Phonocratic Records

It is time to vote for your favourite Laurie Anderson remixes over at Indaba. I, of course, would like as many as possible to vote for Lost Shadow’s remix, but I cannot force you, and there are many good entries. You can see them all here, or vote for Lost Shadow’s submission here. Voting is open until the 27th of May. All help is appreciated.

I have submitted a very alternative remix of Laurie Anderson’s “Only An Expert” to her remix contest run at Ibdaba Music. If you’re into really alternative, arty, electronic music, please listen to it (and the rest of Laurie’s production also of course). She is an extremely talented artist, both musically and lyrically. I comment on it over at Indaba:

As usual when you want to investigate a system, you tear it down to its smallest parts and then reconstruct it to create a representative model, which will, if you’re in luck, tell you what you need to know about the system…

The remix was created using a technique I will use and describe more in detail later, in a coming art project (probably not under the Lost Shadow name, though).

We’re celebrating one year with the new site at www.phonocratic.com! Sadly, there is not much other news. Lost Shadow is currently working in the studio on songs for the new album, hopefully to be released later this year. Stay tuned!

Please note that orders placed between March 25 and April 9 will not be shipped until April 12 because of the Easter holidays. If you want to receive your order before April 12, make your purchases BEFORE March 25. Orders can be placed at our Bandcamp Store.

The new Lost Shadow single “A Nuance of Future” has been released. A Nuance of Future is the second single taken from the Lost Shadow ten year anniversary album “Age and Time“. This time, we have put together a maxi-single of over 70 minutes, consisting of 11 tracks. On top of long and short modern versions of A Nuance of Future, the single also includes the five winners of the Lost Shadow remix contest (Jason & Sander, DJ Alann Morse, Shane Wittig, stróm, and The Argyle Raver), as well as remixes by The Trance Line Project and Lost Shadow himself. We think this single is terrific, and suggest immediate downloading or ordering of it!

You can listen to the single at either Last.fm or Bandcamp. At Bandcamp you can also order a physical copy of the single, as well as downloading it. You could also use the player at the bottom of this post.

We also sadly announce that this will be the last single (at least for a long time) that is made available in physical format for ordering. In the future, Phonocratic Records’ singles will be released only in digital format, with printable booklets for those of you who want a physical copy in the shelf. We think of this as a necessary move to keep costs down, and hope that our reasoning is understandable. The whole store is going through some changes in the near future, which you will see soon. Stay tuned!
