'NIGHTSHADE' cassette now available for digital download

hey there-
the cassette i made for my tour in japan this year is now available via bandcamp

http://markmcguire.bandcamp.com/album/nightshade



"NIGHTSHADE" was originally released in May of 2012 on cassette, for a short tour in Japan. Although there were 50 or 60 copies made, only about 30 or 40 of them ever got assembled and out, so it's fair to say it won't be popping-up in stores anytime soon. Originally inspired by a deep, nocturnal journey that took place in New Zealand earlier this year, these tracks were made as a devotion to the spiritual elements of the infinite space of the night sky. Electric & acoustic guitars, and vocals run through guitar-synthesizer and other electronics, calling back to the voices in the sky. A small, dark stage in the open air, a light drawing constellation trails on the hills, underneath the infinite sky of the southern hemisphere. Recorded Spring 2012 in a big, empty house in Portland.






much more to come soon, so stay tuned!! 
peace-

New digital-EP "Surrogate Channels" available for download

hello all,
since things have gotten so busy in the past couple years, i've unfortunately been unable to keep up with all the cassette, and smaller-run releases that i had been doing.. While I had never really been into using internet-based venues for getting my music out in the past, it recently dawned on me that releasing some of the more "unofficial" jams digitally wouldn't be the worst thing ever to happen, so I will be starting to put out some things via a bandcamp page, the first being a new EP called "SURROGATE CHANNELS", recorded spring and summer of 2012 at home, in Portland.

http://markmcguire.bandcamp.com/album/surrogate-channels-ep


more to come soon, including the digital version of "Nightshade", the cassette I made for my tour in Japan this year.. lots of music coming soon..
peace and love,
mm

2k12 : THE MIX : PART ONE

greetings fellow human-beings, reptilians, small-greys, large-greys, descendents of the old atlanteans of old, and any other critters that are lurking around out there..
to help culminate some of the great time-cycles and recent metaphysical goings-on, as well as to shrare some of the space my brain has been occupying this year, i have prepared a mixtape series containing music from many different times and places, as well the voices and minds of some of my favorite 20th/21st century thinkers...getting right to business with my main man, Michael Tsarion, as he clears up what was actually foretold about 2012, the influence of the cycle of Pluto and it's relation to the spirit of rebellion, "consensus-trance", and how the traumatic catastrophes that threaten us as a species are nothing more than psychic epidemics..

excerpt;

 " ...you can't talk about 2012 without the whole idea of prophecy, and prediction..but when it comes to predictions, there are many of them..down through the centuries...the message of the dissolution, the atrophy, has been long..here from the puranas, who you can't even date - they're so many thousands of years old...

Purana:
       'there will be contemporary monarchs reigning over the earth. kings of curlish spirit, violent temperament, ever-addicted to falsehood and wickedness.. they will inflict death upon women, children, and cows. they will seize upon the property of their subjects, and be intent upon the wives of others. they will be of unlimited power and their lives will be short, but their desires - insatiable.. 
   people of various countries intermingling with them will follow their example - wealth and piety will decrease, until the world will be wholly-depraved. property, alone, will confer rank. wealth will be the only source of devotion, passion will be the sole bond of union between the sexes. falsehood, will be the only means of success and litigation. And women, will be objects merely of sensual gratification. external types will be the only distinction of the several orders of life. a man, if rich, will be reputed pure. dishonesty will be the universal means of subsistence. weakness, the cause of dependence. menace and presumption will be substituted for learning. liberality will be devotion, mutual assent will be marriage, fine clothes will be dignity. he who is strongest will reign...'

Hermes Trismegistus (150 AD) :
   'so the gods will depart from mankind. a grievous thing, and only evil angels will remain, who will mingle with men and drive the poor-wretches by force into all matters of wreckless crime; into wars, robberies, and frauds, and all things hostile to the nature of the soul. darkness will be preferred to light, and death will be thought-of more profitable than life. the pious will be deemed insane, and the impious, wise. the madmen will be thought-of brave men, and the wicked, will be esteemed as good.'

from the Norse Edda:
  'then saw she wade in heavy streams, men...foul murderers and perjurers, and them whose others wives seduced to sin. Brothers to slay brothers; sisters' children shed each others blood. Hard is the world, sensual sin grows huge. These are the sword ages, the axe ages, shields are cleft and twain. Storm ages, murder ages, 'til the world falls dead.."

from The Celts (5000 BC):
      '...we are to be followed by something awful that comes later....the approaching end of the divine age, and the coming of a new one - in which the summers would be flowerless, the cows; milk-less, the women; shameless, and the men; strengthless. In which there would be trees without fruit, and seas without fish. When old men would give false judgements, and legislators would make unjust laws. When warriors would betray one another, and men would be thieves, and there would be no more virtue in the world...'

 ...look outside the window...she was right. Now, whether these guys are tracking the zodiac, and the divination, etc..it really doesn't matter. The point being, these people knew something was coming. They were obedient to the cycles of time, they studied nature and understood that if you have a summer that it will be followed by a winter. That there are winter cycles that not only consciousness goes through that also nature goes through..."

-Michael Tsarion


2012: THE MIX:
VOLUME ONE : THE END OF CIVILIZATION


featuring Michael Tsarion (from his presentations, "2012: The Future of Mankind" and "The Destruction of Atlantis")


Musical Accompaniment:
-  Arvo Part/Michel Redolfi - ROAD CHIEF REMIX - "across the sacred seas of time" (excerpt one)

McGuire + Scheible COLLAB LP OUT NOW!! // ATP NYC 2012

well...it's been out for a minute i guess. been too busy to post it up, but out this summer on  MUSIC FELLOWSHIP is a new full length LP that I did back in 2009 with Cleveland percussionist/everything-ist Nate Scheible

Label Desciption:

"     In the summer of 2009, preeminent ambient guitarist Mark McGuire recorded with Cleveland mainstay jazz and rock drummer Nate Scheible. Mark's key compositions have been either solo guitar or collaboration with keyboardists, including Emeralds, Inner Tube (with Skaters' Charles Berlitz) and Skyramps (with Oneohtrix Point Never), so this presents one of the few recordings of Mark collaborating with a drummer and was captured pristinely in studio at Cleveland's own Zombie Proof. Recorded shortly before Mark's classic Living With Yourself solo album, these recordings capture Mark in all his pre-"South Beach" optimism and boundless exploration of sound, while he and Nate playfully and joyously rip through a variety of styles and zones – "super slowed down ambient seagull jamz, super rhythmic almost rock jamz, overloaded free jazz style blasters, tonz o' fun!"
Mastered by James Plotkin for a one time pressing of 500 vinyl LPs.     "







 Direct orders can be placed through the label, and I will have a few copies popping up at shows..



Speaking of show, will be performing at the upcoming ALL TOMORROW'S PARTIES in NYC....




Going to be a wylde tyme, let's see NYC get nasty!!



Been an incredibly busy year, going to write lots more soon, as there are lots of releases, shows, and projects developing that will probably start seeing some light soon. 

...and for any Road Chieferz out there...BODY WASH 2k12 end of summer cooldown mixtape is near completion..been so many sick jams this summer it was hard to even keep them straight in my head!

lots, lots, lots more soon!


peace and love,
mark
