Switching Mirrors available as e-book

March 18, 2017

Vanessa Sinclair’s much lauded book Switching Mirrors, issued by Trapart Books in November 2016, is now also available as an e-book. It can be acquired at all major online booksellers, like Amazon.com and iTunes. Amazon Apple iTunes Switching Mirrors is an amazing collection of cut-ups and mind-expanding poetry by Vanessa Sinclair. Delving into the unconscious and actively utilising the “third mind” as developed by William S Burroughs and Brion Gysin, Sinclair roams through suggestive vistas of magic, witchcraft, dreams, psychoanalysis, sex and sexuality (and more). Causal apprehensions are disrupted by a flow of impressions that open up the mind of the reader. What’s behind language and our use of it? What happens when random factors and the unconscious are given free reign in poetic form? Switching Mirrors is what happens. Vanessa Sinclair, PsyD, is a psychoanalyst and clinical psychologist in private practice in New York City. She is a founding member...

The Somewhat Lost Horizon is available online

March 15, 2017

Another blast from the past has been made available on all major online record stores and streaming services. White Stains’ The Somewhat Lost Horizon was originally released in the highly renowned Anckarström series and later on reissued by Dutch label Staalplaat. And now, finally, online, to appease many demands over the years. “White Stains (1987-1994), with main members Carl Abrahamsson and Thomas Tibert, were a seminal band that have influenced many generations of experimental musicians. Their work together with Throbbing Gristle- and Psychic TV-founder Genesis Breyer P-Orridge (At Stockholm 1990 and, as Cotton Ferox, Wordship 2004) is usually considered as the finest work by all involved. This particular album, The Somewhat Lost Horizon, contains film soundtracks and scores from the late 80s to early 90s, and is a fine example of their creativity and versatility both as composers and producers.” If you’d like to buy this album, please do so at...
