I have started writing up something for you biog and notes for the website if you want to use them. Finally got around to a nice long listen of the album on decent speakers and it sounds great. The mastering is really good and it the sequence of tracks flows nicely.

I’ve now published the album on bandcamp as a pre-order! This gives us some tools to promote the thing, like having access to what bandcamp calls “exclusive embeds”. We’ll let people know about it now, and see how this goes!
Of course feel free to tell people about this!

here’s the BC page for the album:

Cool! I’m pretty close to wrapping up the text for the press website.
Talking of which, @emenel I dont’ have anything from you yet, but I could just distill something from your website if you want.

Sorry! Been totally tied up finishing my semester. I can get you something today. Or feel free to just paraphrase something :slight_smile:

Don’t worry! It’s not like we have a huge hurry, it’s mostly me trying to wrap things up so I can get to do other things. Whatever works for you, works for me.
We need to keep it short though. ~100 words / 500 characters max

Time for another update! There’s quite a few actually.

  1. CDs have been shipped and should arrive soon. We’ve also ordered all the stuff we need for the shipping.
  2. We now have a slick press page at http://kvsu.net/ironpress/ and I’ve started to contact people to see if anybody would be interested in writing about the project. Huge thanks to @jlmitch5 for helping us with that!
    If anybody sees typos or wants anything changed on their bios please let me know asap!
    @emenel for now I’ve just added a very minimal text for you, I needed to get this going, release is in a little more than a month and that doesn’t give me a lot of time. But if you want that changedplease send me a new text!
  3. I’ve made a little video for my remix, which can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EO3ZQspses. If anybody else feels like making one, I’d be happy to include it on the main project page and send it around via our newsletter and facebook page.

We do need your help here a bit. Please let people know about the album through whatever means you have, and if you have any contacts with blogs and/or zines, feel free to send them the link to the press page above.

It’s released!

Incidentally today is what’s called “unsinniger Donnerstag” (Fat Thursday) in the German speaking regions. It’s also the day we recorded the track unsinnig (hence the name), the first track we recorded for malosco session.

Everything comes full circle :slight_smile:


It’s been a wonderful experience and I would like to thank all the people involved for participating and contributing with their remixes! A special thanks goes to @jlmitch5 who helped with setting up the press/promo website.
Also big thanks to @Simeon for the mastering!
Also thanks to lines as a whole for making projects like this possible.


For the sake of transparency, here’s also a quick overview about the financial aspects.
We’ve spent around 450€ so far to make this album.
Since this is a community project and it would not be fair to make profit from it, if we are able to make more money out of this than we have spent, we’ll be donating the difference to charity.


For everybody who’s been contributing a remix: CDs are on their way!

That’s very good news - I’ll have a listen to the podcast shortly.

Edit: Now I’ve listened, and it’s lovely being placed in such company, especially following on from a Roedelius track as he is a personal hero.

@emenel @jlmitch5 @Joule @sunbeamer @onewayness @Peksy Hey everybody! Since the postal services have been a bit in disarray lately, can you please confirm if you have or haven’t received your CD yet. Just so I know!

Yep I got mine! Thank you!
