Hey everyone — took me ages but I've finally released a new volume in the Maladaptive Strategies retrospective release series, which gathers up all of of my non-album tracks over the years.

This edition, Volume 2, focuses on material made in the 2003-2007 period, and specifically, tracks made with the nanoloop Game Boy musicmaking software. I'm happy that these are finally properly out, because it's genuinely some of my favorite material out of everything I've done.

Two tracks are newly recorded, four have been given new, proper mixes, and the whole thing has been remastered, all courtesy of Trey Frye. And the whole thing is wrapped up in beautiful artwork by Andi Soto.

Stream / download at Bandcamp · https://bit-shifter.bandcamp.com/album/ … gies-vol-2

I haven't fully decided yet, but I will probably also be putting this volume out on all standard download & streaming services. If I do, I'll spam the internet about it.

Volume 3 is on the way, with a possible Volume 4 to follow. Stay tuned and thanks for listening.

INFORMATION CHASE • LIMITED EDITION VINYL RELEASE · PREORDERS LIVE NOW

Can barely believe it myself , but it's true — fifteen years after its original release on 8bitpeoples as 128 kbps .mp3s, I'm happy to say my EP Information Chase is now being released on limited-edition vinyl via the wonderful people at Ship to Shore PhonoCo.. This is a dream come true for me, and I'm super excited.

Pressed on transparent blue vinyl, the album comes in very clever die-cut packaging which boasts additional new artwork by pixelsmith Drew Wise. Remastered for vinyl by Dietrich Schoenemann of Complete Mastering.

Purchase of the vinyl release gets you a digital download of the album (which, for those keeping score, includes the bonus tracks that came with the album's 2013 Bandcamp release) — ★PLUS★ a never-before-released third bonus track — "Reformat The Planet (Low Gravity Version)," an alternate, slower rendition that some might recognize from various live performances over the years — finally given a proper studio recording, and masterfully mastered by Chris Burke (glomag / the Mandible Judy podcast). This track in particular has become pretty special to me, and I hope you enjoy it.

Preorders are live now, through:
• Black Screen Records in the EU,
• chipfreq in the UK, and
• Ship To Shore PhonoCo. everywhere else.

Whether, to you, this EP is brand new or old news, I'm just personally overjoyed that it will exist in this format, and I sincerely hope you enjoy it.

Thanks!
