1908 is a semi-improvisational, free-form, multi-instrumental, virtuosically-elctroacoustic, casually-cantankerous, zealously-unzealous, often-deplorable music project borne of Portland,
Oregon.

1908 Bulletin: 1st September 2009

FLASH: Tree Trimming Scheduled

The latest 1908 materials are completed and now at this very moment are being compiled and combined for your listening distress. After ten months of total silence: expansion. More elaborate silences. More elaborately silent.

To those for whom the two releases of 1908 in 2008 were insufficiently or infinitely chaotic: thank you.

For 2009, the two newest releases to the 1908 catalogue: the inaccessible Attack and the ornate Retreat. Recorded during the eight weeks at the height of July and August. Retreat comprised of songs—the disharmonies comprising Attack. Not a strict rule, strictly speaking.

An entirely different delineation of the warring aspects. Made muck of by conjoining separations.

For preliminaries, and as farewell following the last overdub session, please find appended the first authentic broadcast of 1908 material and 1908 materialist, aired and left out to dry during the final hour of August 2009. The cost was a sidewalk refusal made into a bargain and a dearth of material in the family. A fitted farewell.
