I'm surprised that today marks the one-year anniversary of Workbench Recordings, but indeed it does. When I started it, the label churned out a new track every Tuesday, and that pace held until late April. Thirty weeks, thirty tracks, and thirty sleep-deprived Tuesday mornings later I capitulated and Workbench became a monthly rather than weekly concern.
But now the tide's turning back: I hope to post more frequent releases in year two. Not necessarily on a Tuesday schedule.
"Beachball" was posted to the Free Music Archive on August 10, 2010. It was to be the first in a series of unscheduled, at-will releases called "B-Sides," which would live on a different set of pages here at the Workbench site. But I didn't have the time to put the new pages together before the track was finished, so I decided to post at FMA first, and planned to put the pages together on the Workbench site a few days later.
Those few days turned into the rest of the month. And as they did the "B-Sides" plan lost steam, replaced with the simpler idea to change the normal posting schedule. So "Beachball" is getting a normal full-page release today and a standard catalog number, and it's follow-up, "Dunebuggy," will be posted as soon as it's back from the mastering studio. More soon.
