ELEMENTUS MUSICALIS - XENOCHRONY
June 2021, Elementus Musicalis released a piece on Bandcamp called 'Xenochrony'.
Xenochrony (as one should know) was a technique used and developed by Frank Zappa, pasting pieces of one song into another.
Not that I can hear any references to Frank Zappa's music is in this piece, but it is called 'Xenochrony'.
But Elementus Musicalis is not unfamiliar with Frank Zappa's music.
Also in 2021, Elementus Musicalis released "Zappa Revisited", and later in 2023, "Zappa's Sofa".

A DISTURBING MESSAGE FROM STICK MEN
Hi everyone,
Keeping it as short as possible: I’m writing to share a difficult update regarding our recent travels in Chile. Unfortunately, we (Stick Men) were victims of an organized theft where much of our gear and personal items were stolen from our suitcases while in the custody of the airline.
The loss is significant. While I still have my primary instrument, we lost essential equipment, most notably including two of our Quad Cortex units and Pat’s sample pad. More devastatingly, three of my hard drives were taken containing dozens of music projects, archival data, and over 300 unreleased concert recordings from the last decade. On a personal level, these drives also held the only complete archive of photos and videos of my daughter from since she was born.
While we are not asking for direct donations, many of you have asked how you can help. If you would like to support the band during this time, the most effective way is to visit our Bandcamp pages and purchase digital downloads. Links below. Supporting our digital catalog helps us recover from the severe financial and emotional blow of this loss as we continue our tour next week.
And if any of our Chilean friends hear of our equipment and personal items being traded, we're very interested in recovering what was stolen from us, and we offer a reward for that.
Despite this setback, we will be back on the road next week and look forward to seeing many of you at the upcoming shows.
Thank you for your ongoing support and for standing by us.
Best,
Markus Reuter

LINUS HOFFMANN'S BOOK ON ZAPPA ALSO AVAILABLE AS PAPERBACK
I mentioned Linus Hoffmann's "Gegen Jede Schablone" book a little while ago.
It seems not only to be available as a hardcover book, but also as a paperback.
ONLY A MOTHER - NAKED SONGS FOR CONTORTIONISTS
- Only
A Mother: Naked Songs For Contortionists
(1991, cd, USA, tec tones)
Info from Discogs:
TEC Tones was founded in 1989 from the ashes of Ralph Records by Tom Timony after the Residents turned over Ralph to him. He kept it going, distributing many former Ralph acts as well as other like-minded individuals, like Negativland. In 1999 the name was changed to Esoteric Music Group though releases were mostly limited to CD reissues of old Ralph releases. Unfortunately, EMG closed its mail-order doors in 2001.
Only A Mother, Frank Pahl's project, was one of 'new' artists on TEC tones.
"Naked Songs For Contortionists" was Only A Mother's third release.
Experimental folk music could be a possible description.
Am I the only one who thinks that 'Bricks Are Naked, Damned" ends with a little Residents reference?
