517 Virginia Ave. #2
Harrisonburg, VA 22802 USA
'
Humanity Won't Be Happy...' cdr, Jan. '08.....Recorded live at our 2nd show, at the local Anarchist Free Space/Infoshop. There was no audience becos people left or joined in the
din. We only had 3 mic's so we only used 3 channels on the 4track. Later, we discovered ghosts in the 4th channel and left them in. The Infoshop closed the next day, but not becos of us.
'War Party' cdr, May '08.........Not warlike at all. Temporarily squatting a house way out in the county, bummin' water off the neighbors, wandering around the woods, collecting bones, recording everytime anybody came out. Wordless vocals, strings and drums, musical playing cards.
'The Transcendental Outhouse' cdr, July '08......Live performances overlaid with studio noodling. This is a tribute of sorts to Angus MacLise so there's samples of his music and voice all over it. (Saddhu, saddhu, saddhu....)
'sha ri va ri' cdr, Sept. '08.......Live performances/studio overdumps. During the time this was coming together, several people moved away, some people stopped participating and then our long-suffering 4track shuffled off this mortal coil, forcing us to borrow one to finish recording and do the mixing. Our approach to recording and our sound had to change.........................
'Pagan Futility Ritual' cdr, Dec '08..........The simplest ideas can be really hard to turn into reality. This one took months of planning and only a few hours of doing. The dreaded drum drone - one looooooooooooooooong track of shamanic drumming, echoed, distorted and generally altered on an obsolete desktop. Designed to facilitate spirit travel.
