anomalous records
1999
this 10 inch white vinyl compilation of smaller works was released by anomalous records in 1999. eric lanzillota, the first and most supportive early listener of my work, graciously invited me to release someting special on his anomalous records imprint – i’d always wanted to do a 10″ white vinyl and he kept telling me he wanted to hear some of my works outside of the context of the compilations they appeared on. this limited vinyl was the result.
