(Sorry for the cross post, but David uses a Doepfer/Eurorack system for this project.) The next release from Rastascan, due at the end of July, is the double vinyl LP from The New Black called "The White Album," featuring John Shiurba and Jeremy Drake (guitar), David Rothbaum (analog modular synth), and Gino Robair (motors, bows, metal). Recorded direct to disc January 21, 2008 in Los Angeles, these long-form improvisations explore timbre and noise and span three album sides. Side D is comprised of about two dozen locked grooves that were "sampled" in real-time by Richard Simpson, the mastering engineer at Infrasonic Studios. The double-LP is available in a limited edition of 200 on black vinyl. We're accepting pre-orders right now: $21 ppd in the US, and slightly more everywhere else. (Much of the price is shipping cost, so bear with us.) These discs will be available only from us directly, so if you're interested, let us know before they're snapped up.
