the silence industry

Artist/Band Profile: this is the project of graham jackson(ex-droom) and co conspirators. herein I intend to pick up where droom left off.

insert self important crap here.

these mixes are very busy in the low mids so expect them to sound like crap on small computer speakers. I don't care. also, don't bother emailing me to let me know that they're overcompressed and distorted to high hell. If I wanted it to sound cleaner than it is, I would have already made it so. likewise for, "I could make it sound better if I mixed it"... good for you! go make your own damn record.

everything on here is likely to be a work in progress, so the mixes and tracklisting will change somewhat from time to time. I intend to set up a few other mp3 sites to host more of this music as it sees completion so that you can download it for free. yes, that's right, free. it is at this point my intention that *everything* we do in this project will be digitally distributed for free I may or may not also list the music on pay sites like itunes, I haven't made up my mind yet.

feel free to podcast, play on internet radio, college radio, share on p2p, burn cds and give them to your friends, or sample for use in your own music (god only knows why you would choose to sample *this* but whatever). for any other purpose it's probably best if you contact me.

note to bands: add us, send us a message! I'd love to hear what anyone else in DIY land is writing/recording/releasing. also, we're always up for collaborations, if you're interested, gimme a shout.
