Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"This limited edition hand painted and numbered CDr Digipak compilation features noise artists from Wilmington, NC, USA. The nine songs on this compilation are the product of just four individuals (Carl Kruger, Ryan Lewis, Allison Parker and August Traeger). As shown by this release, these four are actively involved in their own solo work as well as numerous incestuous collaborations. A great document of the Cape Fear region's experimental music scene."-Bicephalic

Contrasts of noise exploration and melodic interventions from Mr. Stonecipher, aka Ryan Lewis, employing a variety of approaches to soundwork both attractive and brutal.

"Shadows burn the rain with faces in your lap. Soft shiny numbers of what we have to become. Giant medicine minds give out bags of snakes. There comes a drum on the left window. ...tell them it was Mr. Stonecipher."

Mr. Stonecipher is the solo harsh dream sound project of Ryan Lewis. The project dives deep within Ryan's childhood traumas and serves as an outlet and meditative release for the artist using sound. Stonecipher was his birth name thus being adopted by his grandparents becoming Lewis.
