NSO005 -- N Colyar P "Chameleon Glow" C30/ Little Howlin' Wolf and N Colyar P Tour Update

I just numbered my new tape for the tour--  new guitar/ electronics improvisations with drones and careful high end splashes, and low end oscillations of feedback. First, a 12 minute improvisation with some found audio put in, then some poetry. Side B is a composition put together by improvisations and editing. Handmade cases as always and dubbed on purple chrome C30s. 50 copies total. Listen to one of the sides here.  ...So I'm excited for the tour, and feel unworthy of traveling with Little Howlin' Wolf -- look at the last post for the dates. It's gonna be good. We are also looking for someone to play with in SLC on 11-24, get to ncolyarp@gmail.com if you're down or know anything. See you soon...

Tour and Tapes


So I just went on a ten day, Mid-West tour with my friend Tim who brought along his fantastic synth/samples project Wish Fulfillment. Check him out here . Here's one of my sets I just finished mixing, it's from Kansas City -- (N Colyar P live @ SGAB, Kansas City, MO 2-4-2013). We also brought along 50 copies of a split C30 encased in the same cardboard design GSA and I used for their tape, only with the above, individually water-colored art layout on the outside. Here's an excerpt from my side dubbed "Thoughts of Trees." I also have about 20 copies of new work of mine (NSO004) in stock called Maybe Looking in the Mirror. It's a C40 and contains 5 pieces, mostly improvised. It's like Rippled only I am using more "noise" sounds as a means to achieve an ambient end -- which I'm excited about seeing what direction that takes in the future. Here's a jam from that tape called "Ambidextrous," and if you want to grip anything, get to me at ncolyarp@gmail.com . Thanks.

NSO 003 -- Giant Squid Autopsy


New tape on nso by Giant Squid Autopsy will be available at their shows-- C40 of Weird improv jams of acoustic guitar and keyboards lost in noise with obo and various other reeds and winds. Very free flowing in a non-ambient sense, occasional abrupt changes from dissonant rockiness to refrains of clear open smoothness. Trippy release show including sound and performance art on Friday, Dec 7th at Big Forever in Chicago, 1430 N Washtenaw. More info on the event here-- http://www.facebook.com/events/445836615472623/ . Contact GSA here--
giantsquid.autopsy@facebook.com . Sleeve design is a collaboration between GSA & NSO.   Here's an excerpt. See u Dec. 7th!
