Hello everyone! Sorry I've been somewhat absent from the Cottage, things have been a little hectic lately. I've got a couple of news items for those who may be interested.
1) The latest episode of my current radio art project "The Long Play" went up on Mixcloud at the end of Sept. And here it is...
2) I recently performed at the Audiopollination series here in Toronto. Really great sets from everyone involved and I was very happy with my collab with local artist Mira Martin-Gray and touring artist (from Italy) Paolo Gaiba Riva. Video documentation of all four sets that night are up on the Audiopollination website. My set is the first but do check out the other sets, they are all quite enjoyable!

On June 24th, I made a collaborative audio/video recording (via Skype) with my old pal tENTATIVELY a cONVENIENCE. This was part of a series of collaborations tENT has been doing with friends, either in-person or via internet. Even though tENT and I have known each other for several decades, this was the first time we collaborated artistically! We were both quite pleased with the results. tENT has posted the video to his Youtube channel and Archive.org. Have a look and a listen:
We got good quality audio recordings of this jam, so I am toying with the idea of mixing/mastering it and releasing it in some form. I'll keep you posted.
Be sure to check out tENT's other duo recordings...and, while you're at it, everything else on his Youtube channel - W.A.Davison Recordism
Friday the 13th this month worked out pretty well for me! Not one but TWO various artist compilations were released that day with my art gracing the covers! The first we all know about - "Electronic Cottage Compilation 004"! The other one came from Neal D. Retke's panpanpanaviandistresscall label. "It's Not Me, It's You" features 17 artists doing cover versions of tracks from the {AN} Eel Soundcloud page. My input includes the title, cover art, and track #2 which is my cover version of Neal's cover version of "Endless Blockades For The Pussyfooter" by Japanese hardcore band G.I.S.M.
You may notice some other Electronic Cottage friends on this album as well! The compilation is available to be streamed or purchased at Bandcamp I have some work in the most recent edition of the Dada journal Maintenant from Three Rooms Press. Here's a photo of Baron Brainscapes perusing the edition: Copies may be purchased from Three Rooms Press at this link - http://threeroomspress.com/product/maintenant-12-contemporary-dada-art-writing/

www.recordism.com I have a collaborative track with Neal D. Retke on his latest album of collaborations "A Poetry of Sound ( Vol ??? )". The album consists solely of Neal's vocal renditions of texts which he solicited from a number of people in his network. The results are astounding, confounding, and hilarious, often at the same time! Collaborators include: The Psycho Paranoid Flower Power Electro Shit Song Company, Paul Sturm, Awkward Geisha, Carol Sandin Cooley, Piotr Szreniawski, Matt Jasper, G.X. Jupitter-Larsen, Qkcofse, Stephanie Vela Anderson, Volodymyr Bilyk, Shafer Powell, Nicholas M. Taylor, Nico Vassilakis, Peter Wullen, Christian Eason, Lezet, Sacha Archer, Wilfried Hanrath, and Ben Presto, as well as several members of the EC community - John M. Bennett, David Nadeau, Thomas Park, Frank Audiffret, W.A.Davison (me!), and, of course, {AN} EeL himself (Neal D. Retke). You can have a listen to the album on Bandcamp. If you'd like to own the album, you'll have to become a "subscriber" since this is a "subscriber only" edition. I don't know what that means, exactly. You'll have to get in touch with Mr. Retke to find out how one becomes a subscriber.
