i'm steev. the first two original warmth recordings were with branden diven of quilts/knife city/etc. maybe i will record with other cool people in the future? right now it's just me.
for people that are curious to know. all recordings were created with some or all of the following:
bass
dulcimer
harp
ebow/bow
natural tape loop/delay
reverb unit
tone generators/oscillators
air organ
organ
field recordings
various electronics
Influences
distant airplanes flying by. the sound of the generator at the elementary school behind my house at night. my fiance's breathing while she sleeps.
If you don't mind, I'm gonna promote the two new release coming out in about a week. If you do mind, delete it. :o)
So, SRA is now taking preorders on two new releases that should be coming out during the first week of August... I proudly present:
DANIEL CLOUGH - A TRIP TO THE MOUNTAIN SHARK (SRA004)
Abrasive, strange, dynamic grey noise with what sounds like subtle field recordings stumbling their way through, somehow creating the illusion of melody. Created using a casio, a mic, and a load of tapes and a tape deck + the good ol' Reverb & Delay. Sample up here: http://www. naszczepanik. com/sra/A_Trip_To_The_Mountain_Shark. html (One of the quieter tracks on the record.) Limited to 50 copies.
MACHINEFABRIEK - VLOED (SRA011)
Can't even begin to emphasize how happy I am to be able to work with Rutger aka Machinefabriek. Quite a talented guy, with releases on labels as diverse as Lampse., Digitalis, and Kning Disk, this album is a compilation of 3 live sets (the shortest running in at 16 minutes long). Take a listen to the sample available here: http://www. naszczepanik. com/sra/Vloed. html Limited to 200 copies.
Both releases are professionally printed CD-Rs and insert / tray card, and packaged in a shrink-wrapped jewel case. Prices are $8.50 each + shipping. There's now an online store using paypal buttons, so just head to the site if you're interested in ordering:
