     Digitalis main man Brad Rose, rocking out some ethereal noise
     in his 'The North Sea' guise. The sound of a slow-mo car crash
     and the impending face slide against the concrete. Melted.
     digitalis presents..
     arroyo
     a new cd-r subscription series
     arroyo (n) - A small, deep gully or channel of an ephemeral
     stream. Arroyos usually have relatively flat floors and are
     flanked by steep sides consisting of unconsolidated sediments.
     They are usually dry except after heavy rainfall.
     we were so inspired by the whole of bottling smoke and the
     people we met, we decided to pour all that into doing a new
     subscription series. and suffice to say, we're beyond stoked
     about this one. we've expanded it to 11 CDRs (and you can be
     sure there'll be some unannounced bonus surprises again this
     time) and cranked up the packaging a notch. "arroyo" is about
     impermanence, which is one of the central ideas behind a lot
     of this great music... be it through improvisation, one-off
     performances, or the sometimes impermanent nature of CDRs
     themselves... there's something kind of great in that idea,
     and we're hoping to shine a bright stinking light on it with
     "arroyo."
     as with the first series we did, there will be three mailings
     (4 discs in two mailings, 3 in one) beginning in october.
     about the packaging... the front & back designs were done by
     eden hemming rose and letterpressed in bluish-silver metallic
     ink by the always amazing stumptown printers. each one has the
     artist name for that particular volume handwritten, and each
     with it's own artist-specific insert. and you can be sure we
     have more tricks up our sleeves with this.
     the series is strictly limited to 100 copies available from
     us, and an additional 6 copies will soon be available via echo
     curio. those 6 will have special additions to them from the
     curians themselves.
     the final lineup:
     starving weirdos
     the north sea
     theo angell & the tabernacle hillside singers
     (singers on this occasion were the goodwillies (tim, heather,
     & cat -age 3) + ilyas ahmed + matt mcdowell)
     xela
     gregg kowalsky
     terracid
     tom carter
     taiga remains
     the holy see
     ajilvsga
     ilyas ahmed
