UPDATES
[ SUMMER 2010 ]
The Summer is upon us and “the times, they are a changin’.” First and foremost, I’m relocating to Olympia, WA come autumn. There will be a few last shows in Seattle, including July 15th at the Rendezvous with Dave Anderson & James Nielsen, as well as July 23rd with Michaud Savage & Costi Parvulescu (honored to be sharing the stage with Milwaukee luminary Peter J. Woods).
The latter show will feature a debut performance of The Covalence of Vines, to be released on the upcoming cassette Thee Forrest of Psalms (featuring collaborative contributions from the aforementioned Savage, Parvulescu, as well as New Red Sun cohort Jackie An). Tentatively, the last New Red Sun show will be 7/1/10 at 619 Western Ave. I’m more than proud to be producing & releasing the debut album from Jackie An aka Circadies.
Last but not least, the previously released Sleep’s Keeper ov thee Sea is going to be remastered by Pete Swanson & pressed to CD in support of a brief fall tour with stops in Los Angeles, Oakland, Arcata, Eugene & either Portland or Olympia.

[ WINTER 2010 ]
A handful of limited-edition-one-time-only-signed-in-blood-hand-numbered releases are upcoming in the not too distant future. I may self-release one or two of these but hoping to have others printing & distributing on my behalf. Forthcoming releases include...
...the long-awaited Apocraphonia on France's Tavarn Keben, sounds from the eminence of eskaton, featuring a guest appearance from the now defunct Dr. Jones... Ecovitus, a CDr of field-recording driven dronology... Moribund Tree Records will be putting out Totemic Invocation, a ritual doom cassette "versus" ex-Dr. Jones front-man James Nielsen... Electric Tapes will be releasing Scientists vs. Animals (aka Big Scientists vs. Paintings for Animals) A Vibratory Cosmology, a cassette of pure, smuv feedback dronetone... the original 41 CDr release of Sleep's Keeper ov thee Sea are long gone, so the recording will be remastered & printed to CD-proper, a first for me... plus New Red Sun's The Book of Sand & Moss CDr on Albuquerque, NM's Featherspines... and later our recently recorded Jeremy Harris Spoke of Summoning the Deep Magic...
Looking like 2010 will be a busy year with releases & shows set up for the first half of the year, including Cumulus Music Festival, the first Olympia Noise Fest, the Olympia Experimental Music Festival & The Stone in New York. Not to mention the Seattle Occultural Music Festival is well on it's way to being settled, both venues & dates set, May 12th through 15th (4 days/5 shows). Most of the performers are also confirmed, so contact me if you want to be involved, there is a space or two left.
