With the 7" lathe series coming to a conclusion (almost two years after it was launched, cough cough) I figured a 10" lathe series made total sense.
the participants are as follows:
evicshen
relay for death
aaron dilloway
mv carbon
olivia block and adam sonderberg
vertonen
there will be 25 numbered copies of each release, with 19 available for sale.
each release will:
1) come with supplemental, complementary embellishments from each artist (be it audio, video, textural, or combinations thereof)
2) be signed by the artist, and
3) have packaging designed (and in some cases created) by the artist.
as with any ballast release, reflecting the artist's vision and intention is the umbrella under which I operate.
each release will be priced at $50.
however, there is a prepaid subscription option of all six for $222, which bring the price down to $37 ea (within the US, shipping included).
I am open to discussing payment plans so as not to overwhelm anyone's bank account.
Please contact me at
vertonen@earthlink.net before arranging payment: I absolutely don't want to oversubscribe.
if you are outside of the US, I want to avoid astronomically horrendous shipping costs. most folks who have ordered from overseas have worked out shipping plans with larger orders from other labels in the US, and I'm glad to keep on that path.
last but not least, from the 7" lathe lessons learned department, this series is operating on a much more clearly explicit timeframe.
to wit, I asked all artists to provide their lathe audio to me by April 15, and with the exception of one artist (who is on tour in europe), everyone is slated to do so. which means the prospect of this series being completed in the calendar year is much stronger.
also, to that end, my lathe is already in hand (and will be ready to ship april 15), and the audio for olivia block and adam sonderberg is in hand and should be heading to the cutting facility by april 15.
thanks,
blake
