New releases on Notice Recordings

My cassette label, Notice Recordings, has announced two new releases. They are by Brooklyn-based French horn player and composer Anne Guthrie, and Chicago-based sound constructors Coppice. I’ve been in awe of both of these artists for quite some time, so it’s an honour to release something by them.

The artwork and layout is by me, with the exception of a photograph insert taken by Anne (not pictured here). The inserts were letterpress printed by John Fitzgerald in New Orleans. The Coppice release features two red sections, which were hand rubber stamped.

For more information, please see this post. Copies are for sale from me (thecoloroflight [at] hotmail [dot] com) (why not buy some art while you’re at it), or through Notice Recordings (which ultimately goes to, you know, me).

Thanks

This is a quick iPhone snapshot of a drawing of mine which will be used for Anne Guthrie‘s forthcoming Notice Recordings cassette release,

Release date is sometime in June.

Finnish accordion

An iPhone recording taken during the Dense Reduction show in Brooklyn, featuring Ben Owen, Anne Guthrie, and Yellow Crystal Star… From the drunken weaves of our undulating Finnish filmmaker friends emerged a woman with an accordion and a strong voice. She graced us with her music before Mark’s (YCS) set, which can be heard briefly at the end of the recording.

In other Notice Recordings news, an email-conducted interview by Foxy Digitalis / Digitalis Industries has been posted on their site: http://www.foxydigitalis.com/foxyd/?p=17044. A fine example of how we see things, now.

The Wire magazine has posted two of our tapes on their “Sleeves Received” blog, featuring “gems” received in their “mailbag”. A great, simple blog, highlighting some of the fantastic printing and design work on so many records, CDs, and cassette tapes these days.
