We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Over the past year, I have been working on a new LP entitled "Songs for Nothing." Its time for this guy to see the light of day!

Over the past year, I have been working on creating "Songs for Nothing." A collection of four harsh noise/power electronics pieces revolving around the idea of our collapsing society and our distanced relationship from not only the destruction, but the root causes of the decay. The writing process began during the summer of 2009, with performances of the pieces stretching from September of 2009 all the way through the February of 2010. The recording process started during that fall and stretched until this past month.

I am incredibly proud of these recordings and strongly feel that this is my best work yet. Now I need to pass it on to you. My goal is to put together a vinyl pressing of the release. 150 gram vinyl with silk screened jackets. Very simple. All of the money raised from this website will go directly to pressing this record, printing record covers, shipping them to you and covering a few of the costs needed for the rewards.

For more information on my project visit http://experimentalmilwaukee.com/peterjwoods, which includes a brief sound sample from the record.

The label releasing it (FTAM, which is solely run by me) can be found at http://experimentalmilwaukee.com.
