Dish & Spoon

Origin [Root Strata] Now Available

Composed by Duane Pitre and mixed here at Toneburst, Origin is set in 5 movements and is comprised of the vibrating strings of my ensemble of bowed "harmonic-guitars," which are unconventionally strung electric guitars (utilizing multi-unisons) tuned to intervals corresponding with the Harmonic Series, a.k.a. Just Intonation. Released on the San Francisco-based label Root StrataOrigin is available now on vinyl LP (limited edition of 300) with the CD version coming out this August. The LP comes with a download coupon for DRM-free MP3s of the entire album.

Check out what KFW's Mimaroglu Music Sales had to say about Origin; you can pick it up there, on my discography/store pageThrillJockey.com, amongst other online retailers...or going down to your local record store is always fun.

Origins

Duane Pitre's Origin and ED09 at The Stone are both coming out on the label Root Strata. Origin is coming out in Spring 2010 (no exact date yet) on vinyl and CD. The Stone ED09 (Fall 2010) will be on vinyl only. On an untimely note, his live recording of ED09 at NYC's Roulette in December '08  came out July 09 via Quiet Design Records. This was a 22-piece ensemble performance of the piece. From the Quiet Design site: "ED09 is an evolving, long-tone composition by Duane Pitre. This recording features 21 of New York's finest string/wind performers accompanied by subtle layers of bowed electric guitar played by the composer".

Lovers of Hate

Getting going on a sound edit and mix of Bryan Poyser's Lovers of Hate. A very funny comedy/drama from a great director. Hopefully more info about it will be available in the near future.
