*Ripper's note: Strange one this. Although the website, the
back sleeve and one of the inserts (see Inserts_1 scan) list
11 tracks, the disc only has 9. Looking again at the insert
with the timings (again, see Inserts_1 scan), it is clear that
those 11 tracks, with the timings given, cannot possibly fit
on one disc. I used the titles that matched the timings most
closely, so that meant titles 7 and 8 (Chernobyl Hearts &
Multiple Throats, Hyu-'bris-tik) were ignored.
Welcome to unlabel series52! This is number 40, released on
October 2nd, 2006.
Artist Info:
Celer - Celer is the the husband and wife duo of Will Long and
Dani Baquet-Long. After growing up on separate coasts, and
keeping communication active through the mail and small
meetings through the years, finally they have set out together
from California. Since they've created sound, art, and visual
intent for years, the name and collective concept of Celer was
created officially in May of 2006, having since created 14
separate releases, though many are still in production in
Celer's own personal, handmade, painted cases, with original
sound, art, writing, and photography. Their concept is that of
the pelagic nature of love, and the relative symposium of
sounds.
The series52 Concept:
While chatting on the phone back in September 2005 the two
people who run Unlabel decided to do this...
During 2006 Unlabel is releasing a series of 52 CD albums -
one every week of the year, all by people who aren't connected
with us (i.e. none of our regular artists), to include all
genres that we cover from the usual guitar based music -
acoustic and alt. country to post-rock / math-rock, hardcore
and beyond, piano, electronica / idm through to ambient,
glitch, microsound, gabber, industrial / noise, soundscapes
and anything else that takes our fancy, each in a strictly
limited edition of just 100 copies.
We decided to do something slightly different - instead of
focusing on local artists, as has been traditional with
Unlabel, we opened this project up to submissions from all
over the world. It is entirely separate from the usual
catalogue of releases and will run as a new offshoot of the
unlabel family.
The idea is to release work by unknown artists who may not
otherwise be recognised at all alongside a handful of
carefully selected guests, including a few names which may be
familiar due to their other releases elsewhere. We receive
quite a few demos these days from all over the world and it
will be good to work with some of these people and to document
music (albeit in a small way) that may not otherwise be
noticed at all...
Each 'album' in this project includes at least 8 tracks OR at
least 30 minutes of material and obviously quality control is
being kept to a high standard.
All releases are packaged in distinctive matching artwork with
the musical artists' own image on the front and two images
from Unlabel on the back - including one of a landscape
photographed every week over the 12 months of 2006 and all
pictures are professionally printed on high gloss photo paper.
Each sleeve is hand numbered and every CD includes a diary
page insert for the relevant week of the year, which can be
filled in and returned to Unlabel to win a unique prize. There
are also inserts from the artists and Unlabel making each one
of these fine discs a collector's item.
