Ten hour album of Metasonix-based soundtracks

EPTC · Post by **EPTC** » Sat Feb 02, 2019 2:56 pm

Hey there - I posted this on the Metasonix User Group on facebook (Link: http://www.facebook.com/groups/2183255868413833/permalink/2432654390140645/

I just launched a Kickstarter for THE BUREAU book I worked on in 2018. There's a lot of Metasonix D, S, R, and RK in pretty much every track. 9.7 hours and 202 tracks.

Here's the link for any more information: http://www.ep.tc/kick

Thanks for your help in getting the book made. Nicely inexpensive download to all the music, too. Fun use of Metasonix for percussion, audio filtering, gating samples, dual spring reverb, general mayhem, glitching, battery acid, carbonation, hypnosis, border crossing, color bleed, and clattering.

Here's the video with a bunch of views of Metasonix modules/devices:

I donated to the Kickstarter. This is something I don't do often.

All of you are commanded to pull your fists out of your horse anuses and DONATE SOMETHING to Ethan. Keep him around. The world needs more experimental graphic novels and fewer furry porn comics dammit.

Thank you Eric!!! I'm inclined to make that a back cover blurb, friend. Ha, thank you so much. Hashtag horse anus!

I backed it as well. Looks and sounds like an interesting and unusual project. I happened to have gotten a few extra bucks on my tax refund this year; and I like to help out fringe artists when I can.

And more experimental furry porn graphic novels.

Thank you so much, luchog!

Ha, yeah. We're through the eye of the furry glass, people.

Saddle stitched? Perfect bound? Paginated?

I worry that the answer might have you explode with satisfaction, and there's already enough glue in the binding.

But to apply Rule 34 here:

(ahem) Eighty Eight pages, perfect bound. Tight spine, virgin matte sheets! ASMR screaming.

Hi, everyone, this has been a good week for the campaign - We're around 200% funded and I'd like to introduce a fun flex goal for the final ten days.

I'll perform a nine hour live video marathon from within the studio for the last day of the campaign, Friday March 1, 8:55am-6:30pm. Will endeavor to use every piece of equipment in the room during the duration of the event.

Very exciting Ethan. Backed!

Such a fun project and glad to be able to participate and experience it in a physical form.

I love the regular updates, can't wait to see the finished work.

Apparently he passed the funding minimum so it went thru. Keep us updated, Ethan!

The minimum and then some. Looks to be a very interesting and fun project.

Wish I could have stuck around for the entire live session Friday, but too many errands to run.

Haha - Yeah!! Yeah I did the live feed on Friday that I'm just now recovered from - Completed the whole nine hour video show! (Got better near end with a one-hour debate on instant coffee crystals and a fun noisemaker from an RK3 that I didn't realize was pulverizing into a feedback loop, to the Rk3's credit, sounded amazing!

Many updates to come - I have to draw a few people into the book (literally) and then send it out to get printed, with a plan to complete the performance evals in March. Eric, your professional evaluation is forthcoming! (I can't wait to do it)

Great to hear you stopped by for part of it!

Not sure how long this stays up in their archive but you might be able to jump around with this https://live.kickstarter.com/ethan-pers ... o-marathon

(just jump to the end of each two hour video scrub line to get to the next, I think it's in six segments - sadly the first is probably the least interesting as it was testing equipment, didn't know it was recording at that point)

Thanks very much, everyone. This community's the best in the world - E

Cheers, Ethan congrats on your marathon! I was checking in and out while I was at work.

Seemed like you had a lot of fun. Enjoyed your banter outlining some of the gear you were using and what was going on at the time.

Hey, thanks ESP! Sorry to say no books planned presently but you can download the entire soundtrack and PDF of the book from Bandcamp:

I'm not presently sure if I'll be making another run of copies (still evaluating that) but that link above is a quick link to the music. Thanks for asking!
