My track ‘enigmatic xii – beacons’ is included in the latest pertin-nce net label release ‘things are bad in haiti’. Label owner Maxime Tanguay’s family were directly affected by the earthquake:

Hey all!

As some of you know, our label has a special connection to the earthquake ravaged country of Haiti – so in the tradition of our charity net releases we quickly pulled together this compilation to help out.
Thanks to our regular contributors and everybody who responded so quickly.

Luckily, all of our family in Haiti are safe, but as you can imagine, the damage to their homes was devastating, forcing the majority of them had to temporarily relocate to Florida, the Dominican Republic or other regions of Haiti where they are sharing housing and other resources.

Needless to say, getting our family’s lives back to normal requires money for the basics: food, water, clothing, as well as the resources to build new housing.
This is why we’re dedicating this release’s proceeds entirely to the Haiti relief cause.

When you download this Pertin-nce release you can make a donation via paypal at account [bleupulp (at) hotmail (dot) com]
and use reference ”pertin-nce_031”. All of these proceeds will go directly to members of our family in need.

If you’d rather not give money directly to individuals, we also encourage you to give to an organization of your choice.

Thanks and enjoy our latest collection of music!

I always liked the quality of sound from my H4, but was getting frustrated by mic bump due to the Zoom-supplied shield which was just a basic piece of black foam which slotted over the mic – meaning it never shielded it fully, and was always falling off – which was how I eventually lost it while out recording one day.

Whereas the Redhead fits snugly over the top of the device – cutting out mic bump even on a windy morning down by the beach. And it doesn’t fall off in the wind! I tested it this morning on a fairly windy day, and got some very nice clean samples of waves. They are available for the H4, H4n and H2 – the blog on the website features some impressive demos of video and audio recording out on the beaches in Maui, where the products are hand made.

And yes, I got mine in wine :). The only thing I need to worry about now is children and dogs trying to play with it.

One hundred percent of the proceeds from the sale of these tracks will go
to support www.foodforthepoor.org, a 4 Star Charity which according to Charity Navigator has 96% of their funds going to directly to buying food. $20 will allow them to buy 100 pounds of beans and rice. That’s a lot!

I have submitted my work ‘enigmatic x – transmission’ towards the project. For further information, or to download and donate towards Haitian relief, please visit http://sonicanta.bandcamp.com/.

3.8 years and still going strong…. wait… how long has WoW been out?

Blizzard actually updated the tooltip on the item to reflect the meme.

The large ‘Whiskey’ amuses me.
