TAKAHASHI’S SHELLFISH CONCERN

“Drum & Bass : And The Horse You Rode In On”
“Drum & Bass” began as a mutual admiration. PA and I shared a stage in 2008 and after a few e-mails decided to meet up and ‘have a session’. I showed up with my ‘drums’ (using the term loosely) and PA setup his 6-string fretless bass + Laptop setup.
What followed spanned more textures, genres, and sound-worlds than I can describe, but the terms textural laptop-scapes, to grimy stutter-hop, to some smooth jazz
The CD comes in a hand silk-screened cardboard package with all artwork done by Angela Guyton.
Hand-made version for £6.
THE SANS OF GILBERT
Recorded at the end of 2008 “The Sans of Gilbert” is TSC’s first release. It is a studio recording involving three improvising musicians, and one improvising artist recorded with nearly as many cameras as mics. The music is completely improvised, as are the visuals, but the two inform and affect each other.
Hand-made double CD/DVD Release, each one being unique.

The Beatles White Album is the culmination of several years worth of relatively independent projects, recordings, compositions, and improvisations. Tracks range from a solo prepared piano improvisation, to a through composed guitar trio, to a plagiarized sound collage, to data file to sound noisefest, to a CD skipping rendition of a Bach Prelude.
Hand-made version available for £4.
Jew Point Owe is the answer to the timeless question. That is, if the timeless question is "What do you get when you juxtapose (not so) simple folk songs with electronic dysfunction?".
Over a year in the making, Jew Point Owe began as a series of folk songs, each with a compositional twist, to serve as 'lead sheets' to be interpreted. True to form, each one was recorded with unique instrumentation, and approached differently. The electronic half comes from laptop/DIY electronics improvisations created to counterbalance the acoustic nature of the initial songs.
The end product represents the background music at a social mixer that no one wanted to go to, but can't seem to find a way out of. The fire exit is blockaded shut, but the punch is spiked, so drink up.
The physical release is also a unique artifact, each one being a limited edition hand-made, hard cover book made by Rodrigo Constanzo with the scores to the acoustic pieces inside, along with illustrations by Angela Guyton.
Limited edition, hand-made, hardcover book version available for £10. Also available as flexi-pay download.

What if we could use the monsters of our society, the irredeemable and unrepentant psychopaths, just like puppets to kill off enemies of the state? What if you woke up with almost no memory of who you are in the body of such a person--a blunt instrument of a faceless government in the skin of a remorseless mass murderer? Billy Slater, a displaced agent finds himself stuck in the body of an infamous serial killer. Now fighting for dominance with the mind of the venomous Psycho Jack Kreiger and hounded by his shadowy employers, Billy begins to unravel a conspiracy far deeper than he realized...and a power too terrible for any one mind--or body--to wield.

Each performance, a work of art is created. If you attend the performance and wish to purchase the work, it is available at a price of £50, as is, still stretched on the frame for you to transport as you wish.
However, if the work is not sold, it makes its way here...
After each performance I dismount the canvas from the wooden frame that it is stretched on (because these paintings do not fit in a car of normal proportions). So, you can purchase the “free-flowing” canvas (which you can roll up and just take with you), or for a fee you can get it delivered and stretched in your home.
£70 - Painting
£30* - Optional Delivery+Stretching

This delightful little gem that merges archeology and pornography.
Angela Guyton and Rodrigo Constanzo birthed the concept somewhere between Tallahassee and Miami in the Summer of 2006, but not until 2009 did it manifest itself into a black & white, 21 page, A6 comic.
Note: Its creators are fully open to the idea of an erotic re-imagining for the big screen. Angelina, we’re looking at you for this.

A DANIMATION
Created by Angela Guyton, this black and white animated short which is both poorly drawn and poorly animated, but which PERFECTLY represents our friend Dan.
This animation is made up of 2,000 hand drawn pages that were them assembled at 10 frames per second, that all adds up to around 4mins. of pure joy.
Sound by Rodrigo Constanzo.
I AM YOUR DENSITY is a composition written for a group of improvisers. It is loud. It is noisy. It is long.
The instrumentation ranges from voice, to didgeridoo; from circuit-bent drum machine, to acoustic drums, all manners of ruckus are celebrated.
The CD comes in a DVD case, with the graphic score included as a DVD booklet.
Hand-made version for £4.
