digitalis presents.. arroyo a new cd-r subscription series arroyo (n) - A small, deep gully or channel of an ephemeral stream. Arroyos usually have relatively flat floors and are flanked by steep sides consisting of unconsolidated sediments. They are usually dry except after heavy rainfall. we were so inspired by the whole of bottling smoke and the people we met, we decided to pour all that into doing a new subscription series. and suffice to say, we're beyond stoked about this one. we've expanded it to 11 CDRs (and you can be sure there'll be some unannounced bonus surprises again this time) and cranked up the packaging a notch. "arroyo" is about impermanence, which is one of the central ideas behind a lot of this great music... be it through improvisation, one-off performances, or the sometimes impermanent nature of CDRs themselves... there's something kind of great in that idea, and we're hoping to shine a bright stinking light on it with "arroyo." as with the first series we did, there will be three mailings (4 discs in two mailings, 3 in one) between august and october. about the packaging... the front & back designs were done by eden hemming rose and letterpressed in bluish-silver metallic ink by the always amazing stumptown printers. each one has the artist name for that particular volume handwritten, and each with it's own artist-specific insert. and you can be sure we have more tricks up our sleeves with this. the series is strictly limited to 100 copies available from us, and an additional 6 copies will soon be available via echo curio. those 6 will have special additions to them from the curians themselves. the final lineup: starving weirdos the north sea theo angell & the tabernacle hillside singers (singers on this occasion were the goodwillies (tim, heather, & cat -age 3) + ilyas ahmed + matt mcdowell) xela gregg kowalsky terracid tom carter taiga remains the holy see ajilvsga ilyas ahmed
