a couple new stellar collections of mp3s downloadable from our

MADE-NOT-FOUND "marchworks" slapmp3_027 (28:22)

Using a Kimball electric organ and a few effects devices, these pieces 
were recorded by Peter Rinko (guitarist of the band Enemy Love 
<http://www.enemylove.com> sometime in the bleak winter landscape of 
upstate New York, where that season can be particularly harsh. But in 
March, there are days when you can sense the impending spring for an 
hour or two. It is for those fitting moments of clarity that this music 
is made. Somewhere in the depths of noise, the dark of cold night... a 
melody begins and soon you are humming its tune all the way down to the 
thawing river.

DJ SHEILD "Pirate Radio Broadcasts Vol. 1" slapmp3_028 (55:05)

While this music hasn't been aired on pirated waves quite yet, the radio 
format would probably be most suitable for the nature of these 
recordings. Starting out with just three portable disc-mans and a Radio 
Shack mixer I began layering music in hopes of enhancing the source 
material or, at the very least, surprising the listener. Since having 
graduated from those humble tools to the sophistication of a computer 
the mixes are becoming more prepared and thought through but hopefully 
no less exploratory. While the methods I use to choose and prepare the 
music are Dadaist in nature, the outcomes are undeniably surreal: 
seemingly unrelated events float through a kinetic library of 
references. A celebration of music by means of artistic presentation- DJ 
in the purest sense of the title.
