Psychic Ills [March 2008]

Another Vimeo upload. I also recorded this performance, at a Todd P show, in March of 2008. Psychic Ills just played Austin again, and it inspired me to put this old footage online. I only wish the camera battery would have allowed me to capture the whole thing.

New Mountain Husband tracks on Soundcloud.com

I made a Black Fontanelle profile, on soundcloud.com, a while back. It's a great place to upload tracks. I like that it makes a waveform along with every track. You can also identify each piece as a 'work in progress,' etc. Here are some new tracks that I've been making the last five months. You can download each one by clicking the downward arrow on the side of each player.

Old Time Relijun [March 2008]

I recorded this Old Time Relijun show, in its 14 minute entirety, at a TODD P show, last year. Finally added it to Vimeo. Fuck, I love that site.

I wish this guy was recording shows when I lived in Richmond. The sound is pretty damn good, especially on the Nara recording. Check out these free mp3 downloads of Bermuda Triangles, recorded by Silver Persinger. Also, a video by Silver from their show on September 19 @ The Trippple w/The Intelligence.

Drum-Machine Circle!

Recently The Awthum Empire has hosted two "Drum-Machine Circles" on the pedestrian bridge just south of downtown Austin, the most recent was on 9-9-09. I got to experience both events and it was super "awthum" both times!!!!
These are all the videos I could find online from both... yeah, you had to be there.

Trip Glasses!!!!

All of the Compound crew have been having fun with these things we found recently called "Trip Glasses"... Dave just got some and mine are on the way. They don't make you feel like your tripping, they basically work like a Dream Machine using blinking LEDs and sound frequencies that match the brain waves of deep meditation. You won't see unicorns and rainbows, but you actually will see some really "trippy" shapes and fractal looking things and experience some weird sound effects. Plus, they really make your brain meditate, they look totally bad ass and the audio comes out of an eight inch headphone jack (I will be experimenting with that for sure)!!!! They work great sober, even better stoned... but I tried them actually tripping and I wouldn't recommend it.

You can buy a pair for only $40, CLICK HERE!

Here is a video of some peoples reaction to Trip Glasses, and then the creator Mitch Altman explaining how they work ("Trip Glasses" were originally called a "Brain Machine"):

And as a bonus, the same website that sells the Trip Glasses (www.makershed.com) also sells something called a "555 NoiseMusick Kit"... CHECK IT OUT!


SIIIIIIICK!
