2011 was a reasonably productive year for me, I released the Jazz-electric album with 'Achromus' in March and my 10th solo album Lyra in November. I also created 50 or so videos to accompany tracks from my previous albums, as well as a number of other work-in-progress projects.
As regards 2012, I plan to release at least two albums, one collaborative and one solo.
The collaboration I'm keeping under wraps for the time being as I've barely started working on it and the solo one could go a number of ways at present. I've spent 4 months on creating work-in-progress material, some of it quite diverse.
On a personal level, I wish people all the best in these times of great change and uncertainty.
Cheers, Pete Kelly (Igneous Flame).

I've been creating a lot of videos recently and uploading them to my Youtube channel. Unfortunately, Youtube doesn't really show them as I intended, so here's the original video for 'Vitreous Flow' (audio edit) from my 2007 album 'Hydra'.

'Jazz-electric'
'Jazz-electric' by Formbank & Achromus, now released (February 2011). 'Jazz-electric' is a side-project of Pete Kelly (Igneous Flame / Formbank) and Michael Stringer (Achromus). We are keeping it 'separate' from LuminaSounds, as such and is a download only release.
Press Release
'A fusion of hybrid-electronica with occasional ambient lull. Hints of Japan, Sylvian/Sakamoto and Peter Gabriel pervade throughout. Pete Kelly's (Formbank) real and fake guitar parts combine with Michael Stringer's (Achromus) melodic sensibilities to make for an intriguing, occasionaly oblique listen.'
'LuminaSounds' (formerly Chillfactor10 records) has been set up by Achromus and Igneous Flame as a self-release venture for their forthcoming material, both solo and collaborative.
