OK, first off, we want to thank everybody for their patience and support. We realise that it has been a while since January 2013, when we released the debut single - moon handed, and we've had a tremendous amount of interest in that time, thanks to all our friends on Twitter, SoundCloud, Facebook, ReverbNation, MySpace (both old and new) and direct from our website - ontofield.com. Also special thanks go to our friends Carlos Vaz at progressiverockbr.com in Brazil, Jim Lawson at Cuillin FM, Shaun Geraghty at the Prog Mill - Radio Stafford, Will Mangold in the US on PRM Radio, Mike Klemmer at progulus.com, Greg Stafford at Prog Palace Radio and of course the lovely Louise Davies on Radio Seagull for their interest and support for Ontofield.
The big news this edition is the upcoming release of the debut album - sleeping with fractals. After the success of the single release of moon handed, there has been furious and frantic activity in the studio to finish the long awaited album. There is also a view from John Graham about what the last 6 months have been about and some insights into the content of the album.

the assemblage point shift - what does that mean?
Next order of business is, what does "the assemblage point shift" mean? Well, in this instance, it is a phrase used by Don Juan in the Carlos Castaneda book "The Art Of Dreaming". A kind of assembly and production point of energies gathered from our senses which helps us interpret and see the world in different ways; an energetic point, which makes us "perceive". The shift represents a different way of looking at this "show" and opening up a great deal of other stuff too. It all seemed like rather a good title for an Ontofield newsletter!
what's been happening?
"Since the release of moon handed on New Years Day of 2013, there has been a lot of "ups and downs". Mostly "ups" though. The pulling together of the remaining songs for the album has been a great opportunity to get together everything I wanted to say for the first album, finessing the sounds and lyrics, as well as the arrangements. This has all been going for about 3 years, so it has been a labour of love, as well as some frustration at the learning curve involved with doing absolutely everything yourself! (apart from the mastering - thank you Andy!)
It's been a crammed 2013; in the last 6 months we've had deaths, births, engagements, re-united family - you know, all the usual stuff! Anyway, Sleeping With Fractals is all here now, all wrapped up and my music is the best my music could be. It's "me on a plate" and from the bottom of my heart, so I hope you all like it!
One great thing about social media and music websites in general is that you get to hear some absolutely amazing music and make some great friends from all over the world. You get to wondering about where has all the decent music gone? Well, I know, it's out there on Soundcloud, MySpace, ReverbNation and all the rest. Thank you to all of you, John"
By John Graham
The album itself features various themes; from flirting with the past and buried memories, to exploring possibilities of where we came from and why we are here. What is "real" and the idea of "belief".
It also explores the lies and manipulation by various crypto-totalitarian terrorist corporations masquerading as "states" and "governments", through their owned mass media juggernaught and the effect it has on us, the "bewildered herd" and the human mind in general. Do we use this manipulation as an excuse or are we all waking up slowly?
And yes, there's also some stuff about sausages...
