In 2022, we released The Silver Panthers of Luna, a speculative ethnography composed by Ben Blohowiak, as a lathe cut vinyl LP.
It received some nice critical acclaim and Ben has now followed it up with two more works comprising a trilogy.
The first of these is Let There be Peace on Mars Again which can be heard on our BandCamp and is being released as a limited edition of 25 lathe cut LPs, available for pre-order now in our shop.
This installment uses cutup and bricolage methods applied to archival historical recordings to answer the prompt:
