Shameless Self Promotion...Again

This blog is by no means dedicated to the promotion of my own compositions (you can find all that stuff in the side bar here to your right if you really want), but since the Planet of the Scrapes Blog is currently heavily engaged in the promotion of The Songs of Baron Samedi by The Scrapes I feel that this is the most appropriate platform to announce the surprise forwarded release date of my new album "'Til It All Melts Away'" on Sydney online label Wood & Wire. It seems that the beast could well come out next week instead of the original August projected release date. This is, in my humble opinion, my finest work to date and to top it off it's being released for FREE. Here's the blurb I sent the label: Adam Cadell’s ‘Til It All Melts Away…4 compositions inspired by red-earth roads and busted sound systems...monumental, urgent, meditative, angry, gentle, more electronic than any of his previous work...it is evocative of West African sounds filtered through a fucked up lens of Minor Threat and Anton Webern with a dash of Tony Conrad dronathon for good measure. Recorded entirely on a hand-held field recorder in Accra, Ghana and then munted beyond recognition with his trusty laptop, this collection of pieces for violin, gonje, percussion, found sounds and electronics represents part of Cadell’s Radical Violin project. Music against complacency and apathy…music against capitalism and exploitation…music for truth. “Radical Underground Violinists of the world, stand up, take your instruments and your intellects and help build a culture in opposition to the powers that are degrading our disadvantaged fellow humans and making our planet uninhabitable!” Dr. Adam Cadell The Manifesto of the Radical Violinist Will post it up here when it's ready. In further news I also contributed violin to a couple of tracks on the new Jastreb (Croatia) album "Mother Europe", due out in September on HauRuck. Here's a preview where you can hear a bit of my scraping somewhere in there: You can pre-order this magnificent krautrock bastard HERE
