• Artist: a vibrant struggle Title: whispering bones Format: CDR Label: small doses (USA) Price: $8.00 $4.80 (40% sale) Catalog ID: CarbonDist_dosethirtyone ""a vibrant struggle" is a collaboration between norwegians sindre bjerga and jan m. iversen and dutchman steffan de turck (aka staplerfahrer). in the fall of 2007, the trio spent a weekend putting music to tape. this is the third volume from their sessions -following fast on the heels of a release on 905 tapes. a single 31+ minute jam comprised of meditative drones, percussive acoustics, and cacaphonous bliss. edition of 83."

• Artist: meditations Title: eternal absence Format: 3inch CDR Label: small doses (USA) Price: $5.00 $3.00 (40% sale) Catalog ID: CarbonDist_dosethirtythree "this is the third release from this trio - franklin teagle, matt yacoub, and ryan mcgill (bones of seabirds). schizophrenic noise -PE-like one moment dark ambience in others - of the highest order - drenched in feedback with a heart of stone. cover art by matt yacoub. edition of 115."

• Artist: bones of seabirds Title: subterranean lightsource Format: CDR Label: small doses (USA) Price: $8.00 $4.80 (40% sale) Catalog ID: CarbonDist_dosethirtyfour "it seems that ryan mcgill is complete unable to cover the same ground twice. this is the fourth (i believe) bones seabirds release, and it sounds nothing like any of the others. this one foregoes the guitars (for the most part) and relies on ryan's handmade voice of saturn synth.the first nearly 35 minute track is intense and brutal - like being strapped into some sort of machine that's boring deeper and deeper into the earth only to slowly burn you alive. the second gives a bit of respite, but leaves you lost in a dark cave drone. it's not to be missed. packaged in a folded artwork by matt yacoub, with an obi and an insert. edition of 129 copies."

• Artist: flea apparitions and lame prey Title: split Format: 3inch CDR Label: small doses (USA) Price: $5.00 $3.00 (40% sale) Catalog ID: CarbonDist_dosethirtysix "this is the first in a small doses split personality series. lame prey and flea apparitions are both products of the same mind, that of lorne zeman. lame prey starts the disc off with a long piece that mixes up huge, harsh sounds that tend towards power electronics with feedback laced calms in the storm. the flea apparitions portion takes a similarly harsh but more relentless approach built from tape loops. edition of 66 copies."

• Artist: U Can Unlearn Guitar Title: no strings Format: CD Label: yelpco Price: $8.00 $4.80 (40% sale) Catalog ID: CarbonDist_yelpco02 "A compendium of essential recordings and performances for the unlearned at heart from this Northern Pennsylvania (via Brooklyn and L.A.) psycho-genius; needless to say, also a member of the infamous acid-punk combo BunnyBrains. This comprehensive and incomprehensible compilation covers no less than 8 years of recorded output, pulling together and best and most bizarre cuts of acoustic singer-songwriter fare, plunderphonic experimentation and plain ol‘ nonsense ‘n‘ noise. One man, but many personalities - in live performance he finds ever more unique and absurd ways to destroy and then reconstruct guitars; but on this recorded document you get glimpses of the most refreshing songwriting in years, according to Dartmouth music professor and noted composer Larry Polansky, who contributes the liner notes. Co-released with Sunship, Little Mafia and Breathmint."

• Artist: Tsarskoie Selo Hemophilarmonic Title: s/t Format: CDR Label: Nothing Out There (Belgium) Price: $10.00 $6.00 (40% sale) Catalog ID: CarbonDist_NOT10 "I've said this times and times before, but the very first show of Tsarskoïe Selo Hemophilarmonic was one of the best live soundtrack I've witnessed so far. On the night Belgium's national day, at the break of summer, a group of people quietly gathered in the backyard garden of an instruments-filled house in Tournai. The rendez-vous was for a solo improvisation upon a projection of Robertson's silent adaptation for the screen of Dr.Jekyll & Mr.Hyde. Under the twisted pseudonym of TSH acts the same man already known here as L'Enfant Méduse. But TSH aims at a very different, though not completely unfamiliar sound universe. Sharing the darkness and loneliness of the Méduse, TSH is much more ghotic and less obvious, and, if anything, much more electricity-based and noisy. Still it is not an accident that the first important project of TSH involved the myth of Dr.Jekyll & Mr.Hyde, for it forms, with L'Enfant Méduse, a kind of supplementary schizophrenic duo. One year after Dr.Jekyll & Mr.Hyde, The home sessions of this first release by TSH have quickly followed the recording day in Odomez of L'Enfant Méduse's recent release. From the man's word, it is a religious album, an abstract requiem inspired by the naïve and fatalistic faith of northern continental Europe's coalfield, its desperately black and flat earth, and its memory disturbed and transformed by the industrial exploitation.

• Artist: Robert Horton Title: If I can't play my Boot I don't have a leg to stand on Format: CDR Label: Nothing Out There (Belgium) Price: $10.00 $6.00 (40% sale) Catalog ID: CarbonDist_NOT09 "In May 2007, along with the master CD of his 3" release Salts that have lost Water, Robert Horton sent me an home-burnt CD-r selecting nine unreleased tracks from a recent period of recording, ranging from November 2006 to March 2007. In the midst of a battle with health troubles, the American improvisor and handyman still managed to carry on his experimental musical process. A couple of months ago, in Autumn 2008, on an accidental fresh listen of this collection of tracks, I was struck by how high they standed into the man's production so far. Inside this unreleased selection, I felt were collected some of Horton's best recent works, and thus proposed him to get an official release done for them. Though currently having a break away from the digital world, Robert welcomed my proposal immediately."
