giraffe letter | try to look positive
hi friends!
I hope you are all right!
today I woke up with the thought that we should try to find positive in everything!
I don't know about you, but I often forget about it - although this is the only correct way!
Georgian Post again increased tariffs for all international shipments!
And I was forced to raise shipping rates by an average of $ 1.
I really do not like the fact that in some countries the delivery costs more than a cassette cost - but unfortunately for most countries we have no other options.
But there is also a positive - I have agreed with one local company on cooperation - they will deliver 'giraffe tapes' parcels to United States. Now it will be faster (maximum 2 weeks) and with tracking (for the same price as before) - today I sent the first 8 parcels with their help.
I do not lose hope that in the near future someone will compete with the Georgian Post - and a cheaper option for small parcels will be available.
I know that in Europe all carriers have also raised the price - but still the national mails of most of the EU countries are a little cheaper than here...
sorry for all these details. But I perceive the letters here as a conversation with a friend - probably partly for this I created it.
After I have shared some of the details, I have the strength to act further in spite of all the negative accounting. next couple of releases in production.
I also plan to make sets - they will contain 3 cassettes of the latest releases, postcards and maybe something else. the shipping cost for such a set will be the same as for one cassette - so it will be less painful
now about music =)
I'm glad to open pre-order for GRFTPS014 today.

a wonderful and humble musician who sent the first demos over a year ago.
I immediately fell in love with this music - in which the Japanese mentality and philosophy are very much felt.
And this debut on a physical medium - the first cassettes for kei - it will be great if you want to support it
(I always remember my debut on HushHush records - how I sat on the bandcamp page all day and refreshed the page in the hope that someone ordered a cassette with my music =).
we have now:
video for "their" here - https://youtu.be/VfUN-euIC-U
I continue to dig in the 'trash can" with films - this time I took a half-amateur movie about a tornado shot on 16mm film as a basis.
