CD-Rs: a reality

thanks to fan input (yeah I do listen to you) I'm working on releasing a limited CD-R run of the following:

  • Music for Tapes, a compilation of all three noise tapes—yes, including the as-yet-unreleased final installment Music for Battery
  • Antimonument

due to demand these will be available very soon. both are going to be very limited (depending on demand, really) so when I finally get around to fixing my PayPal store act fast.

update one: inserts have been printed. they look badass except I didn't measure quite right and I have to trim them a lot. that's what I get for being hasty.

update two: I now have some CDs and cases; I'll have them packaged up by the end of the week.

update three: masters have been burned. it sounds great even with my crappy earbuds (I'll need to listen on good stereo later).

update four: attempts to spray a test disc with engine enamel spray paint went okay. probably Saturday I'll whip up a batch of decorated discs, as tomorrow I'll be spending the day in Pittsburgh.

Ve3tro Interview

Hey, it's me again. Yeah, I'm still here. Been super busy with school, work, and looking for a job post-graduation. That's all going splendidly but unfortunately leaves little time for music. Rest assured that I'm still cranking out song ideas when I have time. While you wait, I thought I'd post the interview I conducted with the media webzine Ve3tro (it seems they now only do video games), originally published in late January 2009, just after Cleanse came out. Ve3tro: What is the main purpose of your music? Do you have any particular message or meaning that you try to make your work embellish? Deterior: The main purpose of all the music I do is to entertain myself. I started writing music because it sounded fun and it was something I had always been interested in doing and was willing to learn. I spent several years churning out utter crap. It took me two years to write and record World , and even then I wasn't satisfied with what I had made (which isn'

CD-Rs: an idea

so I had this crazy thought today... I've heard several people express interest in getting physical copies of Deterior stuff. of course pressing CDs is way out of my budget (I almost literally have no money at the moment), so I was thinking about a simple on-demand CD-R system. so if you wanted a CD of an album or whatever, I'd whip one up and send it your way. probably something cheap like $5, same as the tapes. if this sounds cool, leave a comment! I'm lonely.
