Found this abomination the other night while walking to my PO Box. I hope it’s a sign of more things to come. I’m really impressed that this trend has persisted for as long as it has. It’s been a year and a half since I first noticed these, and though they tend to be fewer and farther between these days, I do still find a new one every so often.
Cheers, purveyors of Destroy.
But don’t tell anyone.
Got a little air time last night on a local internet radio program, Gunpowder Suite. I have since been kicking back and awaiting the legions of adoring fans that this is sure to garner me.
In all seriousness, it was a great show – even if it does spend a little too much time promoting careless dissidence for the sake of careless dissidence.
I need to figure out how to operate this sewing machine I inherited from my last apartment.
Hot off the presses:
New release from Bicephalic Records:
BC006 – Chefkirk / Somnaphon : Tender Pink Movements
http://www.bicephalic.net/bc006.html
Two great tastes that taste great together: A cassette split featuring Roger Smith (Chefkirk, _whALe_pLAtE_, Insects with Tits, Control Valve netlabel) and August Traeger (Somnaphon, Nipple Stools, Food World, Bicephalic Records). For this release, Chefkirk creates a sparse minimal glitch cut-up piece of sound and Somnaphon manipulates midi data to create a smeared electro-atmosphere. Great for a nice walk in the park or for a bad walk in the street… whatever you’re into.
Chefkirk is Roger H Smith is no-input mixing board is location recordings is microcassette is sampler is cpu is controlvalve.net
Recorded 2010-2011 @ HOMESomnaphon is August Traeger + hardware & software manipulation.
Upcoming releases:
The next two releases will be split c20 tapes focusing on North Carolina noise artists & abstractionists:
bc007 – Food World / Clang Quartet
bc008 – Yohimbe / Caucasians
And just between you and I: I am super stoked for a Clang Quartet split.
Saw this on my walk to the bus stop this morning. Made me smile. I thought it meant today was going to be a good day.
What John Ingram should be doing right now: Sleeping.
What John Ingram is doing right now: Drinking wine and listening to noise.
Lesson John Ingram will have learned from this: None.
I am happy to report that the Doomsday compilation project is setting itself up to be a pretty big success. I just received an email submission from the seventh artist, with over a month left until the deadline.
Admittedly, I am a little relieved by this. I’m still gun-shy after the utter failure of the Universal Logic project, so this makes me a little less trepidatious about the idea of hosting more of these projects. And it also means that the people who have already submitted, have not done so in vain – these tracks will see the light of day.
Believe it.
