1000 Suns

I have finally finished work on a new Brutum Fulmen release, 1000 Suns. This tape (previously titled "Starfish Prime"), will be released in a limited edition by Throne Heap.

You might say it's an audio drama because of the spoken parts, though it is on the impressionistic side and not a straight narrative. In any case, this is a bit different for Brutum Fulmen. It is about atomic testing and the human witnesses/guinea pigs involved.

The tracks are:

• TEOTW
• witness
• thor
• starfish prime
• EMP
• radiance
• coda

It is 22 minutes long. Each side of the tape has the same 22 minute program, however on one side, the recording was first subjected to all manner of abuse while in cassette format. I stretched, wrinkled, chewed, wrote on, broke, scraped, folded, and otherwise damaged the tape while recording it over and over back and forth between two cassettes for many generations.
