moved around. At times, I had no studio and I wasn’t able to work on the album at all. Other times, I was so full of ideas I couldn’t get them down quick enough. This is the object of that process.

My new ambient/noise EP entitled Modality released today…

Tue, 02 Aug 2011 14:04:22 +0000

Today my new ambient/noise EP entitled Modality is available to the public. I’ve been writing, improvising and recording this type of music for years, yet this is my first release to the public. I have always done this type of stuff for myself as a release from my normal songwriting and I felt like it was time to let a few songs go. It’s full of resonating drones, noise guitar and quiet patience.
