Couple new trakcs

Couple new tracks, they are out takes from the recording session for the hard panning comp.

More releases added to band camp

Added a lot of the previous releases to band camp, free or pay what you want. So you can now get them in lossless format now. Mostly stuff I’ve already posted as MP3s, but a 1 or 2 other releases are there too. Such as my old project, The New Low Standards, with bonus track, and the Paths Untrodden release.

Check out them out here, http://artasintent.bandcamp.com/

Any requests for older out of print PBR releases, let me know.

Bartek Kalinka ‎– Violin & Dry Leaves, cover art.

I recently did the cover art for this tape, it’s now out via Knife In The Toaster. Can order HERE.

Bartek Kalinka is someone that I’ve been aware of for a number of years. After a couple of trades for his XV Parowek tapes and related release material, I knew that I’d eventualy release something for him. Well, yeah. Here we are then. The title pretty much tells you what you need to know then, eh? A blend of the the cerebral and the direct. Violin = Leaves, Leaves = Violin etc. Jcard art by Jake Vida. Available in black on cream and cream on black. Edition of 30.

Been sitting on these for a while now. Limited amount available, email first for size. Printed on Gildan Heavy Cotton. First come first served.

Grip Of Inertia reviewed by Virtual Ritual

This album is Canadian Jake Vida’s first recorded material in over four and a half years. Merzbow is sited as a heavy influence and harsh noise seems to be the genre that Vida has placed his work in. “Habitual 1” is certainly harsh and blistering in distortion. It sounds quite free form and improvisatory as well, as the bed of sound shifts in texture and at times oscillates in a fixed rhythm, if only for a short while. “Metal Lord” is another good display of smooth manipulation, which requires deep listening from the audience, if they want to notice the subtle changes that occur throughout the song. “Habitual 2” incorporates a similar approach aesthetically, whereas in the beginning of “Grip of Inertia” there is a tape loop of a man and a woman talking about headlights (it becomes more and more strange after listening to it repeat throughout the song) mixed with a spastic analog synth wooshing and blipping all over the place.
