about

(This album was originally released on Juneteenth 2020 on group A Bandcamp page)

group A's new charity compilation series "NO Recording" spotlights on over 1000 unreleased tracks, improv sessions and random recordings from our past. In order to act fast to emergency campaigns, fundraisings and people who are in need, the strict "no additional recordings" rule is set and instead challenge ourselves to cook with what we have in our fridge. Requiring no shoppings enable us to serve faster.
Some untouched from the original and some blended into other recordings. Rough edges and unfinishedness are left partially unintentionally; most of the demos and jam sessions were recorded direct to stereo, hence the mixing is limited, and partially intentionally as a part of the process of chance operations (we also just like it rough). This method allows us to practice a new way of composing and finding new sounds by chance, and truly enjoy the unexpected outcome.

Vol.1 mostly focused on demo from our creation period for the multimedia performance piece 'anOther' (Dana Gingras, Sonya Stefan, Mikko Hynninen) which was developed through 2017-2018 and premiered at Agora de la danse, Montréal in April 2018. The whole composition was released on Mannequin Records in May 2020.

On the release day of Juneteenth (June 19th), Bandcamp donated 100% of their share of sales to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund (a racial justice organisation with a long history of effectively enacting change through litigation, advocacy, and public education). As of January 2022, all profits we have received from vol.1 in total of €280.75 have been donated to NAACP. (www.naacpldf.org) All profits will keep being directed to them in the future.

We stand with protesters, our brothers and sisters in black community and people of colour. We condemn police brutality and racism, and demand justice for all the victims. It might sound cheesy but we do believe in change if we all stand up together. The time is now.

We appreciate it if you consider donating more than €5 if you are able to.
Thank you!

Banger after banger on this one. Crank the volume, and ensure you have some solid subs going. I'd buy this on vinyl in a heartbeat. Mr. Paul
