new works in the making

Shiku Garu Projects recently did a project in conjunction with Kimochi Sound, for their first 12" vinyl release. A group of 90 1" circular stickers were hand made in groups of three, to be distributed to those participating in the pre-launch fundraiser.

There are new gyaru paintings in the works as well! They'll be posted soon!

Tonally - January 5th, 2010

for the third installment of the Tonally series, ambient electronic artist Sibilant will be headlining the night.

Sibilant's blend of field recordings, abstract sounds, and idm grooves constantly propel the listener forward through her sound scape washes. This will be your last chance to see Sibilant in Chicago, or anywhere else in the USA for that matter, for some time. At the end of January she will be departing for Grenada, to pursue a medical career.

Also special for January, Chicago photographer and model Wendy Alas will have some of her work on display. Through projections and large prints, Wendy's delicate fashion portraiture will set the perfect stage for sibilant's wintry sounds.


As always, Slowerson, Dreamlogicc, and Gravitymax will be on hand as Tonally Residents, peppering your ears and eyes with tonalll candy
