cjmann - Made For Me - Given To You

A new cjmann piece called "Made for me - given to you" will soon be complete.  It will be release as the January Prodcast, along with the standard juno download and a video.  The piece is 22 minutes long, and is made from live and processed cello, piano, voice, field recordings and percussion.  The accompanying video features processed images recorded over the new year.

Plans are also afoot to release a hand-made CD-R version of Landscapes "Fields".  The package will have a hand made cover including photographs made over the period of the recording.

More information will be posted about these releases soon.

2012

After an extended lay-off we are preparing ourselves for a number of new prods releases in 2012 including Wrong Planets "The Party Is Over", and the début from Sol-de-muerte.

Recording for "The Party Is Over" was completed towards the end of 2011 and the final mixes are being worked on as we speak.  A digital release is planned for late January/February with a CD version available soon after that.

This release will be the final release on which Dick (bass) plays on as he has now moved to France.  We would like to welcome Paul who is taking over on bass and is currently getting to grips with the WP songs.

All for now - hopefully more updates soon..
