Frontera

One week after returning from Lisbon the afternoon of Nov.23

A good year topped by moments of real joy in Europe these past weeks.
Outpost 13 did 4 performances-Lisbon , Oporto , Berlin and London live radio recording for possible Dec.12 airing,
JG Ballard night initiated w Porto , the experimental 'audio movie' Vandal Tribes EP by O13 & Luca Davis out now on REC003 ! .
And over the next few months O13 will do the rest of the debut album.

That was following the Phisteria "Oshima Cassette" 10" main fruit of our reformation in 2007,
DCC has a new 12" underway and the whole new album looking for a home .
Dominatrix is back in play and album is in production, listening to songs 6 & 7 the other day,
relieved to hear they still make sense and sound good

Polystyle project X ' new album of songs, pieces, soundscapes from 1998 * Annapurna Range ,
2000 * Khumbu Region + Phi Phi Island . That's around 8 pieces now underway w a few new ones started in Europe.
