zeke, ball of wax, air in the trees.

zeke is a 10 week old jack russel terrier. he is the newest addition to the family. he is verry smart. he enjoys galloping in the grass. chewing on beards with supper sharp puppy teeth, sniffing cat poo, anoying his new big brother gus, and working his sad puppy eyes to get his way.

hey ill be making my 3rd apperance on levi fullers ball of wax audio quarterly vol 8 in april with a special instrumental version of "moonlight is bright" (which will original version will be out on an upcomming ep on tract records called "air in the trees") im also on volume 1 and volume 6, which are all now out of print. but if you would like to own the songs you can now download them here for free

the new ep called (the first to release under my name ((marc manning))) "air in the trees" is all done music wise and is awaiting a release date from tract records. hopefully this summer some time. artwork is still being figured out and stuff. mostlikely the first 100 copies will come with a special hand made booklet of drawings. ill post more about it as it happens...

heavy lids copies of "things are happening at the same time" are quickly disapearing pretty quickly. im almost out of my copies. but you can still get them at anthem records and their website http://www.anthemrecordsinc.com/index.php?search=1&method=artist&value=Heavy%20Lids and dragons eye's website http://www.dragonseyerecordings.com/shop/index.html#

also the heavy lids / yann novak - long distance 3" cds are soon to be out of print but you may still be able to get them from dragons eye records while they still have some.

thats all for now thanks for all your support!

tonight at gallery 1412 in seattle ! cd release party

hi tonight im playing a show in seattle as heavy lids to celebrate the release of a new cd and book "things are happening at the same time" a bonus book of drawings will be given out at the show to the first 40 people then it will be gone forever.

HEAVY LIDS, SON OF ROSE 2-18 8:30pm (tonight)
(Gallery 1412) Seattle's Son of Rose (Kamran Sadeghi) is always a riveting live performer, whether he's using treated piano or laptop. His tactile, finely granulated compositions teem with iridescent sound molecules that expand to galactic dimensions on a good system. Heavy Lids (Portland guitarist Marc Manning) generates spectral drones and what sound like phantasmal monk hums in his epic devotional instrumentals. His new CD, Things Are Happening at the Same Time (Dragon's Eye Recordings), is like a 36-minute tantric-sex shudder rendered in seemingly static yet perpetually glistening guitar tones. It could be three seconds of Sterling Morrison's guitar and John Cale's viola snipped from the Velvet Underground's "Venus in Furs" and then inflated into a mystical symphony: sublimely immersive stuff. DAVE SEGAL
