psy·che·del·ic drone noise improv freak-outs..... looking for other core members to begin spending time conspiring together

Looking to start a collective of psy·che·del·ic musicians to grow to love each other, but I cannot handle anything but monogamous close companionship for my contribution. So this isn't a sex band, unless y'all can change me.....good luck....I wish I could do that.... I cannot share my secrets with anyone more than one or I will loose my mind.

Taking inspiration from the occult, black metal, ritual, drone, improv, mysticism, krautrock, minimalism , outer space, dirt, water. rock, soft things

KEY:: I would prefer to play with as many female musicians as I can. Also: multi-instrumentalists is awesome even if one is synth and one is junk metal , or one is just floor toms and the other is field recordings and tape ageing/manipulation. ALL WOULD BE VERY OPEN TO JOIN IN.

I despise that I cannot see it enough. EVER. I am a very ugly, strange, white, longhaired, dirty, shitty tattoos, passionate, loving, <what most deem us I guess is crusty-hippies????> musician and crafter of physical media and believe in physical media with all my heart. Namely that thinks mostly about tape and tone textures.

I am literally dieing not being a part of a very special/ sacred/ loving/ weird/ fucking living in the truth 100% of the time people to form a community around my total vision I can see right now.

Its been a long dream, but I've been to much of a loner for that......NOW, I am ready.

I already do my own solo drone/ ambient/ occultic/ ritual/ noise project...all and only cassette tapes and I run a little micro-label of which I want to release all this from. I am growing in my contacts from around the world and want to experience more with others....playing that is....I want to start tomorrow I am that serious...... I want to pair my alone work with an improv collective so badly like asap. When I am ready, I am ready.

still reorganizing.....thank you for all interests

Hey friends....still working up my new brews to release upon the outsider of the outsiders..(gonna have a summer package deal of multiple releases here very soon) ..  hang in there..... One quick note....when I can and hopefully soon almost 99% of my communication with outside world is moving here to focus as Shrouded Recordings grows.......SBTDOH is not at all the same thing as S. R. or S. R. Z.   but it is the same dude..... But I am gonna pull back from bandcamp and most things and try to deal directly with anyone who wants anything.   hopefully making it more of a postivie ideal experience with interactions and other rad stuff.

growth, change, reflection, hope.... utter fucking darkness

some very important and awesome changes are coming very soon to shrouded recordings.  very excited for the summer releases and what the reorganization process is shaping up with the council of 48. Once a verdict is handed down, actions will be taken.  

In brief here are a couple teaser photos of a couple releases that will be available most likely August 1rst.   Thank you for the loyal support of my artifacts.  Everyone matters

why make tapes?

So I posted this on a form topic about different types of releases....mostly an anti-tape thread.... I like my response so I decided to post it because I believe this is an important issue. I would love to dialog with any thoughtful person on this...

----------------------------------------------------

good cassettes are like life. if there is deterioration from use. that to me is a good thing. (it shows love and a tape worth investing yourself in for hours/days)  plus the degrading may have been started by the artist who never 'wanted' it to sound digital (more perfect lets say...) at all....

 I like the sounds that are crumbling apart just like this world and life as you get older. So sometimes you buy 2 copies and don't open one? (just an option to preserve a tape for many years with no deterioration??)

 I will die and my son will most likely get my collection of music which is a gigantically variations of records, tapes and cds. I want to get the music and I do prefer tapes now a days, I will get whatever is available. Music is the only thing I have spent money on since grade school *25 or so years??...

And as a producer of tapes only and as I run a zine that only has cassette tape reviews currently, I am allowed access to such more music based on a low income. Also, I get to hear lo-fi music from around the world on very small runs. Somehow a cd or cdr never gives any great feelings like they do.

And running a cassette tape only label is fun. I can do it without massive debt. I can also have creative control over everything. And some recordings you would never want to hear 'digitally,' they massively loose their charm.

Sure it would be rad to only put out vinyl. But that is not economically feasible and would just make it hard to get a tiny labels music 'out there' both for label and artist. I used to be a huge vinyl guy. But has become so hard for someone on a 'musicians' budget, or someone who does not make enough to spent $200- $300 on records every paycheck....

 But there is so much music I only want to hear from the artist by ordering their tape, rather than listening to on bandcamp. or any other digital option. (and I give away all the digital copies for this reason, I only charge for a tape because I spend a lot of time producing the whole release, music, art, what kind of packaging etc...

Just some thoughts. I admire your passion. that is great sometimes it just comes down to economics......again.

take care passing on your treasures to your children. It is really a beautiful process. I am sitting here blasting obscure BM while my 11 year old son sits next to me and loves it with me.,,,

for me that is amazing to feel. regardless of how produced physically. The more important matter is the love for this music!!!

love and passion for the music= beautiful no matter the format.

04/18/2015 - another new SBTDOH release =Pennsylvanian Hypnocenter=

Exiting week here at the compound. Didn't know this was happening until today but SBTDOH has a fully exclusive track on a new split cd out today on:  Pennsylvanian Hypnocenter from Stahlstown, Pennsylvania!

Check it out here:
https://pahypnocenter2.bandcamp.com/album/tripping-unto-sounds-ov-color-part-12

For ordering a copy for yourself please contact Henry at the label. He says:
"if people want to order straight through me, they can send 2 dollars for a copy over paypal through: palemoonproductions666@mail.com or through mail at: p.o. box 37 - stahlstown, pa - 15687 - usa"

This track was recorded on a very dark & cold night early last Winter. "Blizzard" A total subconscious wall of self reflection and rumbling of the destruction of belief systems taken in a absolute sense by anyone of any system set up to control any living being.

I should have a few copies soon if anyone wants to pick one up from me. I will post it with a picture etc, once I have them.

---------------------------------------
Also, starting around May 1, 2015 going into production mode of the next Shrouded Recordings Zine (#3) which looks to be released in late spring 2015. Please get in contact if you would like to be a part of it in any way.

ED. ALL.;THE TAPES ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO SEPARATE! THEY ARE 'LATE WINTER – EARLY SPRING' 2015.

I HAVE BEEN SO EXCITED AND LOOKING FORWARD SO MUCH TO RELEASING THESE 2 TAPES!

$4.00 EACH

I HAVE POURED MY DEEPEST, MOST COMPLEMENTARY, REVELATORY NEW VISIONS INTO THESE TAPES. THEY SIGNAL A CHANGE IN MY APPROACH, ONE I AM ABSOLUTELY THRILLED TO BE GOING DOWN. IT MAKES LIVING IN THIS SHIT WHOLE WORLD WE DO A BIT MORE BEARABLE FOR A FLEDGELING MOMENTS ON A SONG HEAR TO A TRACK THERE.

BOTH TAPES ARE C-10 WITH 4- 5 LONG MINUTES EACH. TAPE IS FILLED FROM END TO END. A RESTART OF LAST SUMMERS PRIMAL DECLARATIONS OF THE 18 PART DEATH SERIES I WAS TAKING ON (dth). AFTER SOME SPLITS AND WORKING ON TAPES FOR UPCOMING NON-SHROUDED RECORDING RELEASES OF SBTDOH MATERIAL/ PROPAGANDA. I HAVE NOW PICKED UP THE OLD LANTERN TO LOOK IN DARK PLACES OF MY SOUL AGAIN. COMING AT THE RESEARCH AND PRE-RITUAL RECORDINGS FOR THE GUIDANCE OF OTHERS WORKING WITHIN OURSELVES WE FOUND PEACE AND ALWAYS WAS DAILY WAITING FOR THE DARK TO GO DOWN- TO ABSORB AND BLIND US. BUT SOME OF US CAN SEE AND THOSE WATCHERS NEED TO KEEP SEARCHING, KEEP EXPLORING, WORKING, AGAINST OUR OWN SELF JUDGEMENT SOMETIMES. IN THAT YOU GIVE OVER TO THE INTERTWINING OF THE REAL WORKING IN RTHYMN AND UNISON BETWEEN THE SUB CONCISENESS AND THE PHYSICALITY OF TOUCHING THE MUSIC YOU LISTEN TO. IT IS BEAUTY OH BEAUTIFUL TO HOLD YOUR MUSIC IN YOUR HAND. TO STUDY OVER EVERY WORD AND IMAGE AGAIN AND AGAIN SO AS NOT TO MISS ANYTHING. BOTH SIDES, USUALLY DIFFERENT THE CASES, THE INNEREDS! THE FLYER, FOR SOME OTHER RELEASES. FUCKING AWESOME! I WISH TO LEARN HOW TO BE A PART OF THAT PLACE. THAT PURE LOVE ON EXPLORATORY MUSIC MIXED WITH GENTLE AND KIND LIVING AMONGST A GROUP OF PEERS. I DON'T WANT THIS ISOLATION. MAYE IT DRIVES ME(?), MAYBE ITS KILLING ME (?). NO ONE KNOWS??! IT SUCH A FUCKING MESS. TOTAL CHAOS. NON STOP ALL DAY. ALL OF EXISTENCE IS FUCKING INSANEO FUCKERED PHYCOS WHO WANTED NOTHING FOR PEACE. BUT FOR A FIGHT FOR A 'MANHOOD' STRENGTH AND MIGHT PHYSICALLY, DECIDING THINGS IN ANCIENT TYPES ON LAW. BULLSHIT. FUCKING BULLSHIT. THANK YOU TODD. I WISH ALL SO MUCH WELL. I WILL CONTINUE TO TRY TO NOT DESTROY MYSELF IN MY NEVER CEASING  UTTER DESPISINGLYISH HATRED OF MYSELF, AND MY HATRED OF MOST OF ALL HUMAN BEINGS. I JUDGE. I DON'T WANT TO BE FORCED TO.WRETCHEDNESS!! BUT ITS THIS OR NOTHING? AND HOW CAN i FEEL OTHERS AND HELP HERE IN THERE IS THE CALM KNOWING COMING OF, PAY, DOES MAKE THE INTERACTION OF THOSE NOT IN NO SLOTS.  JUST LET THEM BE AND SEE HOW IT GOES. WE CAN TALK MORE ABOUT THAT LATER. NOT NOW THOUGH TO WEAK TO BRIGHT OUT. YOU COULD NOT ACCEPT THAT FROM YOURSELF. JUST GIVE IN, LIKE SLIDING INTO A BREEZE. TRY THE BEAUTIFUL INTERTWINE AND THE SPIRIT IN WHAT WE THINK MAN AND PHYSICALITY TO BE OR BECOME AFRESH.
