ch-ch-ch-changes...

we broke up..
but here is a recent review that was featured in the United Kingdom's avant-rock/alternative metal/noise magazine, Rock-A-Rolla:





Recently I have been playing with some new people. The new stuff has repetition, synth keyboards, rock n'roll, some krautrock influences, and some of the HEAVY. There will be a vocoder, there will be lyrics. Sounding a bit psychedelic. It is very driving. It is not stoner rock. It is not metal. It does remind me of a Conifer II, but thats because I can't breakup with myself.

The name of the band is definitely not High-A-Synth.

The Baltic Sea / Henry Gale at the Arm Factory shop



First draft..

Local songscape walkers The Baltic Sea are joined with Boston's instrumental whale wrestlers Henry Gale at The ARm Factory...200 Anderson street, Portland.

I will be printing these posters live, saturday night at the Assemble event, at Space Gallery. The orange color you see will be metallic gold ink, the grey will be metallic silver and the dark brown will be a dark copper.
Most likely a limited run of 50 or so.



My practice scratchboard sessions are going well. The next poster i do will have a last layer of black that will be something from scratchboard.

Started with the water..




Then added the sky...



After that I put down the hot hot pink, which made the orange pop out, then last layer of black.










Big thanks to Zarra, Jeremy and Dom who swooped down to the Arm Factory to help me out, someday we'll get a drying rack.
