Greetings everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend and regained a spiritual, mental and physical balance for the week ahead! It’s been a busy few weeks with new releases on Multitude Music and a few new projects nearing completion.
New Releases:

Fellow Multitude musician and Imaginarium DJ, Morne V a.k.a. Trypsinogen has a brand new release, “Show me who you are” featuring the vocals of the talented Romy-Ann. The release includes remixes by myself, Minaise Effect and Vaughan Phillips a.k.a. Syntrax. You can purchase “Show me who you are” right now from most major online stores.

The Comedown Machine
My second release on Multitude Music and first artist album, “The Comedown Machine”. This diverse album features various genres and musical styles associated with electronic music. Deep progressive trance tracks like “The Comedown 2009”, “Journey Machine” and a collaboration with the talented Michelle Freeman in “Neon Rising” to the unusual and hard hitting “CX3” and the uplifting “Deus ex Machina”. I like to think of this album as an aural exploration of the various musical styles that have inspired my work over the years.
“The Comedown Machine” will be available on the 30th of October 2009 in most major online stores. You can listen to a preview of the 11 track release on my SoundCloud page by visiting this URL: http://soundcloud.com/hugh_campbell/the-co...machine-preview. There you will also find the complete track list. Downloadable album artwork is also available in the “Downloads” section on my website: http://www.tamusic.co.nr .
Until next time, take care and have a great week!

Habitual Noise Is No More
Posted by Trance_authority, Aug 19 2009, 09:57 AM
Hugh Campbell a.k.a Trance Authority & Habitual Noise. Many would agree that this is quite a mouthful for a musician or band name. I have been working under these aliases for close to 10 years and now; it is finally time to end this chapter.
Being a solo act, the use of an alias was a great way to create music and minimise the effect of occasional scathing reviews and differentiate between individual music styles, adding a unique identity or persona to the work, all in the spirit of experimentation.
I have done a lot of work under the Habitual Noise alias, much of it unpublished and unheard but vital to my growth and development as an artist. Throughout this experimentation, I eventually borrowed elements from this alias and fused them with my other material; hence, eliminating the purpose of the Habitual Noise alias altogether.
So it’s official (well, as official as these things can get) Habitual Noise is no more, let go, fired, sacked, given the boot and unceremoniously dumped into the historical archives. Online profiles have been deleted and musician names edited.
Epitaph for Habitual Noise
HN was a pretty cool guy - eh didn’t afraid of anything
HN never won the Internets but tried to at least 9000 times
Hard drugs, hookers and street violence epitomised HN
He will not be missed
May he burn in the fiery depths of hell – hoorah!
A commemorative set of HN tracks will be made available on my website.
Eve R1 And Multitude Music
Posted by Trance_authority, Sep 17 2008, 04:19 PM
It's been a busy few months since my last blog post (April 19, 2008). I have signed up with Multitude music - an independent record label in South Africa. My material will soon be made available on major online distribution websites like iTunes, beatport, Juno and others.
I'll be working closely with fellow Trance producer/composer and multitude manager, Vaughan Phillips in this exciting endeavor so, you can expect me to up my game considerably in the next few weeks and months.
Two months of hard work, late nights and countless cups of coffee and arguing with an inanimate PC have resulted in the creation of my brand new track, Eve R1.
The track has been on my myspace profile for a week now and some people have asked me what the track title is all about. So here's the story...
A bunch of really smart Korean Robotics guys created a robot inthe form of an attractive woman (known as an Actroid) and called her "EveR-1" - she's pretty awesome and creepy at the same time and i felt she'd make a good track!
My obsession with machines doesn't stop there though, work is underway for more industrial oriented music - look out for it!
That's all for now from me - don't forget to subscribe to my blog to get all the updates as they happen!
Take Care, Hugh
Monolith - Mangled Electronic Chaos
Posted by Trance_authority, Jun 25 2008, 01:25 PM
from http://www.tamusic.co.nr
Thundering kick drums, bizarre glitchy-ness and the return of my creepy electronic vocals! Monolith is my new track falling somewhere in the great messy genre pool of IDM, Industrial, Electro and even tribal (who needs genre's anyway?)
Churning out new tracks is becoming a little hard these days with studies, running my own business and this damn straight jacket that chafes. But lots of work is underway for more projects! One of them being a collaboration track with my mate, Michelle Freeman - a highly talented pianist (she's hot! - *drool*) 
Remixes, hell, I never seem to stop doing those but sometimes they yield their rewards. I recently entered the Emendy remix competition (Emendy is a music college and store stocking equipment for music and post production). I won the competition and received my prize this week - tutorial DVDs on Audio mastering. So now, hopefully, I can brush up on those skills and your ears will stop bleeding!
That's it for now, Hope you all had a great weekend!
cheers,
Hugh
Site And Music Updates

Updates...
http://www.tamusic.co.nr
You may have noticed a few changes on the site, but just in case you haven't, I thought I'd tell you a little more about what's new!
Indie Spotlight - This part of my website is designed to showcase other musicians or people involved in the global music industry. These people (like myself) usually work for themselves and are unsupported by major labels or companies. So, check them out and show your support! I am sure they appreciate it!
http://www.loadtheshow.com - From the horse's mouth: "Loadtheshow is a South African company aimed at promoting the global music industry. We believe that music should be shared, listened to, and enjoyed by everybody. We also believe that piracy and the effects of the MP-free generation are crippling an already financially-strained industry. We love to see artists getting the exposure they deserve through the platform of the internet. We hate to see them getting exploited and not earning a cent for their efforts."

Posted by Trance_authority, Aug 17 2007, 10:00 PM in Album realease
Hi Everyone!
I hope you all had a great long weekend (if you're in South Africa August is Woman's month!) and hopefully the mundane parts of the week aren't getting you down 
So.. It's been yet another hectic month musically. new tracks, a website and album plans in the pipeline. My latest tracks, Chrysalis MK2 and Hypodermic (under my Habitual Noise Alias) are now available from my website for free download at http://tamusic.110mb.com
Work is underway for another track called "Watching the sky fall" it's a hard, anthemic creation and will be available within the next few weeks.
As I mentioned earlier, I have a new website; http://tamusic.110mb.com It's still a draft version of the final product until i get my domain (I'm broke, jeez, bare with me haha)
As some of you may know, i have released 3 albums digitally and am now working on my 4th under my Habitual Noise alias (the 1st for HN!) it's called "what they want you to hear" and features several Chaotic, nasty, mechanical abominations (so hot...). it will be released later this year 
Lastly, just a quick shout-out to any Independent musicians interested in a collab or remixes - hit me up!
Take care and have a great week!
Hugh
