Welcome back everyone.

This week, we'll begin with the latest episode from Barry Seroff's excellent series of acoustic guitar instrumentals recorded while he awaited the birth of his son. 3/21/09 abandons the Bailey-vibe for a late-period John Fahey style, that works quite nicely. It demonstrates a sense of growing tension.

Circumstance Drove Him to Another Circumstance is the latest work from El Plan De Aguavodka, a miniature centered around a blast of radio insanity. It's got John's typically brilliant touch.

Also this week we see the fourth installment of the Painful Leg Injuries' Subharmonic New Homeowner Blues series, a collection of improvised works from a homemade Sub/Infrasonic softsynth.

Enjoy, until next week.

Welcome back again folks.

This week we have new podcasts, starting with the latest from El Plan De Aguavodka, called Living Beyond Your Means Dying Within Extremes. John's treated a telemarketer's message with heavy layer synth background. It sounds like prank call from the bad guy in that old Commodore 64 game Impossible Mission. Arrrrrrr!

Barry Seroff latest is from a series he recorded while his son Jackson was being born. 3/17/09 is a tense piece that tells us what kind of St. Patrick's Day Barry had.

The Painful Leg Injuries' latest podcast series is Subharmonic New Homeowner Blues and this one is scarily exactly the same time as the previous podcast. Weird. Enjoy.

Until next week, be well. Don't forget to get your copy of the new BIOS album, click here to order it from CD Baby.

Big announcement today, everyone, the debut of BIOS is finally available. It's called Retiring to Palermo to Make Apple Whine and it's one of OKSRNA's finest releases to date (if I do so say myself).

BIOS is an electro-acoustic improvising trio featuring yours truly Bill Byrne of the Painful Leg Injuries, and the Harmful Free Radicals, John Ibarra of El Plan De Aguavodka and Marco Oppedisano. We recorded this back in 2007, the tracks are long improvisations two come from our rehearsal sessions in Queens, NY, and one track is our live debut from 2/17/07, at the Monkey NYC.

Also included with the CD is a DVD of the above-mentioned Monkey NYC performance. To order your copy from CD Baby click here.

In other news, Barry Seroff's begun a new podcast series this week with Jackson Songs. These tracks were recorded during the period of time Barry's wife was in the hospital giving birth to their son Jackson back in March. These tracks are lovely Derek Bailey-esque solo acoustic guitar improvisations that show Barry's excellent ability to restrain his performance, and his mastery of the guitar, I'm sure you will enjoy.

The latest podcast from El Plan De Aguavodka is an epic called DataOnlyDietCanSurvive. If you think John's out to make you nauseous, he is. Finally the latest subharmonic synth improvisation from The Painful Leg Injuries is available, the unsurprisingly titled SNHB2.

Until next week.

This week the Painful Leg Injuries begin a new podcast series called Subharmonic New Homeowner Blues. For our 31st podcast series, I've recorded six improvisations with on subharmonic soft synth I've designed using MaxMSP. For those who may be unfamiliar subharmonics are frequencies that mirror a base frequency moving downwards. Now for my instrument I started from the base frequency of 240 Hz moving down to near the edge of human threshold. The piece is called SNHB1.

The latest from El Plan De Aguavodka is a field recording with the Peter Gabriel track "In Your Eyes" removed Eye Theif. People should do that more often. Finally Barry Seroff's supergroup Screwtape concludes their series with the second part of A Coup in Two Parts called Act II.

Until next week, take care.
