My Own Invention reviewed in this weeks Tacoma Weekly (Hard Copy and Web): Pick up a hard copy from just about anywhere in town!

“With an album title drawn from quantum physics, and musical influences from groups like Pink Floyd and Talking Heads, My Own Invention is indeed an intellectual outfit. The Tacoma-based band is a musical collaboration between John Walker and Chad Hagedorn of GreySlade Music, a home recording and media studio. For this project they are joined by a host of other musicians. The result is an album that is quite unique and innovative …”

“The Measurement Problem is an immersive and seductive album. Style and instrumentation vary but there is always a strong sense of passion and character in the vocals… Creative production touches and strong material make this a compelling record.”

Chris Hanzsek of Hanzsek A/V & C/Z Records

Hi everyone! The time has come – The Measurement Problem by My Own Invention is finally complete and is now available to all … FREE! Simply click here to download the album with printable cover art that fits any standard CD jewel case. And if you don’t already have these programs installed on your computer, you’ll also need to download and install Adobe Reader to view and print the CD art assets and Winrar to unpack the MP3s – both programs are free.

But if you’re the type that just has to have a factory-produced hard copy, we are offering those too. For just 10 bucks, you can have the CD sent to your door. We are selling T-shirts featuring the album cover for just 10 bucks as well. But for only 15 bucks , you get the CD, the shirt, a MOI button, and a MOI sticker! And the best part is that ALL proceeds will go to the Tacoma/Pierce County Humane Society! If you do buy any MOI merch, your name will also go on the donators list when we submit the money at the end of the year.

But the good times don’t end there. We are also having a contest (no purchase necessary to enter). The CD artwork contains graphic elements, which represents all the songs on the album, the album title, and the band name. The first 3 people who can properly match the elements to the corresponding name (or the best 3 entries) will get additional free stuff! Winners will receive a T-shirt, mouse pad, and a CD. Some will be easy to match up – others not so easy. For success, one simply needs to carefully listen to the album. Use of ‘the’ Google and ‘the’ Yahoo are certainly permitted as well. Good luck and happy listening/searching.

John and I had a great time making this unique (Sci-Fi Folk) record and we hope you have fun listening to it. If a song doesn’t do it for you, hang tight, the next one might have more appeal – there is a lot of variety on this album. There’s little surprises around every corner, but nothing dangerous. –Willy Wonka Thanks for everyone’s support – we’ll be in touch very soon with more surprises and updates! –moi

Please note: ‘The Measurement Problem’ has many cross fades throughout the album. The nature of MP3s generally do not allow one to listen to cross fades without noticeable gaps. Therefore, we have also included an additional MP3 which contains the entire album as it was meant to be heard. It’s your choice how you would like to listen to ‘The Measurement Problem.’
