ORCA // GRAVITATIONAL SINGULARITY

Over two full years since it's inception, the ORCA remix album Gravitational Singularity is finally available. Dwyer Records will be handling a special edition release that will include both Collapse & Decay and Gravitational Singularity together as a duel cassette release in a limited edition. Following that I will have a small edition of Gravitational Singularity available in special packaging. But you can get it right now as a PWYC download from bandcamp. ANY money made will go straight towards the Dwyer Records/Astral Ra editions. Physical editions planned for February/March 2012. As a further incentive if you pay for a download and want a copy of the cassette, I will subtract whatever amount you pay from the cost of a copy once it's out. This will work as a pre-order of sorts and help me raise the money needed to produce them. Please note this will only apply to the Astral Ra release and not to the dual limited edition version from Dwyer.

About the album: Artists were given complete freedom to work with the tracks however they wanted with the only guide being that it retain some thematic similarity to the original music. Contributions for this album come from Kevin Gan Yuen (Sutekh Hexen, Fermentæ, Viraloptic), Pau Torres (Etude Records, Lngtché, Gates), Aidan Baker (Nadja), Warren Bray (Grand Analog, ORCA), Piège (Nick Storring), John Kameel Farah and Gardenia.

The source album Collapse & Decay consists of three tracks, two long songs and a shorter interlude. The songs presented here are completely new pieces using the tracks of those as foundational pieces. Some of the remixes are based on a single song while others use parts from two or more, weaving separate tracks into a consistent whole.

I've listened to this album many times over and it plays out as something entirely new and almost seamless and consistent track by track. Thank you to everyone who contributed their time and effort in creating this. I'm honored to be able to present a collection of music from some of my favorite fellow musicians. If you enjoy this album please take some time to explore the links below and delve into each artists personal work, musical and otherwise.

Cover art is from a piece by Artie Wosko (HRSLVR, ORCA)

MOTHS HAVE EATEN THE CORE // IVORY ANTLER edition

Second edition of this album available now via Ivory Antler Records. The artwork has been reworked by Kevin Gan Yuen, now a stunning deep violet rendition (in contrast to the original red) with more textural detail and definition along with brand new disc art. I feel that the art of this version is much closer to the colours and textures I sense and have felt with this music. Every show Gates has played in the past year, we've performed the songs from Moths Have Eaten the Core which allowed me to delve even deeper into the original creations and that is now book ended, in ways, with this reissue of the album.

Many thanks to all who have supported this album and the band for the past year and hopefully this will find it's way to many of you and some new ears.

Through the howling infinite....
