‘If Brass Wakes A Trumpet‘
3xCD {2019/2025}

[eieBWT123]

This is a sprawling 3 CD, 47 track compilation containing nearly 4 hours of almost-entirely exclusive material (only 2 exceptions) from an amazing range of artists from the experimental (or experimental-adjacent) music scene. It is limited to 250 handmade copies.

The 3 discs are housed in a self-designed and hand-assembled top-loading 3-panel fold-out pocket sleeve. The outside of the sleeve is decorated by 3 art panels, and the inside includes: a self-designed, old-timey ‘Ex Libris’ panel that will be hand-numbered and personalised for each owner; a wistful and sensitive photo portrait of my DVT filter; and a glued-in booklet with project origins, track listing, and a beautiful title design & background artwork created by Robynn Iwata.

It took a massive amount of effort and nearly 7 years to complete, so I’m not selling it cheap. Copies are $125 each plus postage. Due to the limited quantity, I’m only selling them one per customer. As mentioned before, each copy will be personalised to the individual owner.

IMPORTANT NOTE: As this is a very expensive item, so I want to be sure you know what you are getting. The discs are factory-pressed CDs (not CDRs) and the artwork was printed by a professional print shop, but the rest of the package is entirely hand-assembled: hand-measured, hand-cut, hand-folded, hand-glued. While this was all done with considerable care and attention to detail, it inevitably includes all of the inherent ‘charm’ of an hand-assembled object, with plenty of small irregularities and imperfections. Also, it is not made with the usual machine-applied aqueous coating, so a little extra care should be taken in handling. Each copy will come in a protective plastic sleeve.

NOTE: Track 5 was done without any direct involvement from Coil. In 2003 I was sent some Coil source material by Brainwashed to create a track for a (never-released) split 7″ project. This is a completely reworked version of that track that incorporates some additional Coil raw material that I received later from a different source.
