Chefkirk / Somnaphon : Tender Pink Movements

New Release from Bicephalic Records:


Chefkirk / Somnaphon : Tender Pink Movements
Bicephalic Records - BC006 - c20 cassette split
http://www.bicephalic.net/bc006.html

Two great tastes that taste great together:
A cassette split featuring Roger Smith (Chefkirk, _whALe_pLAtE_, Insects with Tits, Control Valve netlabel) and August Traeger (Somnaphon, Nipple Stools, Food World, Bicephalic Records). For this release, Chefkirk creates a sparse minimal glitch cut-up piece of sound and Somnaphon manipulates midi data to create a smeared electro-atmosphere. Great for a nice walk in the park or for a bad walk in the street... whatever you're into.

Chefkirk is Roger H Smith is no-input mixing board is location recordings is microcassette is sampler is cpu is controlvalve.net
Recorded 2010-2011 @ HOME

Works in progress / Upcoming releases

according to the Gregorian Calendar hanging on my wall, the end of 2008 is fast approaching. it is shaping up to be a busy & productive year ahead. numerous releases are planned for 2009:

a somnaphon trilogy is being released. part 3 will be released first. it is called "Florida".
in addition to the three albums being released as a trilogy, there is a fourth group of songs that are being assembled for another possible release. several compilations will be featuring Somnaphon tracks as well. it is possible that a fifth cd could be released this year featuring all of these disparate compilation tracks.

Mr.Stonecipher Vs. Somnaphon might be coming up with an actual name for their project this year. Whether they do or not, a 2-cd set is in the works, and possibly a vinyl EP as well.

A collaboration with Carl Kruger may surface also. we shall see...
