First release from new project Redkap (split w/Bergstresser)

skincontact

I wasn’t necessarily planning on releasing anything from this project just yet, but Nicholus from Bergstresser/Completely Gone Recordings made the offer, and of course I couldn’t resist. Redkap is what I’ve decided on as a name for my recent doomy industrial metal meanderings. I have a bunch of stuff recorded, but it’s been sitting on the back burner for various reasons.

I’m really excited to be doing the first Redkap release with CGR, and doubly so to be doing it on a split with Bergstressor!

I had also rather quietly posted a track called “Bloom” to Soundcloud a while back, might as well post that here too:

New version of Beatslaughter’s remix of “Not Convinced”

Beatslaughter just posted an updated version of their “Not Convinced” remix from way back in 2009. Cool stuff!

Support Bandcamp United

Workers at Bandcamp are organizing to form a union, and management have hired a union-busting law firm to attempt to disrupt their efforts. Bandcamp United has put out a call for support from users.

From the Bandcamp United website:

As the workers who build Bandcamp, we believe we should have input into its direction, and we believe in supporting and protecting workers who speak up. When we use our voices, we do so because we care about the future of Bandcamp, and because we wish to see our colleagues, artists, and broader communities succeed. It is important to us that Bandcamp’s artist-first mission continues with clarity and accountability, with all resources afforded to us distributed in the fairest and most transparent way possible. We feel a responsibility to support those who are most marginalized, to use our platform with integrity, and to provide reasonable protections and accommodations for those at-risk.

First release from new project BBBG

skincontact

Over the course of 2022, I had some fun messing around with fractal music generators and other generative toys, and I’ve decided to release the results under a new project name. Some of these tracks were originally going to be part of a new Fugue State album, but I ended up getting really into it and soon had enough to fill an album. Since I could see myself doing more of this kind of thing in the future, I decided to call it something else as well, rather than having a bunch of oddball semi-themed releases under an existing project.

This album is available as a pay-what-you-want download from Bandcamp.

Benefit compilation for victims of the Club Q shooting

I lack the words to properly express my feelings here, but I’m humbled and honored to be part of this compilation from Produkt 42.

$20 (pay more if you want) for 20+ songs from across the underground music community to help raise awareness, and money for the victims, survivors and Club that is more than just a gay bar in Colorado Springs but, is a community and safe haven for the marginalized and outcast as well as the spectrum of the LBGTQ+ community.
