Back in 2015, TXT released its first CD compilation album entitled, "Tensegrity" containing the artists: Milieu, Monologue, Ishq, Darren Harper, Lackluster, Porya Hatami & Lee Anthony Norris, Solipsism and Wil Bolton.
Fully remastered and now in HD audio on Bandcamp, "Tensegrity" is available as a free / name your price digital download.
A structural term defining isolated components under tension that do not touch each other... Now, in 2020, this word takes on a whole new meaning for how we are living our daily lives. As always, we cannot thank you enough for continuing to support the label through these difficult times.
And while we are all in lockdown and unable to send CDs at the moment, you can use the code "isolation50" to get yourself 50% off any other album
Not sure of best place to put this, but I'll try here:
Jon Abbey of Erstwhile Records, a leading presence in the experimental music community, has also curated a series of festivals over the years named AMPLIFY. With the ongoing situation, he's started a new online version called AMPLIFY 2020: quarantine, curating brand new tracks from dozens of experimental musicians. They're all offered for free download and streaming, but donations to the individual musicians is highly encouraged. Loads of days-old recordings being uploaded frequently, check it out:
Thanks again to @Brighternow and @Doofy for bringing the Temporary Residence NYP series to our attention. Some really great albums again on this week's list.
Introducing Pay What You Can: A new Temporary Residence Ltd album offered as Pay What You Want on Bandcamp every day until a vaccine is discovered for COVID-19. Today's album is by Eluvium: eluvium.bandcamp.com/album/pianoworks

20% off on all our releases, that includes CDs, vinyls, digital downloads and the packs with code poppy20

Thanks for the heads-up, I just wanted to bump this one up. More generous folks sharing their quarantine experience for free. AMPLIFY 2020
PS - more penguins, that has to be a good sign.
It's a significant artistic effort, for sure. Over 20 hours of music and counting, like, he's speculating 200-odd submissions! It's hard to keep up!
Penguin emblem was courtesy of Yuko Zama, creator of the wonderful new-music/classical label https://elsewheremusic.bandcamp.com/ and frequent Erstwhile designer (and Jon's wife).
John Ellis has a new jazz release (perhaps for Earth day?) available on Bancamp as NYP: (there is also an "alternate takes" version of several tracks - click the artist name to go to his page. It is also NYP). John also has another new release out, "The Ice Siren" (not NYP, though), which was featured by @jonahpwll in his most recent "Best Jazz on Bandcamp" feature.
I've been spending a bit of money on my own to keep this [festival] going, and the last thing I want is to take any money away from the musicians, but of course I have bills to pay also.
so I just put the entire Erst catalog, physical and digital both, on sale for 20 percent off at Bandcamp with the code "AMPLIFY". please support if you can, and if you are enjoying this festival, I guarantee you will find no shortage of life-altering sounds there.
BTW - anyone aware of any other digital music sales listing resources? I'm surprised there aren't more sites that update about such discounts. Would be nice if Bandcamp had a 'now on sale' page of their own.
This week I am featuring what I consider (and why my opinion on this is more meaningful, or valid, I honestly don't know) one of the best records I have ever made. Well, at least one of my favorites. Probably because it was my very first release on a label of size, is very nostalgic for me, and put me on the map, so to speak: PUSHING THE ENVELOPE
Recorded in the old, cavernous Radio City Music Hall studios by Don Hunerberg, on like the 30th floor of that landmark building. I would be going in the door with the Rockettes— they to try and kick their legs up to exactly the same height, me to take the elevator up and try to get my music on, yes—TAPE.
Featuring my band at the time: my old partners Wayne Horvitz on piano, Tom Varner on french horn, Marty Ehrlich on tenor sax and Dave Hofstra on bass (with a cameo by my man Lindsey Horner).
"The intuitive rightness of every improvisation makes Pushing the Envelope one of the finest releases by a New York artist in 1987." THE VILLAGE VOICE
PLUS, for my Bandcamp fans, I am offering 50% off on the record I made just before this one, where I got the name for many incarnations of this instrumentation, BUMP THE RENAISSANCE. This record features the sax powerhouse Lenny Pickett, at that time new in town, fresh off the west coast with Tower of Power, and who went on to spend many years in, and then leading, the SNL Band. Plus, check the dude on the cover— ROBERT Previte, you dig?

- "This track in many ways defined my entire world view. In
1987, I had just signed with Gramavision and this was my first
release.I was full of hope and looking straight ahead,this tune pointing
me to the future. Recorded at the now defunct Radio City Studio by Don
Hunerberg and built on a single expanding phrase on a C7 chord, I turned
the band roles around, made the horns and the bass the drummer, the
drums the background horns,and then let my great friend Wayne Horvitz
loose on piano to rummage, float, stab, and slide through, around, above
and beyond it as he chose. One of the greatest solos anyone has ever
taken on any of my records.
No, scratch that. The greatest, period.
again, from somewhere: “Pushing
the Envelope,” Previte’s first release of a five record deal with
Gramavision Records, was released in 1987. This record is the
culmination of Previte’s early style, writing for two horns, piano, bass
and drums. This record put him squarely in the camp of the handful of
original writers working with a traditional jazz instrumentation. This
record, however, stood the idea of what jazz writing was supposed to be
on it’s head. The Village Voice—"The intuitive rightness of every
improvisation makes Pushing the Envelope one of the finest releases by a

In its original form, Adrift is a collection of 4 pieces of endless music presented as a mobile application. The application uses structured random selection to continuously play the discreet musical components with no beginning or end. The pieces were conceived as aural backdrops, seascapes of sound in which the listener is encouraged to drift in and out of. Each of the four pieces is named after an infamous ghost ship. Like the ships themselves, the music is adrift at sea, wandering with the tides, following the swells of the waves, aimless and lost.
These four linear renders of the music from the Adrift application represent a singular version of each of the pieces and are presented here as free downloads.
Edition Records is celebrating its 12th birthday by offering a 25% discount today and tomorrow (April 28 & 29). But that ends before Friday's all money to musicians day. Use code Edition12.
^^^ Beat me to it @yarjazz ! But good news all around - thanks.
Well, so far there is not much up - just 7 albums. The Lioness is good, especially, and would be worth a download even at full-price (but I'll be waiting until Friday).
