Yesterday we lost a great friend, collaborator, and amazing drummer. Mike Cinquini will be missed dearly. He always made us smile and he was instrumental in making Gunpoint Recording what it is and has been.

233, or 11101001 is an irregular prime, a full reptend prime, a cousin prime, a Chen prime, and a sexy prime. It is an Eisenstein prime of the form 3n ? 1 with no imaginary part. Since 233 × 2 + 1 = 467, another prime, 233 is a Sophie Germain prime. 233 is also a prime triplet (with 227 and 229).

It is a Fibonacci number, being the sum of 89 and 144. Being an odd-indexed Fibonacci number, it is also a Markov number, appearing in solutions to the Markov Diophantine equation: (1, 89, 233), (89, 233, 610), (233, 610, 426389), …

In base 10 there is no integer that added up to its own digits yields 233, hence 233 is a self number. In base 3, the sum of 233’s digits is composite; no smaller prime has this property.

I’m finally putting the finishing touches on the Antioch Secret Society album.  After many arrangments, band members, old band members, ideas, the second Antioch Secret Society album is nearing completion.  All we have left is some re-do vocals and touchups,  and just some minor tweaks on the mix.  We’re going to master the album in control room Q using a combination of analog and digital mastering gear.  The album will be released on vinyl and digital download via Xohol Records.

The 11 song album was completly produced at Gunpoing Studios.   Head tracking duties were taken up by Bob, most of the post and mixing was done by Q.  We’re expecting to get everthing wrapped up by july.  Updates to follow so you can get the full album!

You can hear progress by listening to the track ‘Infrared’ on the bands myspace page.
