Hello again,

Here is an update of activities. 

1. Just finished a remix for the excellent Vancouver band Yellowthief. Working on cover art as well for a 7" release. Remix number 3 in a series of more. 

2. Leaving for Marfa, Texas on Thursday. I'll be performing solo at Ballroom Marfa on Friday Sept 30th at the opening of Autobody. If you reading this are anywhere near Marfa then please journey out. I will be making a small run of compilation CD-r's for this trip.  

3. Many shows in the NYC area. I will be performing alongside drummer Mike Pride and sax player Jon Irabagon this tues Oct 4th at the Stone in NYC. Improv set of terror and endurance. On Oct 9th I will be performing a solo set opening for Extra Life at Glasslands in Brooklyn. Oct 14th I will be performing a short solo set and then a collaborative set with Chuck Bettis on a show with Zevious, Brown Angel, and Nick Millevoi at Bruar Falls in Brooklyn.

4. Coiled Malescence is out on LP and CD. I will begin selling copies via here next week. If you can't wait, the LP is available at safetymeeting.net and the Cd is available at slrec.blogspot.com . 

5. Krallice Diotima cassette release is out. It will probably be available here: damagerituals.com or here: krallice.bigcartel.com

6. Orthrelm just played at Colin Marston's studio in Queens. Our ten minute set consisted of one new song and one old unrecorded song. We will hopefully be recording said songs and releasing a 7" or CD something. Go here for photos of the night. justinav.info

7. Working on loads of new stuff. New Krallice songs, new chamber music, new solo recordings, new Orthrelm, new Oldest...

COILED MALESCENCE

Hello All. 

Pre-orders have started for the new Mick Barr LP "Coiled Malescence" over at www.safetymeeting.net so if interested go there. The official release date is September 13th. 

All copies of the LP will come with a letterpress insert of artwork. There will be a limited number of jackets which will also be letterpressed. The majority of the pressing will be normal printed jackets. 

The CD version will be released by Savage Land Records. It will contain bonus unreleased Ocrilim tracks. Heres the blog to look for that: http://slrec.blogspot.com/

I will have copies of both formats to sell here at some point in the near future. I will also have copies of the Ocrilim "Ment" LP as well as Orthrelm "OV" LP. 

Also, the Oldest LP reissue will be out sometime in November on Sleeping Giant Glossolalia and the CD reissue will be released by Crucial Blast. More on that later. 

Few things to go over with you people. 

First: I've got a few shows coming up:

-----August 5th at Death by Audio Brooklyn

---------Mick Barr, Vaz, Lichens, The Dreebs

-----August 24th at Zebulon Brooklyn

---------Barr/Shea/Dahl, Little Women

Second: There is a new Krallice EP out for free download. Tribute to Orphan's Brendan Majewski. Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?oshlih37w9nnzg8

Third: Free Krallice Flexi-disc record with latest issue of Decibel Magazine. We do a cover of Rorschach's Traditional. You can listen to it here: http://www.decibelmagazine.com/flexi-series/

Also, I just finished a remix for Vampillia from Japan. When it's released I will post about it. There's also a Bloody Panda remix I did coming out soon. But I've found that I like doing remixes. I add lots of guitar tracks and change the entire song. So, if you would like to commission me to do a remix for you, get in touch here: mithboth@yahoo.com 

Much more info on it's way.  new LPs/CDs, new bands, kickstarters, drawings, websites, classical musics...

Old Hound Time

Many things.

Orthrelm "comeback" shows were great. We played a new set twice in England and once in Germany. There will be more, but we aren't sure when and where. Probably a new recording at some point too. Taking it all slowly...

But here is a video from the Moers Festival: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VllnfBZ2030

New solo LP/CD "Coiled Malescence" is still on it's way. Kind of got sidetracked a bit by other things. More soon on that. 

Oldest will be releasing an LP of the previously released CD from a few months ago. It will be released on Sleeping Giant Glossolalia out of Denver Colorado. 

No word on string quartet performance. Working on some other ensemble pieces in the meantime. 

More soon.
