BenenC - Imagine That

Some six-year-old introspection. 

Dynamo Stairs - Reverse Screen, and other newness

There's a new Dynamo Stairs CD sending out waves to world. It is a collection of tracks from across the many years that the project has been going. The project predates David's work with Choke and continues to this day with a wide range of styles exploring the edges of pop.  I've been enjoying it a lot. You might as well. Here's a video taste
 

In other news, there is a new aboombong shaping up. It is a companion piece to atrophic and a bit of a departure for aboombong. I need to put together an album cover and cross some sonic T's, but watch for it on bandcamp soon. Also out soon will be the new Dustdevil & Crow, accidental music. Michael has a couple of teaser tracks up on his soundcloud: Big Wind & Broken Head Boy.

I'll be sure to keep you posted on Joe's activities as they progress.

Up next, more Swayback. Stay tuned for more ambient-experimental tracks from the minidisc archives, which seem to be deeper than I was expecting. Coming to Pen & Mallet - I'll be giving you Flac as appropriate.

Dream Smith (R.I.P.) - each kiss with a soft blanket

Presented here today are two Soft Blanket songs recorded by Cadabeso during that too brief collaboration.
