It's been too long since our last update, but we're happy to report that the gears are moving again and we've got a full plate of exciting releases ahead of us. Right now we're uploading Stephane Leonard's second LuvSound release - a gorgeous work culled from recordings made in his Brooklyn apartment.
In the coming months we'll see releases from Nick Yulman, The Last Dinosaur, Arno Steinacher, Ludvig Elblaus & Jim Shoenecker, Bryan Killingsworth & Austen Travis, and two special compilations. One consists of reworkings of a piece by Lara Brodsky which will feature remixes by Tsukimono, Stephane Mathieu, and a host of luvsound regulars. The second is the long in the making follow-up to our first compilation, Summer Gate, Sun Made of Gave. We're working on a DVD release that will not only see much of the original music set to video, but a number of remixes as well. This will be our first physical release, and the flagship offering under our "gift economy" distribution system - but more on that later.
In other news, we'd be remiss if we didn't mention that jetsetting LuvSounder Sebastian Krueger of Inlets just accompanied Feist on Saturday Night Live! He's the sunshaded banjo player on the left - fun stuff! That's all for now, we'll do our best to be a little more regular in updates in the future!
