GW 010 is coming in a few months, Michael wrote a bit about it here:

bumping this to let people know that 010 ('Closed Categories in Cartesian Worlds') is now available for preorder with lossless DL link upon payment and shipment of the physical items in a few weeks when they arrive, send me a mail at erstrecs@aol.com if interested or order via the PayPal link on the right side of the site. thanks!!

this one might be my fave GW yet, highly recommended for Amacher and Lucier fans.

also bumping this from 2010 from Mr. Cornford...

Listening to ricefall and wondering how many bags of rice it would take to do a live version of this piece.

and now you know!

(although that was ricefall (1), not ricefall (2), but still...)

[Hayao Yamaneko]

That was a big pile o' rice.
Kids present had a fine time with it once the noise was over.

The other surprise of the live version was Dom Lash finding room for extended rice technique - clearing a space with his foot without for a moment stemming the ricey flow. Startling dexterity on show.

It looked pretty great, sounded good too, in the midst of it.

I guess we forgot to post here before, but GW 010 is out now, to great acclaim. there is a clip of it here:

also Seth Cooke wrote about it a bit on Bang the Bore:

"the sheer physicality of this record is breathtaking. It almost seems to convert the home stereo into a quadraphonic system, throwing sound around the room, changing constantly with relation to the listener’s position."

bumping this thread to announce an end of the year sale on the first nine Gravity Wave titles (not the just released 010):

GW 006: Hearing Metal 3
GW 007: fields have ears (6)

normally they are $14 each plus shipping, but from now through 12/31, they are on sale for only $11 each plus shipping, or $90 plus shipping if you order all nine together.

send me a note at erstrecs@aol.com and tell me which you'd like, and I'll get you a total price including shipping. thanks for reading!

Nice review of GW 010 by Brian Olewnick:

" ... walking through the room can be rather incredible, getting the very physical feeling of passing through sound waves."

[jon abbey]

thanks for the sale response so far, we are extending the sale another week, so through 1/7, midnight EST. check out what has people so excited, this year's GWs are all over people's year end lists again.

also, Ian Parsons chose 'Closed Categories in Cartesian Worlds' as his top record of the year and played it in entirety on his last radio show of the year, as well as writing about it quite a bit here:

http://www.pbsfm.org.au/node/31954

the show should be archived there somewhere, I can't vouch for the sound quality.

this thread hasn't been bumped in a while, so i'm going to use it at a chance to mention that m. pisaro will be presenting a performance at the turrell skyspace in Houston on april 22nd.

if you've heard the cds mentioned here you'll know how exciting that should be. if you haven't, well maybe fix that?

Michael announced the ambitious three disc box project he is working on earlier today, collectively titled 'Continuum Unbound' and scheduled for fall release. details and great pix here:

[Hayao Yamaneko]

Looks great.

[bnuob]

unbelievably excited for that. wow

[mpisaro]

Taking preorders now for "Continuum Unbound." It should ship at the beginning of October.

Some more details and the cover images here:

[jon abbey]

Continuum Unbound is out as of today, first copies shipped this AM. really happy with how this turned out in every way, the outer box is nicely sturdy:

[Piano Mouth]

This looks super great, Jon. Sorry about the delay, though I talked with someone from my local record store who is going to try and order it for me. Can't wait.

[jon abbey]

there's no US distributor, just me, so you will probably need to order directly. Metamkine in Europe, IMJ in Japan, and maybe a few others will stock it eventually, but right now no distro anywhere has them yet.

[cleanzero]

What a beauty. Will Soundohm in Italy get copies ?

What a beauty. Will Soundohm in Italy get copies ?

possibly via Metamkine, not from me directly.
