Trace Recordings The Trace Page Will Be The Main Point Of Contact For Rothko From Now

As more and more of the Rothko back catalogue becomes available from the Trace site, it's just becoming easier for me to update the Trace page rather than this one. There are also a host of new releases coming up, both Rothko ones and other exciting things too. [in my little valued opinion, of course]

I also no longer look after the Rothko myspace page, so, anyone wanting to get in touch, for whatever reason, please do so via the Trace site

trace recordings

This is the quickest and most secure way to get in touch.

Thanks so much!

Mark.

light a lantern on the water

Track list
Dysrhythmia - Earthquake
Rothko - Tell Your Story To The Winds [new studio version]
Rothko - Torch

Both our tracks were recorded, engineered and produced by Crawford Blair.

press release:
In a most unlikely of pairings, New York instrumental wizards, Dysrhythmia, dig up the old bones of a beast laid to rest on their self-released Contradiction full length back in ye olde 2000, and have returned to grind it’s remains to a pitiful dust. Over a 14+ minute span, they deliver an authoritative, attention-seizing reconstruction of said release’s finale, “Earthquake”, and have without question revisited old grounds simply to salt the earth. Calmly answering from the opposing side of the musical universe, London soundscape artisans, Rothko, present 2 tracks of winding, throbbing reflection, where even the smallest changes in resonance funnel giant shifts in emotion - faultlessly demonstrating how sound can become environment and each note can be the next logical step to a far-reaching horizon.



NEW SHOP
For the very first time, everything that i have left for sale of our back catalogue is available via trace recordings using Paypal.

there are some that i only have one or two copies of. all the prices are inclusive of postage and packaging to anywhere in the world. i'm hoping one or two people will find something that is no longer available in the shops...or anywhere...

more soon,

Mark.
