W.O. 2001:1-CHARALAMBIDES- Water CDR- One long track from the 2000 west coast tour, recorded live in California at the KFJC studios on November 10th, with Heather (Ash Castles on the Ghost Coast, Scorces). On Water, the trio removes the skeletal anchor used in their ‘attended’ performances, favoring instead deep sonic furrows cut with sustained harmonic intervals. Chord organ, ebow guitar, and dual vocals are closely intertwined in horizonless microtonal space.
Edition of 100, each with a unique hand pasted photograph on its cover. SOLD OUT
W.O. 2001:2- TOM CARTER- monument CDR- Two tracks (one short, one long) of solo lap steel guitar, recorded directly to DAT a few days before the solo performance that this release commemorates. A documentation of the place where sounds interrelate by mass and improbable interval rather than note or key-- from the microscopic to the glacial, linguistically paced in tidal lung cadence. Edition of 55. SOLD OUT
W.O. 2001:3 CHRISTINA CARTER- Living Contact CD-R-
Christina Carter's second solo release and her first on Wholly Other. Acoustic guitar with occasional voice, recorded (unassisted) in nocturnal solitude on boombox and 4 track, spanning the years between Union and Houston (94-98) with most tracks dating from 95-96. The primitive and spectral underpinnings of Charalambides, rendered with mysterious simplicity. SOLD OUT
W.O. 2002:1 CHARALAMBIDES/SCORCES- UntitledCD-R-
Mostly Charalambides with one long track by Scorces, recorded in one stretch during rehearsals for 2002's 'East of the Mississippi (and Shreveport)' tour. Steel, glass, long intertwined combination tones. SOLD OUT
