Podcast part 2 of the Vampire's Ball for January 22, 2011.


This week's post-show mix CD was Mix CD 8.


And now for my weekly end notes:

You can now subscribe to the Vampire's Ball on iTunes. Just search for "CiTR" and you'll find The Vampire's Ball listed along with 20 or so other cool shows here on CiTR Radio.

Or grab the podcast off of this page:

Podcast page for the Vampire's Ball.

You can email requests and comments to thevampiresball@gmail.com. You can also send me MP3 links if your stuff fits the show, or for old fashioned CD submissions, those can either be mailed to my post office box (see sidebar) or dropped off at CiTR Radio (or mailed c/o CiTR Radio. The address is in the sidebar of this blog.)

Be aware that things are hectic and it can take a good long while before I get a chance to listen.

There's a Facebook group for the Vampire's Ball.

Likewise, there is also a MySpace page for the Vampire's Ball on CiTR.

As always, thanks for listening. Enjoy the show.

24 Hours of Radio Art: The Maqlu Tarot

Today at noon PST I did an hour long set on CiTR's annual 24 Hours of Radio Art, in which I debuted my series of short compositions, The Maqlu Tarot.

22 short compositions loosely inspired from meditating on the 22 cards of the Major Arcana of the Tarot, designed to be played at random to see what it evokes.

Sonically it ranges from mutilated spoken word and distorted guitar to lovely little MIDI brass compositions to carefully arranged birdsong samples that almost sound plausibly natural to pseudo-club 1990s industrial.

The Maqlu Tarot is available as a free download from my website (a .zip of all 22 MP3s) or you can grab individual tracks off my last.fm profile.

This is the order in which they were played on 24 Hours of Radio Art. The randomization was set by putting the tracks on shuffle through an iTunes playlist.

XVI TEMPERANCE
VII THE CHARIOT
I THE MAGUS
II THE PRIESTESS
VI THE LOVERS
XVII THE STAR
XIX THE SUN
IX THE HERMIT
IV THE EMPEROR
XI JUSTICE
V THE HIEROPHANT
XV THE DEVIL
III EMPRESS
0 THE FOOL
XVIII THE MOON
VIII STRENGTH
XX JUDGEMENT
XII THE HANGED MAN
XIV TEMPERANCE
XVI THE TOWER
X THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE
XXI THE UNIVERSE

Podcast of my timeslot on 24 Hours of Radio Art.

Back on-air on Friday

After an imposed two-week hiatus due to the holidays, the Vampire's Ball returns to the airwaves on CiTR Radio this Friday January 7th at midnight.

Guests for the show will be kAINE D3l4y of Left Spine Down (and possibly Jeremy Inkel as well) and Kevvy Mental of Fake Shark Real Zombie chatting about their show at the Rickshaw Theatre with NinjaSpy and the Wrecktals on January 14th. We'll also be spinning all sorts of random weirdness.

See ya then!

New date for Maqlu @ the Media Club

The show that had been scheduled for tonight was postponed due to illness, it will now take place on Wednesday February 2nd. Location and line-up is still the same, for more info check out the Facebook event here:

Maqlu + Frederick + Friday Mortimer & the Beautiful Monsters @ the Media Club, February 2nd

Or if you prefer, it's also listed on last.fm here: Maqlu @ the Media Club, last.fm listing

Artists:

Maqlu

Frederick

Friday Mortimer & the Beautiful Monsters

Maqlu show postponed

Since I know I mentioned this show ad nauseum in my concert listings for the last couple months, and since I won't be on-air again til after it was supposed to happen, I figure I'd best mention that the Maqlu/Frederick/Friday Mortimer & the Beautiful Monsters show that was supposed to happen Wednesday January 5th at the Media Club in Vancouver has been postponed due to illness, waiting to hear what the make-up date will be.
