 NEW Martin Tielli subscription series
In 2003, Martin committed to the most tragically
ambitious music project to come out of Canada's
independent music scene in a very long time: four wildly divergent CDs, packaged in collector's edition tin cases with original artwork by Tielli, one year for delivery. It didn't quite happen.
Two have been delivered -- Operation Infinite Justice and Schoenberg Cabarets. The albums have been recorded; the artwork is nearly finished, leading to the announcement that the remaining subscription albums will be issued to subscribers very soon! Orginally hoped to be released in the fall of 2008, the original artwork for this double album remains to be completed, and, when it is ....
Originally titled The Ghost of Danny G and New Gold, the new album embraces a common theme and will be called ...
... The Ghost
of Danny Gross, Part 1 and Part 2 .
The seeds of this recording were planted with
Nick Buzz. Now in full gear, this will be a
portrait of rural southern Ontario inside the
true and complex story of a haunted town. Be

An advance report from an early listener is that "the work is staggering in its beauty."
A small number
of subscriptions are still available. Each CD is delivered in a numbered, collector's edition tin box.
Total subscription price: $100 plus tax (extra
shipping for international orders). Upon ordering,
you will receive a voucher specifying your "limited
edition" number and receipt.
To order, visit Six
Shooter Records. In the meantime ...

Previous show now online
The Schumann-inspired Art of Time ensemble and guests concert of December '07 (see below) is finally available for listeners on-line. Click here to have a listen to three-quarters of Nick Buzz -- Martin Tielli, Jon Goldsmith and Rob Piltch.
Beth Hamill, a transplanted Yank whose heart was stopped at the Canadian border when it tried to declare its love for Canadian music, shoots bands as an expression of that love. She took this pic of Martin and his Nick Buzz cohorts with the Art of Time ensemble during the December concert featuring Schumann’s Piano Quintet Op. 44 and 10 original songs written and performed by Canadian singer/songwriters inspired by the quintet. Visit Rock / /Paper // Pixels for other examples of Beth's work.
