9.3.13: The Isolatarium – A Novel By Brad Rose
Experimental mogul Brad Rose apparently found time between making music, making cassettes and records, making podcasts, making tape recommendations, and making humans, to write a book. His 125-page sci-fi novel, The Isolatarium, is available through Amazon and Digitalis as an eBook now.

Rose came up with the concept for the book about an isolated space prisoner in the 24th century (you had me at “isolated space prisoner”) when he was finishing up a Charlatan album of the same name. The book comes with a digital companion soundtrack featuring sounds by Charlatan, Keith Rankin’s project Giant Claw (Keith also did the artwork), Paco Sala, Basic House, Rose Kallal and James Ginzburg, Prostitutes, Best Available Technology, Josh Mason, SEEKERSINTERNATIONAL, and Peder Mannerfelt.

This is part one of The Isolatrium. Expect part two by the end of 2013 or so, with a possible physical edition merging both chapters to follow.

Go ahead and start streaming the soundtrack now. I’m willing to wager that by the time it’s finished Mr. Rose will have already started a Foxy Digitalis Boxing League, North Sea Cruise Line, and a tasty BBQ Sauce.
