Baronic Wall New Year Update 2016

  2015 was a quiet year. Submerged neutron detectors in a different dimension are picking up images of the epic things I would achieve-yet they lack the means to interpret them. The portal to the future is still open, but the medium it is stored on is decaying and facing failure.

The following items may become available this year. I'm looking for labels to work with on releasing the following:

Baronic Wall-Paracrystaline Domains CS
Baronic Wall-The Blank Centuries CS (USA version with different/expanded tracks)
Trundle Nemix-End of the Age CS

The following are likely only getting released in a dimension other than this one:
Baronic Wall-Low Wage Cyborgs LP (300 copy self released LP w/handmade package+bonus items).
Paul Ballance-You Will Be Executed and Your Car Towed CS
Paul Ballance-I'm Ringing Your Doorbell CD-R
Stanad Rads-I Pass Over The Material Mountains CD-R
Stanad Rads-Caanad Rigs Be Drained? CD-R
New Compass Rose material
Trundle Nemix and Ron Spoones-Stairway to Temporary Employment/Smells Like Mental Fatigue.

Baronic Wall discography

 
First three tapes from the founding era when I lived in Iowa City. Going from left to right:

In Granite Parlor (Agents of Chaos) C20 in an edition 33 copies.

Released December 10th 2008

The second Baronic Wall tape to be recorded, but the first to see release. Distortion effect on the instrumental was created by running my casio mt-68 through a broken stereo reciever (known as the thrash stereo) and recording the result on a cassette deck. Vocals were done on a borrowed four track at a friend's house then edited into down into shorter songs.

The Golden Sword (self-released) C25 ish with around 50 copies produced. 

Released spring 2009

Recorded entirely using a handheld tape recorder. Recorded before In Granite Parlor, but released later. All recording and dubbing was done without a computer. Vocals were dubbed over the instrumental by time honored practice of taping over the erase head. Some copies have a message from Paul Ballance or a practice recording dubbed onto the blank space at the end of side B. The cover image is taken from a teenage notebook.

The Hidden Quantifier (Agents of Chaos) C20 in an edition of 55 copes, 

Released May 15th 2009

Instrumental part was created in the same manner as with In Granite Parlor. No four track was available, so I recorded my vocals on a separate tape recorder whilst playing back the instrumental on my main system. My 'producer' then synched up the recording on a computer, creating an even more disorienting effect.

Miscellania from the Iowa City days.

Split cassingle with Earn (Detrivore) C10,edition unknown.

Released spring 2009

My track on here is a recording from my first ever show. Some copies list the title as "Fastidious Tadpole" and some list it as "Knife Stroll". 

In Granite Parlor/The Golden Sword (Night People) C45, edition unknown.

Released 2010

Comp of my first two scarce tapes with the same material as the originals.

My more recent endeavours

Traditional Appearance (Goaty Tapes) C20, 100 copies.

Released September 24th 2010 

My first tape to be recorded on a four track and in a little shack in Wales no less. Used a variety of cheap keyboards, my longstanding ibanez AD-9 and a guitar. Title comes from a caption on the back of a bottle of cider, which said, "Shake gently for a traditional appearance". 

The Mind of Roses (Gift Tapes) C30, 100 copies.

Released August 12th 2012

First tape recorded in the space I now occupy in Portland, OR. Farfisa backed up with the thud of an ancient rhythm box and only a little casio. 

The Blank Centuries (Tanzprocez) C45, 100 copies.

Released September 22nd 2013

Recorded entirely on four track over the course of 2012. My first attempt at an album length experience. Mike Erwin did a nice job mastering this and I'm still tempted to release an alternate version of this with added material seeing as I was rather productive around this time period.

    
   Time itself grew old. Eons become meaningless and the fleeting specter of organic life fades from the universe. The final, inevitable, electron decay of all atoms grows near, and the entity known as Baronic Wall finally fulfills his promise to make his early cassettes available as pay what you want downloads: baronicwall.bandcamp.com

...In other news I have a few copies of Dead Space by the band Dead Channel who I do vocals for. $6 or trade. rustedeon (a)  (t) hotmail.com to purchase or correspond about whatever you might wish. The future is a miasma of possibilities, though I can say that Paracrystaline Domains is nearly finished. My very best wishes follow you into the ether...

New Baronic Wall Cassette, "The Blank Centuries".

C36 in an edition of 100 on the Tanzprocesz label. 18 tracks recoded over the course of 2012 using Farfia, a couple different casios and Ancient mixer W/spring reverb+rhythm box. $6 or trade.

Live at John's party

Baronic Wall-Live Side B.wav by Baronic Wall

Recorded by Drew on his boombox. This recording was originally made on analog equipment and may reveal the limitations of the source tape. Tracks: Prosecution/People Laugh at Me because I Like Weird Music (Instant Automatons)/Whiskey and Tea.

Uploads of OOP Baronic Wall cassettes coming soon.

Destroying all of the love when there existed a surplus.

"Worldwide Gas" by Paul Ballance and "The Simulation District" by The Compass Rose will be available shortly. Carapace Dreams is on hold until I can learn how to overdub the vocals in a way that won't sound awful. I may be doing a short midwestern tour with Trash Pop in July, it all depends on circumstances. I hope the original Baronic Wall Casio will still boot up. I'm re-booting my tape label soon and I'd like to hear from you if you make music with non-utopian sci-fi themes. rustedeon [a-t] hotmail. Here is something to keep you busy if busy is where you want to be kept: Stanad Rads and Defrey Malmud

Any one know where I can get the full movie?

Upcoming releases:

The Compass Rose-The Simulation District CS (Ekhein)

I'm also looking for individuals who are interested in forming some kind of messy stumble-rock band with me on vocals as an ongoing project, or as a one off for the Paul Ballance release show.
