WORK/DEATH reissue campaign

by |

Scott “WORK/DEATH” Reber quit his 8 year job as a night janitor and is focusing on his music, going HARD AS HELL IS HOT. first up is a massive reissue campaign of tapes by W/D and related acts, as released on Reber’s “Three Songs Of Lenin” label. I think it’s going to be like ten tapes all said and done, all with the original multi-color fold out silkscreen covers and inserts (on paper bag paper). the first three tapes out of the gate are:

  1. Work/Death “Le Corbusier”
    my personal favorite tape of his, a dedication to brutalist architecture- one long piece, one long note, in two parts (A and B). TSOL press release: “stare at the floor and wait until you leave the room. focus on this point and have patience. a440.”

    insert reads:

  2. Olneyville String System
    TSOL press release: “improv string trio conversations between cybele blue shift (violin), miriam black forest/black sea (cello), and myself (upright bass). teenage daydreams of xenakis and feldman. obsessive-compulsive inner ear itch/scratch.”
  3. Ten Thousand Things “Flat Bed Wreckers”
    TSOL press release: “on going collaboration with geoff mullen. this installment leans towards open sky nz drone pitted against low gray city clouds. organ, midi, microcassette.”

to order go to chipsylvania. these highly sought-after tapes are in limited quantities so DON’T SLEEP!
