Still Reunion Noise Schematic

 

I used to make noise in a metal band called Still, and we recently had a reunion show at the Aquarium in Fargo. Here's the schematic for my setup. First section has a Bastl Kastle 1.5 being fed into a Softpop and then through a RE20 Space Echo, basically making spacey Hawkwind-ish kinda sounds. Second section is the Rucci Bent Time Delay through Digitech Super Flange, DOD Death Metal, Alesis MicroGate and a D-Seed II delay (on the Tape setting), making harsh noise that gets kind of rounded off by the D-Seed. Third section is Microgranny through A/B/Y box into Boss MetalZone, Boss Super Shifter and DD3, alternating between playing samples and making a pitch shifted mess of the bass player.

Human Issue 2

 

Well I finished up Human Issue 2 in time for Luke Safely's birthday, as a gift to him, after having made him read the first two drafts of the story, which were significantly longer.
This issue is only one story rather than several, and is inspired by a series of dreams that I have had since some time in the 2010s--I can't pin down exactly when they started, which is the seed that grew the story. Hopefully it will make sense when you read it. 
To obtain a copy you can email edwinpmanchester via gmail and we'll work it out, I'm charging 5 bucks to put it in a person's hand and 6 to mail it.
