AphoniaRecordings.com Hits 4.5 GB Data Transfer in July
– Posted on August 1, 2007Posted in: Shows
While this may not go as all that exciting of news, I think it is quite significant. People are visiting the Aphonia Recordings website in droves. I am still waiting for our sale figures to represent this burgeoning visitation. It does make me excited, however, to know that so many people have shown so much enthusiasm and interest. Thank you all for making our site stats look good! We have also crossed the 35,000 hits mark – a first for the site. This doesn’t suggest 35,000 unique visitors, we have had over 1,500 of those! What it does suggest is a widening interest and growing exposure to what I consider unappreciated and under utilized talent in the music world.
This is just the beginning as our press release is being prepared, our second showcase of aphonia artists has been confirmed and will be in mid-August (the 16th) at Le Voyeur in Olympia, Washington. We are also going for a third show sometime soon at Gallery 1412 here in Seattle.
Also, there will be two more installments of our already beloved podcast upcoming. The first one, that should be out later this week, is all about why we listen. I wont summarize or paraphrase what this is all about here, you will have to wait until it comes out. I will say though that it is a slight departure from where we thought the podcast would go initially. It should be a fascinating hour of discourse on sound, noise and where we go from here kind of nonsense.
The second upcoming podcast, coming at a later date this month, is Ben’s interview with Derek M. Johnson, one of our favorite people. I have no idea what Ben is planning for this romp through the frenzy of improvisational music but it should make for an entertaining bit of Aphonia fun!
So, again, browse through the store and buy stuff. Better yet, come to our shows, which are all free at the moment, and bring a beer, close your eyes and relish the beautiful human noise.

About
– Posted on December 31, 2006Posted in:
We are electroacoustic circuit benders, algorhithmic composers, improvisational free form noise artists, microtonalists, and bizarre pop aficionados. We prefer genres that describe what artists do rather than what they sound like.
Longtime friends and collaborators/conspirators Ben L. Robertson and Andrew Senna founded Aphonia in the winter of 2006. With the premise that so many of their brilliantly musical friends had no common place to share or otherwise promote their noise experiments and oddball music, Ben and Andrew set out to create a website that allowed you to download music directly.
The roster of artists has gone from a mere 5 or 6 back in the early days is now well past 20 and growing quickly. Aphonia now expects most of its releases to be available online, as CD via mail order and even on regional independent record store shelves. Aphonia Recordings artists and showcases have been reviewed on Foxy Digitalis, Textura, XLR8TR, The Wire, among others.

Marlo Eggplant
– Posted on December 31, 2006Posted in:
Marlo Eggplant was born in Baltimore, MD. She was originally trained in voice, classical guitar, piano, and cello. She began her musical career favoring folk and punk by playing local venues as a teen. When she attended college in the Berkshires, she became more interested in avant garde and bizarre musics.
In 2003, she co-founded Spleencoffin records with Timothy Wisniewski. She was the drummer in the short lived improvisational deconstructed noise rock band, Hazardous Guadalupe. In 2008, she curated “Ladyz in Noyz” and continues to showcase women in experimental/noise music in an annual series on her label, Corpus Callosum Distro.
Using a minimal set up which includes an autoharp and few effects, Marlo Eggplant enjoys using sparsely structured notes and layered static textures in a improvised drone style.
