july, 2010 :: summer 2010 releases are go ...



clockwise from top left:: the root strata "generators" c52, the "live generators (1)" c38/c34 box c/o protracted view, the split lp with mike shiflet for amethyst sunset, the collaborative split c60 / poster with hrvatski & the beniffer editions boys, & the "variations for oud" single on no ... these can all be purchased where the physical evidence of a love of music, manifest in hard work & good design sense / follow-through / execution are found ... undoubtedly they can also be acquired where the need to improve some wayward fanpire's seed/leech ratio is palpable (although to even begin to champion such a preposterous scenario / system is out of the question) ... otherwise, mms is your best bet ...

may, 2010 :: some nice concerts lined up for the spring (details to your right) including a collaborative set with my personal hero felix kubin, then one opening for maurizio (i.e. 1/2 of the basic channel production team) 's new trio in brooklyn ... then over the summer there will be a set by geoff & i opening for caboladies & sam goldberg's radio people project in jamaica plain, then one for lucas abela's face-smash project justice yeldham & the dynamic ribbon device & dan greenwood's diagram a in easthampton (at the new flywheel space - i hear they have a killer p.a.) - what can i say ; i hate to headline ...

there will probably be other things in between over the summer (geoff mullen and i are working on sorting out an appearance at dan "oneohtrix point never" lopatin's monthly upstairs cdr night at coco66 in greenpoint ; maybe july ?), then in the fall i'll be playing at the neon marshmallow fest in chicago, the hopscotch festival in raleigh-durham, then the high zero festival in baltimore ... plus i hear that ben vida, greg davis, and i will be picking up a bunch of dates in early september as tortoise's opening act ; that should be something ...

i had begun planning a more extensive tour of the u.s. to coincide with the september festival appearances, but it's going to be something of a bottleneck what with mms running full-steam (if you haven't checked in a while ; i recommend you do so - we've been kicking ass over there) ; that said - i will be driving out to chicago from the 17th to the 19th of of august, then back on the 23rd to the 25th - get in touch if you want to schedule a stopover in any city that makes sense (ditto goes for the 6th through 8th of september between boston & raleigh-durham, the 11th through 13th on the way back ; then the 22nd & 27th between here & baltimore) ...
