Oh wow, I haven't been on IHM for a long time, so I missed this. Thanks, Michael. I'm glad that you are enjoying and fearing it! I'm very happy with the sound quality of the vinyl as well, and though that is due in part to me mastering for a number of records over the years (you gotta get a feel for...

Bump to let you know that individual vinyl-only copies are now available. Please have a look, a listen, and enjoy.

Until June 30th, I'm having a sale on all physical items that I have in stock: http://bhobrainey.wordpress.com/2012/06/05/sale-because-im-moving-and-too-much-of-this-stuff-can-get-heavy-and-also-the-job-thing/ This includes The BSC: Manual (book, download and/or CDr) Nmperign and Jack Meginsky vinyl...

Hey Raub! Sorry, I just caught this post. Basically, the social network connection was pretty successful, but it is not something that I think can be done too many times. It was very cool to be able to have at least a tiny bit of contact with every single person who downloaded the music. In terms of...

That's pretty killer. Angst Hase Pfeffer Nase completely overlooked last year, as usual.

everyone self releasing doesn't get rid of labels, it creates a saturated culture made up of millions of tiny labels where "great albums" have no impact anymore. when there is a multitude of "great albums" in all genre's coexisting at one time they drain each other of their greatness and become not...

Oh, I agree that it's currently a parallel universe — and even that universe is not as clear cut as it seems. I'm just thinking of people in that universe developing different skills / techniques for finding music than we did. I mean, I didn't listen to Derek Bailey when I was a teenager, but the wa...

On a side note, I don't think that there are many grounds for predicting the extinction of labels, publishers, etc., and I wouldn't greet that extinction happily. Something that might be important, however, with regards to labels' health and effective functioning is the fact that you can't really se...

Obviously this discussion has reached a level of ridiculousness. I'm personally more interested in how changes in recording technology and distribution affect the idea of an "album", "song", or, more generally "release". I like this especially in the realm of improvisation, which, I believe, benefit...

Hardcovers are sold out. Paperbacks are super nice, though!

Now Shipping. 7 hardcovers left.

I saw the book as the release actually. It was what got me interested; the music I saw as a kind of a bonus (though I think once I have tome in hand it will seem more integral to the whole package). I don't think I bought an album, at least in the traditional sense of the term. I have lots of (prob...

I understand, and, to be clear, I wanted to offer it in a number of formats because I want people to enjoy it in a way that makes sense to them. If I thought that a certain format was ridiculous for this release, I wouldn't offer it (it's not on cassette, for instance; and, there's no vinyl largely ...

Actually, I think the fact that the BSC release is a book skews the results significantly. I bet that over 90% of orders would be for a physical copy if no book was involved, based on my experience with other releases (Arena Ladridos, for instance, which is available as a download or CD + download f...

I wonder what the incentive is against offering releases in both download and CD(R) format. It doesn't have to cost more (unless you insist on distribution in the online "stores" like iTunes and Spotify [no one talking about this as a major game-changer / life-ruiner?] — more on that below), and it ...

I'm a fool all year 'round, but this is especially for Xmas fools.

I really appreciate the interest in this project. Most of the hardcovers have been claimed at this point. It sounds great, too! The three performances that come as a DL are excellent. Really engrossing stuff. Nice warm-up for the book itself. Thanks! I think that the book and music complement each o...

A good chunk of these are already claimed with pre-orders. Once they're gone, they're gone. Music by the BSC (with Pauli...
