recent releases

Just a quick update on some albums that have come out recently.

James Bailey and I have a collaborative track on the "Bandcamp 200" various artists album put out by Neal Retke to mark his 200th release on the Bandcamp platform! Thirty-nine tracks in total with many familiar names from Retke's other compilations and the netlabel scene in general + a few old-timers like me! "Bandcamp 200" was released on July 14, 2025.

I have a solo Songs of the New Erotics track on a recent Institute For Alien Research comp called "Participatory Universe". Some very nice material on this 15-track compilation. "Participatory Universe" was released on July 28, 2025.

Also happy to announce the reissue of irr. app. (ext.)'s "Aspiring To An Empty Gesture, Volume 1"! This collection of irr. app. (ext.) live tracks was originally released as a CD-R in 2008 on Matt's own errata in excelsis label (Matt Waldron, a.k.a. irr. app. (ext.), in case you didn't know) in an edition of 100. To my knowledge it has not been available since then in any form, so I am very pleased to see it appear recently as a digital album on Bandcamp! The Recordists (myself and S.Higgins) appear on all of the Toronto-recorded tracks (including a rollicking rendition of Nurse With Wound's "Two Golden Microphones" featuring me on noise guitar, the lovely and talented Ms. Higgins on lead vocals, and a bemused Steven Stapleton on amplified objects and cookie sheet). "Aspiring To An Empty Gesture, Volume 1" was reissued on Aug. 1, 2025.
