Make Holidays
(Chocolate Monk) CDR $7.00 (Out-of-stock)
COMING IN NOVEMBER. Fresh off a two-year stint in Iceland and a two-week holiday through Austria and Germany, Buffers is back with four servings of summer-encrusted collage. German supermarkets, Icelandic harbors, and heatstroke radler abound, topped off with a needle-stuck art song loop. A fond farewell to another blistering summer. Edition of 50
Rural Trash
(Chocolate Monk - choc.581) CDR $8.00
This sound diarist and crafty composer’s assemblage of scraps and bits were recorded in Pennsyltucky, London, Reykjavik and elsewhere. Far from a shuffling Xerox of sound blame, a most “meaty” yet “crispy” audio document takes you from a poor stand-up comedy show to waterfall-adjacent whistling in Gufufoss, not to mention looped Britten head scratch and log book scribble. If that doesn’t float your fancy, how about an entire track assembled and featuring English avant sound old head Rod Summers? Migrate the bingo hall and bring your soup bowl. Edition of 60
