hello. just a little note to say that i'm leaving for tour soon. a week from today in fact. i still have a couple of dates that I need filled. If you would be so kind as to help, it would be awesome!

My friend Andrew Marino and I have been working on a new project the past couple of months. It's a book of both of our photography, packaged with a cd of music that we've made together. I think the thing looks really great. We've put it out on our new record label, Full Spectrum. It would mean a lot to us if you went and checked it out, and pick it up if you're interested. We've got some new releases coming on the label, so please check out what those are too. You can find us at: www.fullspectrumrecords.com

i got a little write up here: http://www.indyweek.com/gyrobase/Content?oid=oid%3A272230

i now have some kind of web presence outside of myspace.

i made a website: www.andrewweathers.com

check it out.

andrew marino and myself have just put out a net-release with TimeTheory NetLabel!

it's called 'staying young' and it has two tracks, totaling about an hour.

the first track was recorded at the Velvet Lounge in Washington D.C. in March, when we were there for the spring tour.

the second track, yuri, is a piece that we performed at SignalFest in Chapel Hill in April, and recorded a few days later in Greensboro with Reed Benjamin.

you can get it here

you can also check out the other releases that TimeTheory has put out here

I just put up a short section from a live set, recorded at the Luna Bean in Wilson, NC on March 28, 2008. Gray Young and Spruce Bringsteen also played the show, and Afraid of The Bear Records recorded it.

For this performance, I processed saxophonist Austin Glover's improvisation. Austin is a composer and amazing musician that I'm fortunate enough to go to school with. Hopefully we'll be collaborating more in the future.

It's very different from what I've done in the past, but I hope you enjoy it anyway.

The tour CD-R i had for the past tour does not have a track list included. Here it i:

1. In Silver - Live On WRIR - January 2, 2008
2. Shark’s Constant Motion - From Pepto Record’s Compilation ’!’
3. In Gold - From my upcoming album, ’anchors’
4. Untitled (with Andrew Marino) - Live in Knoxville, TN - November 17, 2007
5. On Land, By Foot No. 1 (with Andrew Marino) - Live in Knoxville, TN - November 17, 2007

January 2nd, 2008 - Richmond, VA - WRIR 97.3 - Noise Solution Radio
This is going to be me on Kenny Yates' (Caustic Castle, HzCollective) radio show. I'm not sure what exactly it's going to be. I'll probably play some songs, talk a little, and listen to more songs. Pacific Before Tiger on the radio is a first, and I'm really looking forward to doing this.
11PM - 97.3 FM in the RVA area - www.wrir.org everywhere else.

January 4th, 2008 - Philadelphia, PA - Eris Temple
This is with Radio Eris, and another local. These are folks I played with at the Eyedrum in Atlanta, with no one there. Radio Eris is interesting stuff. The closest I can compare it to is Patty Smith, in that the lyrics are all spoken word poetry. The music is really psychedelic stuff, and I don't even use that word. (www.myspace.com/radioeris)

January 5th, 2008 - Brooklyn, NY - Tommy's Tavern
( ) is glitchy, very digital ambient. Very minimal, a lot of open space, and a lot of tiny tiny sounds.  (www.parenthesismusic.com)
Ian Epps is more structured ambient. A little melodic, and there is a definite pulse to the music. (www.ianepps.com)
Darsombra is a guy named Brian, who I played a show with at Nightlight earlier in the year. He blew me away. One man brutal drone. I am really excited that he is playing tonight. (www.darsombra.com)

January 6th, 2008 - Manhattan, NY - Piano's (Upstairs)
Darsombra is also playing this show. So is, Ala Muerte. Ala Muerte is the solo project of Bianca, who also plays with Destructo Swarmbots. Ala Muerte is quite different. She plays with vocals a lot, to a very haunting effect. Etheral experimental, at times folky. (www.myspace.com/alamuerta)

January 7th, 2008 - Baltimore, MD - Joe Squared
This is with a band called Jump Cuts, who I actually haven't listened to, but I was told they are dancy and fun. Also playing are Broken Connection (www.myspace.com/brokenconnectionband). Broken Connection is a collaboration between Wilmington, DE's Ben Fleury-Steiner and three members of Philadelphia's Northern Valentine. It's improvisational ambient with guitars, keys and violin. The recordings that are on the myspace sound really great, I wish you would check them out, even if you're not coming to the shows. This will also be the first time I've played in a pizza place.

So that's it. If you can make it to any of these shows, please do. If you can't, please tell your friends who can. I will appreciate it more than you'll ever know.
