ａｒｕｂａ / ｊａｍａｉｃａ- これは何ですか？

My name is Jimmy Joe Roche and I run a label called Ultraviolet Light. Since I launched UVL in 2015 I’ve been lucky enough to put out 3 cassettes with Todd Barton and we’ve kept something “in the fire” pretty consistently for the last five years. For 2020 I asked Todd if he’d be willing to curate a compilation of Buchela players. So here we are ! 

I think the work I’ve released on UVL has kinship with the sonic richness and experimentation that I associate with instruments designed by Don Buchla. The Buchla sound, and the thought process that people bring to the instrument ( or perhaps that the instruments brings forth in them) is undeniably unique and should be celebrated and preserved. When I wrote the mission statement for UVL I included this line : UVL is “ dedicated to releasing work by artists who push sonic boundaries, emphasize experimentation, conceptualize sound as invisible sculpture and radiate mysterious energies.” I feel like you fit this description and I sincerely hope you’ll be willing to allow us to include a track of yours on this compilation.

My plan is to do a first edition of 200 and mail each participating artist 5 copies as compensation. If the first run of the tape sells out within the year I may do a second edition of 200, again mailing each artist 5 copies. So a maximum of 400 copies total. I don't do online digital sales and I don't do open editions, so the artists always know exactly what and how much I’m selling. You all, of course, maintain all rights to your work and are free to re-release the tracks at a later date but I’d ask that you please wait for the first 200 to sell out ( or about 18 months). The tapes will include digital download cards. 

Say yes !
Sincerely , 
jjr
