Possible Nursemix For Sun And Moon Ensemble
(2006)


1 Possible Nursemix For Sun And Moon Ensemble (13:11)
Edition in slimline jewel case first made available at the Nurse With Wound concerts on June 15 & 16, 2006 in San Francisco.
This is NOT a limited edition of 40 copies. Note from Matt Waldron (the artist who made this CD):

What it is --- the disc contained a 13 minute soundtrack for the Sun and Moon Ensemble, a large-scale puppet troupe that opened the second night in San Francisco. I put the soundtrack together using various released and unreleased Nurse tracks (the "possible" in the title was there because I wanted to get Steve's approval on the mix, but needed to send something to the Ensemble so they could start formulating ideas).

Why it was there --- Steve and Colin were both very happy with the results of the mix, so I decided to print up some copies to put up for sale as a show souvenir. This also seemed a good way of earning a little extra cash to cover the time I had to miss from work in order to prepare for the shows. My idea was to sell them for $5 each, but I was discouraged from doing this by the suggestion that a handful of people would buy all of the copies and then put them up on eBay for $100 the next day. $15 seemed a reasonable compromise. The eBay scenario turned out to be true regardless.

The Surveillance Lounge (2009)

In 2007 NWW were invited, by the Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau Foundation via In Famous, to perform a live soundtrack at La Cite de la Musique in Paris to the 1922 Murnau film, "Der brennende Acker". The new sounds that were generated and musical parts recorded for the film became rudimentary building blocks for "The Surveillance Lounge".

Nurse With Wound never fail to surprise and just when you maybe thought you could second guess how this might sound, they completely shift the direction. In contrast to the last release "Huffin' Rag Blues", this release focuses on the darker side of Nurse With Wound. Whilst keeping a fresh contemporary feel, it nods towards some of the older, more sinister material. Current 93's David Tibet is featured on the disc along with the mainstays of Steven Stapleton and Andrew Liles.
