Creel Pone @ 17 • Montez Press Radio.
In celebration of the 17th Anniversary the first Creel Pone replica making its way onto the Mimaroglu Music Sales (RIP) site, Jacob Gorchov & I once again celebrate the initiative’s lifespan across a two-hour program, in which we’ll talk shop around the general ideas at play; tune into Montez Press Radio at 8pm on April 26th to hear it all go down in real time.
(Update: this is now active in the Montez “Archives” - either click the “Add to Public Playlist” button for it to come ‘round again, or consider making a donation to Montez to access the show in real-time via their site!)
Feeling somewhat emboldened by this late-stage victory lap, I’ve been working on this year’s big Anniversary push, and I’m glad to report that many titles have already started (re) appearing on the Alpha State NYC site, including a quartet of new issues (including the completion of several years-in-the-works projects), further refreshes of those “Proto” P.C.P. titles, and new reeditions of several classic, early titles (each expanded to include an extra discsworth’ of material).
Everything (including not only Creel Pones, but the entirety of the KFW Hi-Res AUDIO tape-series, now including Bandcamp download codes/cards for everything) is currently on sale for 10% off in celebration, clear through the end of May, so have at it.
Sometimes I tend to overdo it (the Ecotank printer & robotic CD burner have both been running ceaselessly for a few weeks straight now & my entire office is littered with hundreds of those tiny plastic strips that are intended to protect the adhesive backings of the “Resealable Outer Sleeves” until removed) but it’s been great to while away these last few cold weeks of the year indoors until a fairly brisk (more news on all of that soon) music-performance schedule kicks in with the arrival of Spring (if it ever comes).
