Hi fans of exaltron, haven't talked atcha in a while. Not much going
on in exaltronland, except... MY CD IS FINALLY DONE AND PRESSED!!!
Can you believe it? I humbly thank you for not sending me hatemail
about how I said the CD was gonna be done like, last spring. I
dawdled. I tweaked. I waffled. I hired consultants. (maybe I have a
future in politics?)
Anyway, you want one? I have yet to open my CD Baby store, or to
launch my clandestine campaign to plant exaltron CDs at a non-
participating retailer near you, BUT, if you can't make the CD
RELEASE PARTY ON FRIDAY, JUNE 2ND AT MUNDIAL (see below), you can
purchase my CD directly from me via Paypal:
step 1: go to exaltron.com
step 2: click on the "order now" button in the right-hand column
step 3: log in to your Paypal account*
step 4: order 1 CD for $10 + $2 s/h
step 5: order additional CDs for $6 each (shipping is discounted as
well)
step 6: sell the additional CDs at a ridiculous markup to
impressionable schoolchildren
step 7: proclaim your innocence in front of the World Tribunal in the
year 2089, alleging you "had no idea what this exaltron guy was up to".
Ahem, not only that, but if you place your order before 5 pm Monday
through Thursday, I'll ship your CD the same day!! Wait, unless
Amazon has patented that, in which case I'll, um, sit on it for a day.
OK? What? Not convinced yet? Damn you! A funkitronic hex on your
ipod!! Here, check out what my imaginary PR team focus-grouped for me:
> exaltron's latest CD, 5 by 5, is the culmination of over two years
> of composing, recording, experimentation and all-around dropping of
> science. On previous outings, exaltron focused on weaving together
> complex electronic textures inspired as much by drum n bass and
> electro as by latin and cuban rhythms. 5 by 5 combines these
> burbling textures with massive hip-hop beats, tasty horn riffs,
> searing guitar solos, and obsessively intricate wordsmithing. He
> tosses out the typical hip-hop formula of one-beat-one-chorus,
> instead gleefully expanding on melodic and lyrical themes to spin
> out intense, multi-layered musical confections.
>
> At the heart of exaltron's aesthetic is an unholy melding of old-
> school hip-hop flavors with "sense-of-life" lyrics inspired by the
> Russian novelist and philosopher Ayn Rand. With lyrics that run the
> gamut from solemn passion to inspired silliness, exaltron touches
> on a wild diversity of topics: The founding fathers, Malthusian
> economics, classic cars, religious dogma, British culinary maven
> Nigella Lawson, the french libertarian activist group Liberte
> J'ecris ton Nomme -are all ground up and formed into spicy lyrical
> meatballs.
So there you go, you can't argue with that kind of logic. Go forth
and get your exaltron on.
And while I'm on the subject of moral imperatives..
CD RELEASE PARTY!!! FRIDAY, JUNE 2ND AT MUNDIAL!! (12th st betw Ave A
& B)
JUNE 9TH @ SNITCH W/ APSCI (if you don't know Apsci, you don't know
underground electro hip-hop. Not your fault or anything, it's just
that Clearchannel is totally threatened by them prolly).
More details to come on both of these. For Warperheads, I won't be
playing this month's Warper, but I'll be there stealing ideas from
the other performers and of course I'll have CDs for sale.
Ok, still reading? What the hell is wrong with you, do you not have
cable TV or something?
More podcasts and a video for the title track are in the works. Keep
an eye on my blog for updates!
semper ad glorium,
exaltron
