Speak Onion- The Illusion of Depth

Just in time for tonight’s big show, my new E.P. is out on Immigrant Breast Nest. Download and get it into your earholes, and then come out tonight in Brooklyn to see it live!

Today is the official beginning of the B’ak’tun Waning project, the lead-up to the 2012 apocalypse as curated by David Morneau in 12 tracks and brought to you by Immigrant Breast Nest. I start it off with Nonlinear Division, a locust plague of a track that will leave no doubt as to the nature of this project. Find it on Immigrant Breast Nest or on soundcloud.

Also on soundcloud, is Salt in the Symbols, a new preview track from The Illusion of Depth, which will be released through Immigrant Breast Nest on January 27.

Big news! The new Speak Onion EP, IBN027: The Illusion of Depth is coming on January 27, and to celebrate the release, I’ll be playing a show at The Charleston in Brooklyn! The lineup for the show is fully amazing including  the mighty Duran Duran Duran in from Berlin, Watabou, Bad Timing and Digit216! We’re going to wild out and celebrate at max volume, so don’t sleep!

The excellent Solipsistic NATION podcast features Immigrant Breast Nest this week, with a mix of tracks and an interview with me and with David B. Applegate. We get to talking about how great I.B.N. is and playing the finest in I.B.N. music. You’ll want to check that out to hear all about the latest and greatest as well as drink in some spectacular tunes. Get it: http://solipsisticnation.com/solipsistic-nation-no-262-immigrant-breast-nest/

You’ll hear us mention the upcoming B’ak’tun Waning project on the podcast. This is a project that I.B.N. is working on with David Morneau, where we count down to the Apocalypse (as predicted by the Mayan Calendar) on 12/21/2012 by releasing a new eschaton-themed track on the 21st day of each month. Speak Onion is up first, so expect new a new Speak Onion track on 1/21/2012. More details to come about all that, so keep an eye on the B’ak’tun Waning page at Immigrant Breast Nest.

The podcast also includes a new and unreleased Speak Onion joint called “Salt In The Symbols.” This track is taken from a new Speak Onion E.P. to be released at the end of January, 2012. There will be four new Speak Onion bangers to shred your mind brains. And, we’ll be celebrating that new release with a live show at The Charleston in Brooklyn on 1/27/2012, so keep an eye on this site for more details about that.

For now though, just sit back and enjoy the Solipsistic NATION podcast and have a happy new year. Exciting times to come!

AMSCRAY: The Scrams Get Scrambled

I.B.N. is bringing you another collection of zonked remixes, this time drawing material from our friends and wild garage rock practitioners, The Scrams. This includes my dark, shredded breakcore version of La Llorona, which should have you drowning your loved ones in a dirty canal by approximately minute 4. That plus the 5 other diverse and top-quality remixes will transport you to the proverbial Big Garage in the Sky. Enjoy!

Speak Onion and Joy Through Noise- Entangled Fields

Here it comes! New full-length album! There’s three new tracks from me, three new tracks from Joy Through Noise, and a remix from each of us. I’m up to my usual drum’n'noise, but it’s somehow simultaneously more melodic, more groovy, more broken, and more aggressive than ever. More is more, I say. Joy Through Noise is a terrific compliment, with plenty of monolithic distorted rhythms shifting behind a wall of ambient haze. She is building an industrial future. And the remixes don’t really land in between so much as they get splattered all over everything.

Immigrant Breast Nest brings you mp3s for download, of course, and there’s also a beautiful CDR package available in limited quantities featuring Joy Through Noise’s artwork and full quality sonic mayhem.

And don’t miss the show on Saturday if you can help it. You can catch Joy Through Noise, myself, and three other genius electronic music practitioners also with new releases on Immigrant Breast Nest. You can rest assured that my set will have lots of material from Entangled Fields, and plenty of other wreckage as well.

The new split record between myself and Joy Through Noise, called Entangled Fields, is coming soon. Really soon; so soon you can taste it. So, to whet your appetite, I’ve put up a preview track on Soundcloud. I’ll also be bringing some of these styles to the upcoming release show at The Charleston, among other brand new and exciting sounds. So go have a listen and leave a comment or whatever, and I’ll see you folks in the basement on July 9. I’m getting amped, are you?

I’ll be playing an all new set at this epic night of off-kilter electronics.  AND, this will mark the release of my new split record with Joy Through Noise on Immigrant Breast Nest, called Entangled Fields (more on this soon). In fact, everyone on the bill that night is dropping a new record in IBN.  It’s a celebration!

Speak Onion w/ Mercy Choir- Victoria

Mercy Choir and I are back with another EP mixing my drum’n'noise roughness with his psych-folk freakouts. We’re very proud to bring you Victoria. These 5 songs bring what we started with Symposia to a new level. Enjoy.

I’m bashing in the new year this Friday at this show at 13  Thames. Stoked to play alongside Digit216and Deli Snail & Automaton (a.k.a. Insect Deli & Automaton) again, and Makh & Gstompz and Lance Blisters for the first time and everyone else too. Should be a super fun night, even if I do have to eat tons of candy to stay awake that late.
