A very big thank-you to Lynnette Shelley of The Red Masque for all her efforts in launching this brand new series. I sincerely hope that the entire evening is a resounding success--and that the series thrives and continues to bring much wonderful live progressive music to Philly
for a very long time to come.

Also, please note that two additional show in this series have been announced:

3/29 - Thee Maximalists/The Red Masque/Igor's Egg
4/26 - The Syn/Echolyn

Quarkspace - Spacefolds 9 imminent

The Spacefolds series features raw, improvisational, experimental work from our studio - the best of which gets mixed for release.

Spacefolds 9 is imminent. It will be available soon from the usual host of digital services (iTunes, eMusic, etc.) and on lossless autographed CD-Rs directly from us.

This is a very psychedelic Spacefolds featuring special guests Brandon and Lynnette from The Red Masque and Carl Howard from Nomusic. Here is the track listing:

1. Is it Really? 6.59
2. red melt 7.34
3. Third Score 8.59
4. Ghost Satellite 8.42
5. Al Neri Sleeps with the Angels 7.59
6. Fake Leaping Violinists 6.30
7. six of purple 2.52
8. See How the Stars Fade 10.05

You can check out "Red Melt", one of the tracks of Spacefolds 9 at our myspace website - http://myspace.com/quarkspace

This is one of the tracks with all 3 special guests - Lynnette and Brandon from The Red Masque and Carl Howard from Nomusic. It sounds like some warped version of the Jefferson Airplane from an alternate universe.
