GREETINGS... As the Magic Bullet project hits four years old, well, good to be back with you for another updated edition of The Magic Net. So, very little from us in the four months since the last one, not least due to the loss of my birth mother so soon after it was published. Really threw me for a while there, something quite disconcerting about having both the people who brought you into the world no longer there, left me with this awful sense of detachment and a kind of creative paralysis, only the latter of which I'm now starting to come out of. Many thanks for all the kind and supportive words received throughout the period, very much appreciated. As luck would have it, old friend Kev Trundley has stepped up and provided us with a new release worthy of a headline. I guess he got the idea after contributing Asparagi to Communitas Volume III back in 2021, as Bug Metallic is 51:40 of such mixes, sharing the common theme of being built around samples, sound bites and interviews from the world of the Magic Bullet. Kev will be releasing the album on his Conny Plankton Bandcamp sometime in the first couple of weeks of October, which you can get to most easily by clicking on his nice banner graphic above!

O As for Project M for Default Standard, I am saying nothing. It's like a damned jinx every time I open my mouth about it, so not a word. Suffice it to say the next time you hear about it, it'll be because whatever it has evolved into will be finished. Likewise for all else I had planned for the latter half of the year, I really need to get my head back in the right place first, so what comes along will probably be as much a surprise to me as to you.

SALLY CHENNELLE (1942 - 2023) Our solitary new release since the last edition, as just nine days after its publication, my birth mother passed away at the age of 80. This electro-experimental piece we were working on with El Zombie Espacial, originally with something of an avant garde jazz vibe to it, well, suffice it to say it took a rather dark turn after that... o

A barely recognisable and completely unexpected (due to my age, I hasten to add, not his failing to tell me he was going to do it) re-imagining of our In My World, I Am A Writer Of Some Repute from Howl in the Typewriter, performed in a kind of elektrofunk stylee with a wikkid groove, innit. Comes complete with a psychotronic sixties vibe video from the warped mind of Stan himself... o

There's now a limited number of copies of the Ever Present compilation on Shaun Robert's Institute For Alien Research label available on factory made CDR's, which includes a new home for our Four Minutes And Thirty-Three Seconds Of Your Life You Will Never Get Back. See 'Special Offers' below for how to bag yourself a copy. Meanwhile, here's the original suite... o

No no no, we're not being disrespectful to this modern day institution, we actually think it's a really excellent idea, people should be drawn out of their musical comfort zone, it's healthy. It's just the name of the track we did for it this year, honest. And how the sounds in it were produced. Poor taste? In my defence, I did clean the toilet before taking the picture... o
Magic Bullet - Taking The Piss In The Name Of Art (6:59) |
It's taken Alexey Kondart over two years to put this ultra-ambitious monster together (we recorded Пятьсот - Russian for 500 - especially for the project way back in June 2021!), but he's finally done it. And even if the tracks only averaged at 5 minutes long, that would give you the best part of two days running time. He may just have put the rest of us out of business... o
