2025 (r/l/D #22)

hey friends. i hope the weight of the oligarchy and tech bro nazis and the attempted erasure & destruction of our trans & immigrant friends/family hasn’t destroyed your souls just yet. fight back any way you can- any positive motion is a motion forward.

I just self- released a collection of sounds I made last night, dead creek. From the notes: on 1/24/2025 i trekked out into the dark of night in 8 degree weather (-13.3 degree Celsius) to record at Dead Creek in Panton VT. the ice was making sounds that scared the shit out of me. i found some old, charred wood and a stone to sound my washboard. skipped some stones onto the ice until the sound and the weight of the stars (and my dead-cold fingers) made me jump back into the car and speed off. at home i edited, cut-copied-pasted, and made this short album.

Also in 2025, My BandCamp Netlabel, Flux ov Time, is transitioning to an every-other-month release schedule, starting with Repository of Irritated Sounds by nd dentico. Nick is the boss over at Histamine Tapes, a truly creative musician & a great friend & supporter.
