Release Three: THE FLORIDA BAR CLE AUDIOCASSETTE

This week, I put together an hour of samples, glitches and whale sounds for a cassette EP release that will be available at the International Noise Conference in Miami.  I also made a 5 minute condensed version.



There's a struggle in my mind between two ways of producing art, and noise in particular: one is making a few things with extreme polish, the other is creating hours upon hours of material every day.  Many noise artists release every rehearsal and hour of field recording as its own separate album, creating a discography that is incredibly daunting but all sounds basically the same.  I'm on the exact opposite end of the spectrum, where every six months I dribble out a tiny bit of art that a handful of people are impressed with for a little bit before their attention is diverted to someone more reliable.  This weekly experiment is a concerted effort to force myself to fix that problem.  To that end I've decided that I really should release hours upon hours of horrible, unlistenable material, but also create shorter "overture" pieces of just a few minutes of horrible, unlistenable material.

The full hour long version is under the cut.

Release Two: Landscapes

This is a mask that I made last month, so it doesn't count as an item for this blog, but these photos of it that I just took do.  There are 11 more below the cut.  I should find a better way of displaying images on this page.

Release One: This Site

Welcome to Sicariid Industries.

Every week, a new thing will be posted here.  It might be digital, it might be physical, it might be metaphysical, it might be informative, intangible, or invaluable, but I'll probably let you buy it if you want.  I don't know what it will be, but after a few months I hope a pattern of data will emerge and we can discover the sorts of things that a place called Sicariid Industries might make.

There will also be other things posted here, hopefully frequently, like updates on interesting spiders found on the internet, or various ideas that can't be developed at the moment but hopefully someone else will want to steal, or many other things, or possibly none of those things.  After 52 weeks of research, we should be able to draw a strong conclusion regarding the sorts of things a person like me would post on a blog like this.

To start things off, I've hidden a spider beneath the break.
