So when I printed up the miniature paper dolls, the color prints looked all pixelated, so I had to print them in black & white & recolor them. Didn’t have a chance yet to start shooting the video. Maybe tomorrow?
I got an email from mwvm & things have changed a bit on the new release & it will be digital only. Hopefully we’ll have things ready for it in a couple of weeks.
Last Night’s Dream:
I’m at the mall with Peter Aldrich. He has a stash of a couple hundred seven inches that he doesn’t have space for in his house that he’s giving me that I plan to distort to make weird loops. While we’re talking he starts a conversation with some girl who walks by & then a dude comes running out of Best Buy (in the blue shirt uniform) that is the girl’s boyfriend & I’m trying to calm him down. This guy really needs to get a girlfriend he is less afraid of cheating on him.
As for mwvm, any chance to have a limited run of physical copies (maybe CDRs)? : (
I’m not sure. I’m really torn on the ultra limited run stuff & I haven’t figured out if I should be doing that or just going digital (especially since as I’ve said before, I don’t personally listen to music on a computer or MP3 player). My problem is most CDR stuff I see ends up looking a bit cheap & I’d rather not do it at all than have something chintzy. All that said, I’m still thinking about it conceptually. I am always (somewhat secretly) willing to burn a CDR of a digital release for a fan & mail it to them for $5 plus shipping.
I see your point, Brian. I don’t listen to music on a computer or MP3 player, either (only CDS). I was just thinking about a CDR thing with essential artwork like Plumerai “Res Cogitans” – although it wasn’t a limited edition, I suppose.
Well, with Res Cogitans that was something we weren’t even trying to break even on, it was just to get people ready for Without Number. We just made 100 of them with the knowledge that would be plenty. It was also at a point where money seemed a lot easier to come buy. Really what I suppose I should have done was invest $1000 on a CD duplicator with the ability to print on discfaces back in 2000 or so & not ended up with all the stock on hand. Hindsight….
which remidns me about your dream, i was sure that pete showed up at the mall to stuff the unsold 7″s into the bins at record and magazine shops.
They weren’t unsold 7″s, more thrift store 7″s. But I think there was a Prince one in the batch if I recall correctly.
how about this? i will burn a cd-r with artwork FREE of charge to anyone who pays for the album via silber?
@Micheal, I remember when you sent me a CDR copy of your Demos in the past, but now I’m wondering if it would be convenient for you – considering also the shipping costs…
hello nic,
yes, i remember, italy if i recall? i’ll probably ask the recipient to cover postage costs via paypal, a nominal £1.50 or something.
Yes Italy, Michael. I live in the south – specifically in Sicily :)
Covering postage costs via PayPal is a good idea – just let us (followers) know if you decide to burn some CDR with artwork.
