11xEleven album out now
Alb from Wilful Missing has released his album......go and get it NOW!
He says......
"To celebrate the micro-occasion of 11:11:11 11/11/11 on 11th November 2011 I have produced an album of eleven 11-second tunes.   The total length of the album is just 2 minutes and 1 second, meaning the whole thing would probably take less time to listen to than it's taking you to read about it.  Is this the shortest album ever released?  Hopefully.

I've been planning this album for ages (some may say too long), and I'm really excited to have finally been able to release it.  There are a variety of musical references to the number 11 in these tunes.  Some are obvious, some are less so, but it would probably spoil it a bit if I spelt them all out.  The album is available to download now from music.ouralbert.net/album/11xeleven.  Included with the album download are 11 of my photos, and a short 11-chapter story by Sally Cooper.

Videos have also been made to accompany each of the 11 tunes.  I'm grateful to the friends who gave their time to help put these together.   I'm amazed by what has been created.  All 11 videos can be seen in this Vimeo album or this Youtube playlist.

So, that's it then.  After all those months of waiting, the moment itself was over in, well... a second.  I hope you enjoy listening to the music as much as I enjoyed making it.

Next up for me is the release of the new Wilful Missing album, Molehills out of Mountains.  That's been in the making even longer than 11xEleven, and it will be out very...very soon.
"

Can't wait!
