hey i was wondering since there are so many people(musicians) on this list and most of us have some sort of demo recording, we should set something up where we can all trade our demos via snail mail or the internet (remember the old 80s tape trade days...?). It can be stuff of our own or maybe have collected via other trades. Just make a copy of this disc or tape and keep circulation. Just make sure its not something you can get in stores or any that would cause the original artist to loose money, just demos and Do-it-Yourself recordings. Heres what I have to offer: Broken Key- Advent...Turtables from Hell info: my post techno project, loopy and distorted. Sorta like a twisted sci-fi movie mp3 samples: http://www.mp3.com/broken_keys Kwaidan- A night at Blackwell's island info: my mental illness noise project, this was my first release for this project mp3 samples: http://www.mp3.com/kwaiden Kwaidan/Abandoned Child- Bondage Children split cdr info: a collaboration between me and Brian H. of the noise industrial band recant. Very sexy, very dark. Kwaidan- Summoning of Souls info: the latest recordings that is nothing like the first two. Very much influence by Japanese noise music like Merzbow, Mike Patton, the Boredoms. etc. Probably the best demo since the track I had released on the Embedded comp. from Detterent INdustries. Harm - Obouro Singultus info: dark loopy apolaclypse type stuff. a buddy of mine did this project in his first attempt at industrial music. Its pretty strange stuff. A bit of acoustic guitar is evening in there. A lot speeches from Churchill, Manson, and Crowley too. The Sound Tribe- Cadavre Sonata Info: I did this experimental music score for a documentary on the death penalty for my high school Amnesty chapter. really twisted work with tribal percussion and lo-fi soundscapes. here's also a few reviews on some of those recordings: Broken Key Advent " An all-too brief (6 tracks in 18+ minutes) selection of self-termed 'experimental techno' from Hello Shadow Media kingpin Kris Day. And it's some really excellent stuff, much in the same realm as early DOWNLOAD or SPEEDY J, with perhaps a twist of Detroit techno thrown in. 'Advent' is packed with corrosive noisescapes and heavy-duty rhythm/breakbeat patterns that twist and turn with a feverish intensity, while shards of film dialogue filter in around the edges. These awesome and potent tracks definitely warrant some attention from those of you needing more venom in your electronic music. 'Nosebleeding Clowns' would even garner some attention in the clubs. Solid, solid work here and I definitely am looking forwards to hearing more from BROKEN KEY. Bravo! " -Godsend Online Harm Obouro Singultus " This project of the oh-so charmingly-named Assface Pissneck (of Iowa metallists CANNIBAL HORSE and--don't laugh--SATAN'S ALMIGHTY PENIS) shows an interest in the classic, old-school industrial sound. There's your typical 'found' TV voices, clanging, banging, air-raid sirens, loops, moans, challenging frequencies, Charlie Manson recordings, and dirge rhythms assimilated and collaged over one another. Packed with lo-fi audio detritus, 'Obouro Singultus' seems to be a sort of recorded sketchbook, as some tracks abruptly cut off. It's like a maniacal funhouse of creepy sounds and abrasive-yet-playful experiments. " -Godsend Online The Sound Tribe Cadaver Sonata " Roughly 70 minutes of ambient, lo-fi post-industrial musings from a versatile Iowa artist. This work was originally meant as a score for a documentary on the death penalty, so you know it's not gonna be cheery stuff. Indeed, this little audio hallucination is full of grindings, tribal recordings, and improvised bits of 'found' audio flotsam. These are bedroom noise-scapes that take me back to my days doing very similar stuff. And although 'Cadaver Sonata' isn't unique or necessary listening, it is a quiet, minimalistic, and oddly random bit of old-school analogue playfulness. " -Godsend Online Hope you guys dig my idea. I have a bunch of other demos at my web site- http://www.helloshadow.tk take it easy kris
