Good morning everyone and welcome back.Our first label compilation, Men In White Coats, has shipped from the home base to CD Baby, and we'll post an update when it's available for sale. Men In White Coats is collection 45 all new one minute sound art science experiments with 15 tracks by El Plan De Aguavodka, The Painful Leg Injuries and The Unevenness of the Moon's Surface.
Thanks to everyone who listened and commented on my last podcast series, Return to the Four Chambers. This week we begin the 12th Painful Leg Injuries Podcast Series, Chickens Scratching.
This series will be compositions made from handwritten waveforms. Having suffered through 12 years of catholic education, it was particularly painful to have "sloppy" handwriting. I have been told by a teacher that my handwriting was so unreadable, that I should be a doctor or improve my penmanship. Well, I never did. Now using audio software I have made a series of podcasts where I have handwritten, in cursive, the waveforms that the music is made from. The first of this six part series is The Quick. The Quick is a series of my handwritten waveforms, each a fraction of a second, panning left and right and constantly pitch shifting. I dare you listen to this loudly on a pair of headphones. Dedicated the lousy catholic educators around the world and especially in Monmouth and Ocean county New Jersey. You know who you are.
El Plan De Aguavodka's latest is a slightly twisted peaceful nature ballad. At it's heart it's folk song that's slowly falling apart into an otherworldly ambience. Very awesome.
Until next week, take care.
