A 15 songs mix CD. curated by Frank Orrall.
A unique release— 2 new Poi Dog Pondering songs, 2 remixes, and a curated selection of sonic adventures from my various musical aliases— Poi Dog Pondering, Mourning Doves international, Soft Explosion, 8fatfat8, & Palm Fabric Orchestra All wrapped up in a CD sampler mix of releases from my record label, PLATE TECTONIC MUSIC. New music / deep cuts.
I believe in the CD (Compact Disc). It gives musical artists their own affordable means of production. They can put out their own records and remain independent. Digital tech moguls basically stole our music, they rent it at a fraction, to sell their platform. I believe in vinyl, but it is often cost prohibitive. The CD gives us autonomy & freedom, and quality audio and physical artwork.
This new release is a CD only release. This release is a unique approach. It is a double A side release of 2 new Poi Dog Pondering songs, And a PDP remix, and a Mourning Doves remix, All wrapped up in a curated sampler of songs from the record label I have ran for 32 years here in Chicago; PLATE TECTONIC MUSIC.
