New Vinyls

My new Omnivores LP (Lost Treasures of the Underworld) and Burning Star Core's Papercuts Theater 2LP (No Quarter) (also available on CD) are both out now.

Copies of Omnivores can be obtained directly from myself for $15 ppd. USA, $20 international. Email/paypal: ms [at] gmby [dot] net

For Papercuts Theater, you are better off checking out the label directly or your favorite distributor. I am slated to get some copies (other than that one) soon, but I am not sure when or how many.

Appreciate the support as always, and I swear there is some more downloadable goodness right around the corner. Sorry for delays.

PS. Only 1/3 of the Omnivores records were pressed on clear vinyl. I will try to mail them out before the black copies, but no guarantees. There is also a ltd edition with handmade artwork by Columbus artist John Malta in the works if you want to hold out for really special copy.

Olive Music on Cycles

Great and unexpected birthday present (unbeknownst to them) from the blog Olive Music.

"What I was expecting was minimal laptop drone, maybe with some percussion or something thrown in. What I got was a full force psychedelic meltdown."

Read the rest here and add Olive Music to your RSS. It's been a while since I read reviews with their level of enthusiasm.

And, of course, Cycles can be acquired from 905 Tapes or myself.

Scenic Railroads Plays David Tudor

That would be the previously-mentioned event that has been taking up the bulk of my time. I am very eager to play the works of Cage & Cardew, something which even a year ago I probably would not have said or even imagined myself saying. I have gone from having almost no interest in performing graphic scores (despite enjoying the music culled from them more often than not) to being completely obsessed in the past few months. Mr. Joe Panzner & I have been really digging in for this one and it should be a great show.

Olewick on Stalemate

Mr. Brian Olewick has some kind things to say about the collab with Daniel Menche. A very nice write-up, though inside sources report that even nicer things were said behind closed doors.

Sorry for infrequent posts lately. February has been pretty much entirely devoted to preparing for an upcoming performance, but there will be more stuff soon. A free full-length collaboration and another ES Mixtape are both in the queue.
