It is with no small amount of sadness that we inform you of the news that Shark's Teeth Soup has decided he no longer will be a full time member of Origami Cat Plan. He is leaving the band to concentrate on producing solo works, although there are still quite a few tracks in various stages of production that he has happily agreed to finish over the next few months, and he also has said he would like to return every now and then in a "guest appearance" position. As half of the songwriting team for the band, he will surely be missed. But, we are still all quite good friends and we wish him the best success with whatever creative projects he pursues! He has said that he would like to write something, and that message from him follows this announcement. Farewell and good luck, Shark's Teeth Soup. Thank you for everything you've done for us.
Message from Shark's Teeth Soup to the fans of Origami Cat Plan:
"First of all, I would like to say thank you to everyone who has listened to the tracks I have helped produce with Origami Cat Plan! I sincerely hope you've enjoyed them! Secondly, I would like to say that my leaving the band has been in discussion for a couple months now and there are no hard feelings or any 'bad blood' between me and the other members. Sometimes when you have a bunch of creative people together in the same room, one of them needs to leave to find out what's outside, not just for himself, but for the other people around him too. For the time being, I have done all I can do with my part in Origami Cat Plan - anything else right now would be redundant and all of the members of the band would certainly grow tired of what would be produced, and, consequently, the people listening to the songs wouldn't enjoy them much either. Whether we think so or not at the time, change usually brings about wonderful things, and now is the time for that to happen. And, as the Maestro has pointed out in the preface to this message, I will be coming back for the occasional guest appearance when we all think the time is right! In many, many ways, I am sad to leave my friends but I think it is what's best - for myself and the band. The future is now wide open for all of us to explore - here's to making the most of it! Thank you all, once again!
Peace, Love, and Ecstatic Groove to everyone, everywhere!
STS"
With Shark's Teeth Soup's departure we expect our sound to change in many different ways (hopefully ways you enjoy!!) as we move into what is now the 3rd phase of Origami Cat Plan. We will keep you updated with what is going on and have new tracks for you soon!! Peace and Love!!!
