WHERE ON EARTH IS STARR PARTY?

How should I know?

I've been doing university things and not noise things. Unfortunate, probably a bad call, but here I am. That being said, I am doing a split with Ragk from....I don't know where he's from, but he's cool, and I'm doing a split with him. I'm also doing a lot of noisecore related things, playing in a band called Fuckworld (watch out for an upcoming split on that front, with Jx Nahash's project Uv Ursa Spr), and curating a noisecore compilation. Considering mixing up my pedal setup and all that stuff. Start new, whatever. I will see what I come up with for this split and it may be indicative of where this project goes sonically in the future. Always noise, but nothing past that. Fuck off and live.

STARR PARTY?

Where am I/Where Have I Been

It has been too long. I have been focusing on other projects, and I've been on tour(s) with various bands for the past two and a half weeks. Thus, I have been unable to work on SP material, and things have been slow in this regard. Naturally. I hope to finish another release of some kind before I move to toronto on august 25th. As for new material, I have a track called "think straight" on Julien's new comp, "Synaptic Static". It can be heard at http://staticpark.bandcamp.com/album/static-park-presents-synaptic-static-compilation . I'm very honored to appear on this comp, both in that Julien asked me and that I get to appear next to artists such as Angel of Mercy and Poete Maudit. I hope to be more active in noise again in the coming days and weeks, we'll see how that goes. Staying stoked, one day at a time.

Sled in two days/HNWALTZ

MY SLED SHOW IS IN TWO DAYS! I'm opening for Oneohtrix Point fucking Never and Sarah Davachi. Couldn't be more stoked. I've fully prepared my set, should be interesting, I'm looking forward to finding out what people's reactions are/will be. As for merch, I will have copies of the 4 way split as well as copies of the health//sanity release. I'll also have copies of Harsh Noise Waltz, the comp that I curated, which became available digitally on aught void a few days ago. You should check it out, as there are many amazing tracks from many amazing artists. Get stoked!

health//sanity

So the c60 tape that i said was going to be called asceticism turned out to be totally different than i thought it was going to be. thus i've renamed it "health//sanity". Three tracks per side, approximately sixty minutes of drone, hnw and the like. It is available for free/pwyw download on my bandcamp, let me know what you think about it. Gearing up for the sled show, getting pretty stoked, it's going to rule. The h//s tapes, as well as the HNW comp, will constitute my "merchandise" for that event. Watching out, watching out, watching out.

and it goes on and on and on

Yup! I'm still here. Still selling fake doors. Here's the news:

- I did a netsplit with Black Matter Phantasm and Dao de Noize, on Nahash Atrym Productions out of France. Three long harsh noise walls. My track is called "Employees and Consumers", and it won't be featured on my personal bandcamp, so check it out on the label's page. The split can be heard here: http://nahshatrymproductions.bandcamp.com/album/starr-party-black-matter-phantasm-dao-de-noize-untitled-split . This is one of my recent forays into the HNW area, and I love it, and will continue to do it. On that note, I also recommend that you check out the split between Angel of Mercy and BMP, as it rules. That can be heard here: http://nahshatrymproductions.bandcamp.com/album/angel-of-mercy-black-matter-phantasm-untitled-split .

- I'm working on a C60 tape, called "Asceticism". 60 minutes of hyper minimalist tape manipulation and field recordings. Not harsh. Sorry. Will be available in time for my sled set.

- The aforementioned Harsh Noise Waltz comp that I'm curating will also be ready in time for the sled show (the almighty willing). Looking to be a really sweet compilation, get excited (actually) for this one. Will post details when I feel like it. Watch the skies.

Aaaand that's all I can think of for the time being. This project isn't going anywhere, both in that I'm still doing it and nobody cares. Thanks for reading, watch out, stay tuned.

Here's a photo of the setup I'll be using for the National Drone Day show. A keyboard, a laptop, four pedals. Not pictured: two practice amps.

UPDATES!

A fair few things have happened! Perhaps most importantly or noteworthy, I will be playing Calgary's Sled Island Festival this year. I'm extremely stoked that they want me to be a part of it, and I hope to produce an exciting set. Check out this! http://www.sledisland.com/2014/starr-party

Also, I'm playing a Calgary show for National Drone Day at Oolong tea house in Calgary. This will be a quieter, non-abrasive show, and I'll be playing some introspective drones. Stoked to be playing with all my pals (Pinery, Moss Harvest, downfuckinghill, coma cult, and pedro monkeyfinger). It should be an amazing time!

I should also announce that I'm doing a split with Poete Maudit (sorry man, I can't find an accent) from Michigan. My side can be heard here: http://starrparty.bandcamp.com/album/to-my-bed-for-my-gods-have-left-me-split-with-po-te-maudit and his side can be heard here: http://poete-maudit.bandcamp.com/album/the-conqueror-worm-for-a-split-with-starr-party . Expect an edition of 20 tapes, self released. Nobody get stoked, don't worry.

Lastly, I am curating a HNW compilation for the great AUGHT VOID called Harsh Noise Waltz. I will have a song on it (called "sick of your blithe bullshit"), and a bunch of other fantastic artists will as well. If you'd like to be a part of it, send me an email at animaltownhall@gmail.com, and we can figure it out from there. Stoked!
