Plasmabat releases third effort

Plasmabat and Hugh Caley are synonymous. The one is the other. The name, chosen by Hugh, represents his strong interest in both science and symbols. However, perhaps his stronger interest is in his love for music.
This is abundantly demonstrated in the release of his third Plasmabat CD, Twilight Music. This is a captivating album of ethereal, intimate instrumental rock music, full of shimmering guitars and keyboards and melodic fretless bass. It is an album you can put on in the evening and become innocent for a while.
This is the first fully instrumental Plasmabat album, and it was deliberately made that way to avoid even a hint of cynicism, perhaps as an antidote to the times. The remarkable phenomenon is that Hugh Caley played all the instruments on the recording.
Hugh grew up in rural Michigan and, not having many people to perform with, he learned to play several different instruments and experimented with recording them separately to create his unique sound. In his junior year of high school, he joined the only band in town playing bass, as that was the only open position, performing covers of '70s rock and roll. He graduated to bar bands and toured the eastern United States playing whatever music was fashionable at the time.
In 1994 he co-founded the Detroit shoegazer band "Loomer" but the band broke up in a move from Detroit to San Francisco. With new territory in which to work, the second Plasmabat album, Compost, was released in 2003.
And now, just released Twilight Music is the third Plasmabat album, available on CD or digital download, and is the prettiest and moodiest of all his releases. The album reflects both the peace and innocence of his rural upbringing and the high tech shine of his adopted northern California. These recordings/compositions have a distinctive sound and beauty that is unique due to his solo home recording experience. The music has an innocence and melancholy that would be difficult to sustain in a group setting.
As far as where he would like to go with his music, Hugh believes that "there is a whole world of rhythm and harmony that could be approached with "innocent" ears, taking little for granted"
