A New Transmission....Barzakh....

Hello Scrapes fiends,
So after vast travels through the heartland of voduns we managed to summon the Saturday Baron...he gave us this new non-song from the world between life and death...Barzakh...available here:





This, and the 3 previous pieces, will be available online for another 30 days...after that it will disappear indefinitely as we summon new pieces to complete the tome. It will reemerge in the diabolic form of a physical release sometime in 2014...further transmissions will enlighten all...

As always we must strongly iterate that all online purchases aid us in producing more scraping sounds....

Ethiopian scraping and jumping...

Helloooo all. Been a long time between posts sorry. Been travelling around Ghana and neighbouring countries seeing vodouns priests, sampling the moonshine, scrambling through jungle and tearing around sprawling urban wasteland on the backs of motorbikes...soon I will make my way to Senegal but I won't be making it to Ethiopia anytime soon to the best of my knowledge. Regardless I just discovered this video and felt compelled to share it. Seeeeriooous. Very similar in some ways to the Gonje of West Africa of which I am a student but bigger and doomier...the beats and so on are very different and seriously interesting...and I think we need dancers like that for all future Scrapes performances...on that front some performances in Aus are to be announced soon!

Adam Cadell - 'Til It All Melts Away out now via Wood & Wire

Good morning allllll,

So it is with great pleasure that I announce the release of my new solo album 'Til It All Melts Away out NOW on Sydney-based net-label Wood & Wire. 

You can see what it's all about HERE

Radical Violin for red-earth-dirt-road travelling. I would say my finest compositions to date on the solo front and my difficult 5th or 6th solo album....can't remember...lost count. You can find MORE OF THEM HERE

Here I'll embed the player to make it easy for you...

Get into it. If you want to bring it out on some sort of platform on your label then get in touch via whatever means possible.

More Songs from Baron Samedi....

Two new vessels from the in-between world have washed up on your shores...listen hard..."A Haunting" and "Militant Signals"...download if you want to support new music and a future physical release (probably on vinyl) or just stream it on your fancy bourgeois broadband if you're a cheapskate. Dig it like a shallow grave.

Ethiopian Dooom...

Found this trip while trawling through the excellent Awesome Tapes From Africa facebook page. Mr. Shimkovitz drops some incredible videos on there...check it out...the trve Orthodox:
