UPDATES GALORE COMING YOUR WAY NOW!

What you may have missed.
We have updated the news section and will continue to do so weekly.

You will notice a few more banners in our links section for Technoir , The Azoic , Mind.In.A.Box , Cyber Angels and IRIS.

We have recently had a remix of "Reverie" done by Mind.In.A.Box and you can hear a sample version here. We will be releasing that along with remixes of other Silent Auction songs by various artists in the near future.

You may have noticed the word PART 1 after H on Earth in the previous post.

H on Earth will be released in two parts, separate from each other. The original concept of this album was to create a story in sound between Heaven & Hell, light & dark, electronic pop & heavy EBM sequencing. Each song represents a product of the whole while allowing the tracks to still speak on their own, creating a frenzy of two minds (Jason & Terri) colliding. Our decision to release Part I and Part II separately comes from realizing the true nature of H on Earth and that it has taken on a life of its own. Silent Auction has come a long way from where we were 3 years ago in sound, influence, and quality songwriting and we continue to develop. We want to enable you, our listener, to understand where we have been to understand and embrace where we are going. Part I will allow you to hear more clearly the two minds of Silent Auction working independently towards the original concept of the album, while Part II will showcase these two minds coming together note-for-note, voice-to-voice towards the common goal. This is what has become so exciting for us in the studio - we can almost visualize our brains working together as we progress into a unified, unique edgy electro sound. We are a team that works beyond the rules of any game. Get ready for H on Earth - Part I. We will be posting the release date immediately after we make the move to our new studio.

IRIS - Mind.In.A.Box - CYBER ANGELS - THE AZOIC and TECHNOIR have each been incredibly helpful to us in so many ways. We are so thankful for their talent, ideas, and friendship.

Thanks for reading.

Silent Auction is moving to a brand new studio space!

After years of searching and planning, we have finally found a space in the northern end of Rochester, NY to set up our new studio. Our future plan of building a full & professional in-home recording and mixing studio is still in the works, but until we purchase a place to call "home" where such a space can be custom built, this new space is just what the doctor ordered. It will be semi-permanent, meaning everything we are building for this new space will be able to be moved in the future (except for the brick walls, of course).

This new space for Silent Auction will host everything we need to function as electronic musicians just as we have had in the past, but with added space, sound buffering/absorbtion, practice area, and the ever important urban loft appeal! Construction of our new studio is almost complete, and we're itching to get in, set up, and get rolling. Granted, this move comes at a very incovenient time for us since we're so close to the finish line for H on Earth - Part I, it needs to be done, and needs to be done NOW. Our new space is purely a sound studio - and we're excited to have a space seperate from the distractions of a living space. We will post pictures of the progress, from construction to finished & furnished studio as this adventure continues

Trip to Baltimore.

2 weeks ago Terri and Jason went to baltimore. A friend of ours suggested a club called"Club Orpheus"To our surprise, the club was much cooler than either one of us had expected. Within minutes we both felt at home. Everyone was so nice , and down to earth just like our club here " Vertex ". They were more than kind enough to allow us to smother there club with our posters and our fliers and even spun "Close your eyes "and announce us to the rest of the club goers. We both wanted to thank first our friend "Flummy" for the great suggestion, and also thank the patrons and the staff of " Club Orpheus " . We arrived on they're weekly friday night event named "Ascension". We highly suggest anyone who will be traveling to the Baltimore M.D. area and needs a great get away from the travel visit " Club Orpheus "or for that matter if your looking for an excuse to travel to Baltimore M.D. go there on a friday and indulge in they're friday night event "Ascension"Also since we were so impressed by everyone there . we have been inspired to make a spot on our site to help cross-promote some of the cool places we visit and the few bands we collaborate with in our spare time. You can be sure to wee flyers of events these clubs and or bands are engaged in simply by clicking on the spotlight button below.

Updates to the

web.I'm happy to announce that I'm finally done tinkering with our website. Due to many e-mails stating that the website was to big for most browsers, I have rebuilt, restructured and resized the entire site.It is now ready foremost standard screen resolutions"best fit 1024 by 768 but works well with 1280 by 1024 and above". Now that this is done you can expect to see the photo gallery, the news page, the links page and the events page grow. Please be patient with us on the photographs as we have many to filter through and I have to catch up on a few things related to the album first. Thanks very much for all of your support! And please visit us regularly.Sincerely: Jason B09/03/2006: 2 and 3 year anniversary3 years ago today ( Labor day 2003) we happily introduced Terri as the female vocalist you've all grown to know and love almost as much as we do! Since her debut with us at the Vertex Labor day performance in 2003, Terri has become a permanent fixture in the overall spectrum of what Silent Auction has become. She has been, ever since 2003, an official partner and we have had nothing but pure fun... listening to her music and watching her grow in vocals and composition. ALSO 2 years ago, also at a Vertex Labor day performance 2004,we THANKFULLY got bum rushed by some guy in forest green khaki shorts and a long ponytail (and a smoking wife) who had excitedly offered to do a remix of one of our older tracks,"Close your eyes", that he had heard for the first time that evening.We now refer to this guy (with a smoking wife) as Mike Dailor, friend, companion, cook, partner, another permanent fixture, and owner of "AngstLABRecords"
