VA-Fukishima

I have a track called "Cylindrical Mirror" out now on the Presqu'ile Records compilation "VA - Fukushima!". 100% of the the sales of this release will benefit Japan Society’s Japan Earthquake Relief Fund. 
http://www.presquilerecords.com/psq004-fukushima
"This double compilation will feature contributions from Magda Mayas, John Tilbury, Choi Joonyong, Joe Foster, Hong Chulki, Jin Sangtae, Burkhard Beins, Mark Wastell, Jonathan McHugh, Annette Krebs, Chris Abrahams, Mural, Michael Pisaro, Greg Stuart, and Greg Kelley.
The album will also be accompanied by an online project gathering essays, paintings, pictures, and videos from AVVA (Billy Roisz / Toshimaru Nakamura), Billy Gomberg and Richard Kamerman.
Almost a year ago after the earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan, the situation is still very precarious. People of Japan need our help. This is a modest contribution, but 100% of the funds raised through the sales of this record will go to japanese non-profit organizations."

Greg Kelley (nmperign, Heathen Shame, The BSC) and Bill Nace (x.o.4, Vampire Belt, Ceylon Mange, Northampton Wools) first played together in Anna Rampage with Paul Flaherty and Ben Karetnick in 2006. Since that time they have performed in trios with Jake Meginsky and Chris Corsano, in a quartet with Flaherty and Corsano and last year, at the behest of Eli Kezsler and Ashley Paul, they began playing as a duo. Their first performance was at the Kezsler/Paul wedding reception in July of 2011. Utilizing an array of extended instrumental techniques, amplification and effects pedals, Kelley and Nace have allowed themselves an extensive palette to work with and set no boundaries as to where it will bring them. Delicate sound fields may slowly unfold only to then disintegrate into waves of tumult. Tumult may then bore itself into a maze of soft refrigerators...

Matt Krefting is a writer and musician living in Easthampton, MA. He formed the Son of Earth trio with Aaron Rosenblum and John Shaw in early 2000, played in the short-lived but much-loved group The Believers, released a CD of rock songs, plays in Idea Fire Company, and has been making solo tape music since he was 17. Not to mention a number of other interests and collaborations! He has focused on tape music for the past two years, and this tour marks the first time he’s taken this music outside of the Pioneer Valley. His music focuses on the decay and erosion of beauty and the impossibility of knowledge.
