News: Jan. 24th 2012

It's a new year. So they say. No, it will be a degraded copy of the previous year. Not new. Different. But the same.

But, yes, apparently the C.I.P. release (listed below) has recieved a review in the glossy artmusicnoisetechnojazzrockhop magazine "The Wire", to be specific, the February 2012/# 336 issue. Yes, a review of animalmineralselfmirror, with, yes, a photo of the artist on the review section page:Well, this could be that photo.

A positive review, thumbs up, that sort of thing.

Anyway, watch for this issue.

Please support Mr. Lunde's various labels of whom he would like to thank for their support and indulgence over the past couple of years:

Crippled Intellect Productions

Heart and Crossbone Records

Freak Animal Records

Psych-Kg

Cathartic Process (yes, the big box will come!)

News: November 21st,  2011

AH, yes, the new release on CIP is out:

animal mineral self mirror

limited amount of artist editions, but there are plenty of the affordable single CD available from here (TMW) or there. (CIP is holding the majority of the artist editions).

Here's what Mr. Edwards of Vertonen fame and CIP CEO sez:

I first heard Lunde’s work in perhaps 1991; I was a DJ at KUCR at the University of California, doing a program that danced between punk and experimental music. I had heard of Hands To, and when I saw the Hands To / Eric Lunde split in the new bin, I gave it a whirl. As others have rightfully said before, when Lunde’s voice comes in--"your unguarded breath" it was a moment of commanding, spine tingling confusion. His work reminds me of Z'EV's uns project in how he permutates language and utilizes his "reduplicative strategies" to simultaneously bury and uncover audio. This disc is, for these ears, "classic" Lunde; tape cassette manipulation, modulation, and endless reduplications and permutations. If you like Lunde, this will be a welcome chapter in his ongoing audio explorations. If you aren't familiar with Lunde, I'd say imagine audio that has spices of Chop Shop, EVP, and John Duncan mixed into a batter of barren lands and be prepared to go on a rather unusual, and unequivocally individual, journey.

there will be an Eric Lunde cassette only release through banned productions titled "Neither Lot Nor Sums"

And, yes, there is or will be a facebook account why I don't fucking know, but let's give it a try.

ANYWAY

I think the layout and ordering procedure is much more clearer, better organized at Big Cartel than what this site can provide (i.e.: lack of a shopping cart). Plus, yes, there is a corresponding drop in price on many items. if you purchased before and feel this is a little unfair, our apologies and maybe we can throw something your way to make you feel better....

But, anything and everything is negotiable so feel free to pitch me.

TECHNOT

THESE ARE TRACKS PUT TOGETHER IN THE YEARS 1995-1998 USING DIGITAL MIDI EQUIPMENT AND ANALOG CV GATE RELAYS. DON'T MEAN TO SCARE THE NOISE PURIST HERE, BUT NONE OF THESE TRACKS ARE DANCE ORIENTED POP, CERTAINLY NOT GAGA-LIKE IN THEIR DYNAMICS BUT SOMEWHAT AMBIENT IN SOME CASE, SOMEWHAT ABRASIVE IN OTHERS. WORTH A TEST DRIVE, ESPECIALLY FOR THE ONLY DRIVING RHYTHMIC HAMMER OF "WALK STRAIGHT WEST"
