qualchan ~ pools of light tape available!

two things happened over the weekend... yr boy turned 33, & my latest album, pools of light // pools of shadow came out on magical garage taste, a lovely cassette label out of quebec run by a dreamboat of a human being. i hate being that guy, but i guess if yr into robert turman, dj screw, william basinski, croiners or the dreamdate with boyd rice tape comp / tape loop fuckery, then this would be right up yr alley. chopped&screwed tape loops of exotica, minimal synth, soundtrack, jpop, etc. edition of 35, grab one while ya can!

ps spent most of 2k15 on this, so glad this labor of love will be getting into yr hands!

pps talking about labors of love, my main squeeze old flash strap just put out a beautiful, amazing & mind warping book of his collage work. just pleased as punch that this cat is my friend & of course in perpetual awe at his talents. help a brother out here

purchase my tape

ages upon ages upon you.

i'm feeling nostalgic for old seattle, so i'm sharing this. comp from a few years ago compiled by a local space featuring some heady blissers & shredders from around these parts. perfect for this time of the year.

heart of stillness.

just when you think you know ennio. saloon girls is up there in favorite morricone songs. fun & upbeat to combat that seattle fall weather. see ya in the clouds.

in lieu of the moon.

really really lovely private press pastorale psyche twee from 1969. from the dudes who did this & this. they made this as a soundtrack so a coupla songs are a little silly out of context, but worth the price of admission for the first two alone.

Gloomy-sounding instruments

Hello amigos. To honour this year's Dia de Los Muertos, I rise from the dead to re-share this gorgeous compilation of death-themed Mexican folk music straight from the Mexican Anthropology Museum archives.

Unfortunately my plans of ripping vinyl have been indefinably postponed. I'll try to post more often, tho.

bonus:

Don't know about you guys, but I can't think of Dia de los muertos without recalling this great game. The remake and the HQ soundtrack are both available on Vapor.
