long over due update

greetings.
Here is an update of current and upcoming projects.
The letterpress prints for the artists edition of "Radio interference from unknown orgasm" are on the way to UK to be signed by Val Denham. Here is what they look like (with plate too!).



The booklets and traycards look great and are on the way to the cd pressing plant to be assembled. I think I should have the finished product in 2 weeks.
So, if you want the artists edition visit www.somnimage.com and order NOW!

Almost ready to go the the mastering lab and the printer is the irr.app.(ext.) / mykel boyd split 7". Pre-orders will be available soon. Artists edition will have one 10" letterpress print by each artist.

Soon after will be Vertonen/Mykel Boyd collaboration 12" and Rapoon/ Mykel Boyd 12"

The Francisco Lopez/Mykel Boyd Lathe cut 10" is selling fast. If you want one , you know the drill.

Many other projects in various stages of completion, more news on those when it's available.

Here is a write up from the Chicago Reader for the Elastic Arts show.

  • Tuesday 15

  • Mykel Boyd
    There's nothing but bird sounds on "Oiseaux Part Five," Mykel Boyd's side of a split eight-inch record he released on his Somnimage label, but you'd never know it from listening to the thing. Boyd, a local sound artist, has used a combination of acoustic and electronic processes to transform his source material into layered and deeply involving musique concrete, with jet-engine whooshes and electronic whistles folding into each other against a backdrop that sounds like a distant choir. For tonight's performance, using four small tape players and some contact mikes, he'll blend looped field recordings of fire, water, wind, and stones with the ringing of a bowed brass bowl. Jason Soliday and the trio of Jason Roebke, Guillermo Gregorio, and Brian Labycz open. On Sunday, May 13, Boyd performs live on the WLUW radio show Something Else, at 88.7 FM or wluw.org from 10 PM till 2 AM.
    - Bill Meyer
    8 PM, Elastic, 2830 N. Milwaukee, 773-772-3616.

I am in talks at the moment to perform in Atlanta and NYC this summer as well.
Looks to be a busy year!
be seeing you.
mykel
