February plans…

  By glacial23 | 2/2/2012 - 2:12 am | Catalog, General, New Stuff, Performances 1 Comment

Well, I guess it’s now February, so it’s time for the RPM Challenge(my 5th). My plan isn’t so much to do an album as much as it is to do the second half of a double album. I’m going to finish the x0xb0x double CD (title: Acetic) that’s been in progress for a bit. Disc one is a compilation of various tracks I’ve done since building the x0xb0x, and disc two will be a selection of all-new tracks. The official release date will be March 3rd, but I figure on having tracks (and maybe digital downloads?) completed by the 29th so that I can have some discs burned by the 3rd. CD edition will be in a custom case in an edition of 25 or 30. I may start trickling out tracks for streaming on Bandcamp over the course of the month, so keep your eye out there or on the twitter feed.

Somewhere in the middle of all this recording, I think I’m going to try to submit something for this, and I have three shows planned for this month- February 9th and 24th at bela dubby, and a return to the Grog Shop on the 15th with The Hexadecimals. New material for the double CD will be getting played at these shows.

Going to be busy for the next four weeks!

GLAC-27: Béton Translucide- Chalet/Vortex E.P.

The “synthpop” EP I’ve been hinting about is done. You can check it out on Bandcamp. It’s officially released on Friday, January 13th (in an edition of 13, no less). You can get a copy either at the Stare With Your Ears event on Friday or via Bandcamp once I see how many are left.

As mentioned in the paragraph above, my first show of 2012 is happening Friday at bela dubby. Should get going around 9pm. I’m even hearing a rumour that it’ll be webcast for those out of town or unwilling to leave their homes.

More special projects in the works, but I’ll talk about those later…

g23/9VHH- Live on PTB August 19 2009

An extra special treat for folks-

I finally dug into my vaults and found the episode of Press The Button featuring 9 Volt Haunted House from August 2009, cleaned it up a tiny bit, and put it up on the internets for your downloading pleasure.

You can grab the files here: GLAC-13.

Looking for demos and having a Garage Sale

Still working on this synthpop-ish C20, but once it’s done, I’d like to put out a couple of short run split C30s (maybe 25 copies each at most) early next year. Anyone down to put out 15 minutes of “danceable” electronic music? If you’re interested, send an email with a link to a demo to glacialcommunications@gmail.com or hit up my SoundCloud dropbox. If we like what we hear, we’ll let you know. I’m pretty sure I know who one of the acts is going to be already (it’s a new project that hasn’t recorded or released anything yet).

Those two short run splits are going to be followed by another, bigger pro-duped split C20 or C30. More details on that closer to release-time.

Also, I seem to have a bit of extraneous gear that I’m not using, so in order to clear some of it out, I present The First Periodic Glacial Communications Garage Sale. Here’s the first round of deals:

  • Alesis MMT-8 MIDI Sequencer. Includes manual. $30SOLD
  • Boss DR-202 Drum Machine/Sequencer. I think I have a printed manual somewhere. $60
  • Kawai R-50 Drum Machine- just got it as part of a package deal and don’t really need it. No manual. $25
  • Danelectro Distortion pedal-never used, still in the box. $10
  • Danelectro Metal Distortion pedal-never used, still in the box. $10
  • Alesis Metavox Vocoder. Includes manual. $50
  • JVC belt-drive turntable. Sometimes plays a little weird. $20
  • (Sears?) belt-drive turntable. I never really used it. $20

Nothing includes a power adapter. If you really want me to provide one, I probably can for extra money.
All prices are pretty negotiable, and interesting trades will be considered. I’d prefer Cleveland-area pickups/meetups at shows, but if you want something shipped, we’ll work out some sort of arrangement.
