sotos

[Balor/SS1535]

An extremely indepth and exhaustively researched Spanish language article about Peter Sotos, with particular regard to his music/audio credited work, was published just recently on the Argentinian website Metacultura and can be found here:

Música - Pornografía: La faceta sonora de Peter Sotos (Google translate does an ample job rendering it into English)

The authors Matías Bragagnolo and Mauricio Tomassetti have succeeded very well with correlating his history and recorded work into a readable and mostly accurate chronological timeline, with indepth biographical information about closely (and loosely) related musical groups to Sotos. They've also done an amazing job with breaking down his audio collages, especially with the subjects featured in them and their histories.

I'm from Latin America and my first language is Spanish. I could help make an English translation if anyone is interested. In the meantime I recommend using DeepL as a translator instead which does a much better job.

An actual translation would be great!

I love doing translations so I'll try my best! If anyone else wants to help please consider PM'ing me.
edit: Sorry it's taking me a bit of time, I'll upload the article in a .pdf format on DocDroid once it's done.

Wondering what peoples impressions are / thoughts on Kee MacFarlane

Wondering what peoples impressions are / thoughts on Kee MacFarlane

I thought it was easier to follow than some of his other more recent writings, but it also felt rather meandering at parts (such as the weird aside involving Trump).  I get what Chip was saying about not wanting to edit Sotos in the pamphlet, but maybe some discretion could have been used in this case.

Overall, I should probably reread it.  It's certainly short enough that there is no excuse not to.

I just scanned Ingratitude, so you know where to find me if you want a link to it. More scans to come.

I'm not sure if it's even worth asking, but fuck it: I'm only a lowly college student, so I'd appreciate any little donations (just a few dollars) for my scanning efforts. It takes a great deal of time for me to sit down and scan the books, so a little money would go a long way to encourage me. A cup of coffee always comes in handy... ;)

That being said, I'm gonna be scanning the books for posterity anyway, so you can ask for a copy and tell me to scratch my taint.

Has anybody in Europe received their copy of the latest, yet? I have contacted NBB twice but am getting the impression I'm being ignored. I pre-ordered in december and am starting to get concerned.

Yes- he is just very behind with them

I just wanted to say you're all doing an inmense gratitude to all those interested in Sotos' books since they're so rare, expensive and hard to come by so I just wanted to thank you and I hope all of you guys give this guy some appreciation for the work he's done at digitally preserving Sotos' books. One book in particular I'd love to see scanned is 1. Obviates: Predicate, Show Adult (2004-2006), or either Predicate and Show Adult individually. Those two seem really interesting books by Sotos' so if anyone has them for sale please PM me and I'll gladly buy them.

Thank you so much for the kind words and support!

As for Obviates, I just purchased a copy along with the Maunz collaboration, so expect scans of those soon. ;)

That's awesome! Thank you so much for all your hard work. I hope you get donations for this, you really deserve it.

I've just finished scanning Pure Filth and Mine. (Pure Filth took a fucking while--three hours at least!) As before, reach out if you would like the and/all of the scans. I've accumulated enough to make a folder of all the scans that I have (that includes scans that I did not make myself), so I'm gonna start sharing that with people instead of the individual books.

I don't know if the migration of those files that I have already shared will render the links that I've been sharing broken, so ask me for a link to the folder if they are.

Obviates is up next! I also have the Maunz/Sotos book now, and it's absolutely gorgeous. I'm not sure if a scan will really do it justice, but I'll obviously still make one. That being said, if you can find a copy, I highly recommend picking it up. The quality is top-notch.

I wanted Desistance so bad since I'm a huge fan of Antoine d'Agata's works. But it's okay, I'm sure I'll find another copy on sale next time.

His posting that book reminded me of d'Agata---so I finally spent some time researching him, and I like his work a lot from what I see.  I just ordered a copy of Acephale earlier today.  Favorite works/books by him?
