  Jimmy Joe Roche - Swamp Waves
 


Swamp Waves Cassette - $7 USD, postage paid (U.S.).
Limited edition (50 copies)
  "Swamp Waves was recorded live in my home during the summer of 2011. The sounds were inspired by the paintings of Charles Burchfield, memories of Florida and the sounds of cicadas outside my window. Parts of this tape are very much in stereo." - Jimmy Joe Roche

  "The Sword Swallow"
 


Sword Swallow Cassette - $7 USD, postage paid (in the U.S.).
Limited edition (50 copies)
  "The Sword Swallow is a man. He does not swallow swords, only ideas, which he vomits out into non-idiomatic sound-shapes. Brilliant? Plodding? None can say but the Sword Swallow himself and these seem to be questions he is entirely uninterested in answering. The third eye has opened." - Owen Gardner

Jon Ehrens is sometimes Sword Swallow

  "Repelican"
 


Repelican Cassette - $7 USD, postage paid (in the U.S.).
Limited edition (50 copies)
  Repelican is the former home-recording Pun Rock project of Jonathan Ehrens. The earliest Repelican songs were recorded in 1999, and the most palatable of these songs were collected and released on Mobile Lounge Records in 2003. 2 formal releases and a handful of collections followed over the course of the next several years. Banned from the Gopher Hole, Repelican is an on/again/off/again raw and rugged live band from time to time.

  Andrew Bernstein - "Unnatural Music For Cassette"
 


Sold out.
  Unnatural Music for Cassette is two side long performances of live electronic music using custom programmed software. Using static forms, at times meditative and others jarring, both pieces explore the relationship of the computer to the cassette and issues of fidelity. In addition to dragging number boxes to generate tones, Bernstein composes and improvises music for many instruments and plays music with many people. He lives in Baltimore.

  Free Man - "Intuition"
 


Free Man Tape - $7 USD, postage paid (in the U.S.).
Limited edition (50 copies)
  All-Seeing Eyes Comprise the Essence of what Lives and Dies, in the Assemblage of Sacred Grids. The Awareness of Location and Direction of any Motion or Movements on or through these Gifted Gradations is Wholly Supported in Their Very Presence. These Points, to which we inevitably Return, are themselves Extending Out in All Directions, ad infinitum. All Choices are Possible; you Intuitively know the Laws At Work. SzealaminnimaatezS is a Um. Free Man Intuition's record of fountainous cathedral pyramid façades cyclically cascading, stillness and wild whipping of tiny candlelight, walking step by step one foot then the other day-in and day-out to, whence, and yon, foundering scavenger crash through outrage to something else...

  Archer Twins
 


Sold out.
  Archer Twins is a pulse-noise and bleep duo from Baltimore - Stewart Mostofsky and William Cashion - who were birthed on the same day under the astrological sign of Sagittarius. Stewart plays a bunch of homemade, boutique instruments that make all kinds of strange sounds, and William uses his computer to make drum loops and field recordings. This first tape was recorded in the heart of Ehse in Mt. Washington, Baltimore in early September, 2010, and is limited to 50 copies.
