To celebrate his 100th cassette release (400th including all formats) over numerous labels, Christian Kann will be releasing a cassette compilation on his currently active imprint, Metaphysical Circuits. The dropage of his next batch of four tapes will bring Kann’s tape harvest to 99. Specifically one cassette on Art Is A Joke, 43 on Beard Of Snails, and 55 on Metaphysical Circuits. Let’s see, 55 plus 1, then add 43, carry the 7… Yup, the math checks out.

Kann has been responsible for some hella-dope releases over the years with stunning artwork and preposterously compelling sounds by the likes of Lee Noble, Motion Sickness Of Time Travel, Guenter Schlienz, and horde of other jammers. Now is the time to get your name on the roster. The (possibly multiple) cassette compilation is an open submission situation. Here is the criteria:

→ One track per artist
→ Must not be previously released or available for download elsewhere (…yet)
→ Nothing longer than 8 minutes (shorter is better)
→ ‘Metaphysical Circuits-esque’ music is desired – but I won’t be as open to ambient, drone, noise, or minimalist synth as previously; let’s hear something new, fresh, different… I’m especially into “songs” lately (human voice + hi and/or lo technology)
→ People I’ve worked with in the past / people I haven’t never connected with – all are welcome
→ Send your WAV or FLAC – plus any info you want written on the cover – through WeTransfer (or your preferred method) to metaphysicalcircuits(at)gmail(dotcom)
→ Submission deadline is February 14, 2015

And that’s it. Simple enough. So get busy jamming, buy some Beard Of Snails and Metaphysical Circuits swag, and enjoy some personal faves below.
