160 copies sold out

Stasis Duo are Matt Earle and Adam Sussmann

3 tracks
recorded between 2003 and 2009

the sleeves for this release are made from handmade paper. four different papers were used -which means that your copy might not look exactly like the one above. it will be pretty close though

also, a small technical note:
computer playback is not adviced (unless you have a $1000 soundcard of course). ideally played back through a regular stereo system.

out now are three new cd-r editions:

patrick farmer – Apis mellifera, moved to and fro
enviromental recordings & treatments from this very active musician, recordist & co-curator of the compost & height blog and label

stasis duo 3
latest release from this seminal australian ‘sinecore’ outfit. comes in a plain sleeve made of handmade paper. don’t miss out on this one

syndromes / kostis kilymis – just another daily bummer
overloaded waves of mixing-board hiss & subtle feedback. very limited bare-bones edition that we should ideally be releasing on tape. if we had access to a tape deck or duplicator that is…

just the right sounds to keep your mind excited through the idle afternoons of the impending summer or, in the case of the syndromes disc, to blast through your car speakers as you’re moving through nerve-shattering traffic in any city you like to call home (it’s been road-tested and proven effective).
