- - UPCOMING RELEASES, ETC - -

 > CD .  35 Mutant Seconds: based on Rafael Toral´s Creamy Burst.  [ 
Grain of Sound, Portugal ] features reworks using a Toral guitar piece 
from 1991 as source material. My piece was selected from a series of 3 
improvisations. the piece is dedicated to the Tsunami victims. other 
artists include: Pita, Fonica, Sawako, John Kannenberg, Stapletape and 
Allto. WINTER 2005. http://www.grainofsound.com

 > CD . Retrieval  [ ERS, The Netherlands ]. This will be two works that 
were created at my artist residency at the Music Research Centre @ York 
University, UK. based on soundfiles and loops of mine from 1990-1993.  
plus an extended reworking of "Retrieval 3" + 2 additional retrieval 
pieces. WINTER 2005. http://radiantslab.com/ers

 > 2CD .  Re'post'post-fabricated  [ DSP Recordings, Italy ] This 2CD 
project will have the reformed/remastered Post-Fabricated CD 
(originally issued on CDR on Dutch label Microwave in 1999 as an 
edition of 222). I was never happy with the sound quality of the final 
master due to the engineer and my analog recording limitations at the 
time. I recently uncovered the original sound file elements backups and 
have reconstructed it in its full digital vitality. This is an odd 
recording for me, which you could say is my most "pop" release in its 
quirky rhythmic elements. The second CD will be comprised of 
remixes/reworkings from the original files by Frank Bretschneider, COH, 
Taylor Deupree, Freiband, Goem, Alva Noto, Byetone, Sogar, SND, Asmus 
Tietchens, Vend, Matmos, Steve Roden, and myself. I have received all 
of the remixes and they are wonderful and fun....
