orchestramaxfieldparrish - Crossing Of Shadows

(fs12) Second Edition of 225 in Japanese style gatefold sleeves

orchestramaxfieldparrish's Crossing Of Shadows is a dark collection of lamentations originally recorded in 2006 and only released in a small private pressing in 2007 and has now undergone a remix and remastering. This new edition of six improvised electronic compositions is based on field recordings both left unprocessed and severely reprocessed, with added guitar, piano, voices and electronics, creating a musical path beginning from a place of extreme darkness and culminating in a point of light and hope. Recorded and mastered in 96K 24 bit audiophile audio. Included is a reconstructed version of 'Thirst' which first appeared on the Caligari - An Exquisite Corpse dvd release through the Chain Tape Collective.

Pæan No. 1 - The Paradise Syndrome ...I have found paradise, Surely no man has ever attained such happiness. Here, there is much time for everything. Each time your arms hold me it's as joyous as the first. Each kiss is as the first...

(fs10) Second Edition. Professionally made cdr-ep in extra heavy 6 page cardboard sleeve with archival rice paper inner sleeve to last forever.

The first new full length orchestramaxfieldparrish work since 2002's highly revered 'Tears' is now scheduled to be released January 1, 2008, titled The Silent Breath Of Emptiness. This new recording consists of an improvised solo electric guitar soundscape originally intended for an exhibition of local area visual artists that never came to be. This piece was totally improvised, recorded live and captured in one take and then divided into 4 parts. No overdubs were done so as to not augment the original intention of the piece. A reconstruction of the entire work is included as the fifth track. Recorded and mastered in 96K 24 bit audiophile audio. Beautifully presented in a full color limited edition digipak with matte varnish. First edition includes a handmade obi strip of vellum only available direct here and not through other distributors..

Digital downloads can be found at iTunes, CD Baby, Amazon and other authorized mp3 sites.

(fs5) - cd in digipak. Light years ahead of its time. Or any time. The shadows between the rays of light. Unearthed and dusted off, this collection of previously released and unreleased gems from this N.Y.C. groove oriented, psychedelic art funk rock band that made the original mid '80s New York underground club scene sit up and take notice. A scene which is sadly, gone. All original members of Black 47 and Copernicus. Originally recorded between 1985 and 1987. Digitally mastered & restored. Serious grooves with a sinister twist. A double album's worth of songs on one cd. Includes an extremely unorthodox recording of The Beatles 'I Am The Walrus'.

(fs2) - oversized 4/c gatefold fold out cover with vellum insert. The first full-length ambient symphony of psychedelic tone poems from this new music project. Exquisitely somber. Contemplative and reflective. The soundtrack to a movie not yet written.

Due to demand, 2002's 'Tears' has been reissued in a second edition and has now been remastered in 24 bit 128k audiophile fidelity. This new design is professionally printed & duplicated and comes in a 4 color fold out gatefold cardboard sleeve with archival rice paper cd sleeve. Very cool indeed.

Digital downloads can be found at CD Baby, iTunes and other authorized mp3 sites.
