Unsettling Predictions from Garbled Closed Captions digital, tape (2023)
A bit of a change of pace. While working from home during the pandemic, i routinely had 1 or more synthesizers sitting beside me on my desk. i'd fiddle with a noise or ambient patch and let it drone on for the afternoon. every once in a while, i'd stumble upon something that i liked and then record a few minutes of it. This is a collection of 10 of those recordings arranged into 2 compositions. It is available from Unmapped North both digitally as well as on a limited edition tape.

 A Futile Stream of Commands by Gnarled Horse Throat, digital, tape (2022)
Gnarled Horse Throat is Nick Breinich and myself. The origins are murky, but Gnarled Horse Throat started in 2008 at either the Garfield Artworks in Pittsburgh or "Breakcore Pancakes" at the From the Gut loft in Detroit. A Futile Stream of Commands is our first recording and was released on Darkfloor Sound in late 2022. Mike from Darkfloor wrote the following about this release:

Sludge convulses, shudders, and oozes forth from the industrial machine. Gnarled Horse Throat grind it out in full display, all over the floor. Backed with remixes by Finland's sonic dub experimentalist Luke Lund, and the original heavyweight beast Mick Harris (Scorn, formerly of Napalm Death). With three further versions by GHT themselves on top of their six original cuts, A Futile Stream of Commands is all heft, all murk, all Darkfloor Sound.

 Repatriation of Remains by Brown Angel, digital, tape (2014, 2015)
The 8cylinder remix of Brown Angel's The True Cross is available on Repatriation of Remains. The original version appears on their Agonal Harvest album. Adam MacGregor from Brown Angel wrote the following about Repatriation of Remains:

"Repatriation of Remains" was previously released as an extremely limited cassette in January 2014 to commemorate a rare homecoming performance by Brown Angel at Gooski's pub in Polish Hill, Pittsburgh. These unreleased tracks and demo recordings provide another insight into our band and process.

Looking back on this release, I'm most happy that we included the cover version of "Rust Belt Noose," written by our longtime friends Kim Phuc, and the "True Cross" remix by 8cylinder, another old friend and visionary working in the dub/breakcore idiom. It's the least blown-out and raw-sounding track of the program; but I'm glad to revisit that quality of the band, present in droves live and during the demo phase, but sometimes lost or downplayed in the studio.

The contents appear here on Bandcamp with four bonus tracks, which are demo recordings from the pre-production of the "Agonal Harvest" LP, a pair of which date to 2006.

The tape release is sold out. The digital release is still available from Bandcamp at:

 The Entertainment digital compilation (2014)
A Pattern Unkind to Human Form from 8cylinder is available on The Entertainment digital compilation from Immigrant Breast Nest. Immigrant Breast Nest wrote the following about The Entertainment:

Immigrant Breast Nest has been in operation for five years and to celebrate we'd like to present "The Entertainment", our 50th release. Through the course of the compilation's 20 tracks, you can hear the past, present, and future of our label. Familiars from I.B.N.'s early days crash against newcomers with startling new sounds to present. We're always pleased to hear musicians break, trouble, and complicate electronic forms and genres: all the tracks here do that work.

Immigrant Breast Nest sprung from two people jamming in a Queens, NY furniture factory and has since run a course of mutation which cannot be charted by rational means. No evolution but a kind of arcane septicity. Just as the artists we represent perform impossible vivisections and outlandish experiments within their music, so have we sliced open the idea of the net-label and tinkered with its innards. Immigrant Breast Nest always remains a possibility, a convergence, a nucleus forming out of unrepentant creativity. It's infectious work and the infection is "The Entertainment".

Released on December 3, 2014.

The compilation is available from Bandcamp at:
