Artwork and titles by Sky Goodman

"When I think about glitch art the first thing that comes to mind is layers. Layers of shapes and colors working together to create something new. In my mind that’s how the visual world works. There are things in the foreground and things in the background that, together with your vantage point, create a scene. With glitch however there is a sense of manipulation and augmentation. Things to do not look as they normally do, but what does “normally” really mean anyway? The glitch art of Sara Goodman has always made me think about sound and especially the sound that I make. When putting together an album I always think of it as compiling layers of transparent color, each one changing the overall image. There becomes a distortion to the end product. An abstraction of the elements involved which can be interpreted by the viewer."

"Poems E on magnetic tape" (NRR131)
by Rene J Nunez

supported by 5 fans who also own “Rainbow Monolith”

I've been pondering this album for a while now, and as with many brilliant musical works there is really no all encompassing bunch of words that will do it justice. Nunez has created something special with Poems E, a sound that is simultaneously warm and intimate yet haunted and alone. A sort of out-of-body experience, as if he started out recording a lo-fi indie, jazz record, but died half way through and his ghost finished up the rest of the recording. More of this, please!

Red Summer
by ONO

supported by 5 fans who also own “Rainbow Monolith”

I like this album, especially for the message that it brings that is really powerful and in line with what happened nowadays. The title and the whole album refers to the Black Lives Matter (red summer refers to the summer of 1919 where white supremacists committed a lot of homicide against black community in USA). The whole album speaks about this, with a lot of reference to historical events (e.g.: 20th August 1619 is the date when the first black slaves were deported in USA). losfastidios
