Following our inaugural release of the Dungeon Acid & Mx. Silkman tour tape “Kängraven // Drömmusik” , I am pleased to make available four new releases on the Seith Communiti multimedia imprint.
SC.002 – nonsite – in error (c-36)
Five tracks of churning technoid gravel written and recorded by nonsite. Moves seamlessly through shredding Den Haag-esque fallout zone rave, unnerving modular freefall pinned onto half-time thud, and field-recording-augmented languid dub for hot concrete rooms. Mastering by K. Bednar, album artwork by Derek Peel. Limited to 50 copies c-36 physical edition and digital download.
SC.003 – Mirai – Total Crash (c-46)
Four propulsive tracks awash in freeparty psychedelia. High-BPM excursions for jubilant neo-illegalist rejoicing around the communal tire-fire. A fullthroated howl in defiance of the technostate. Tracks assembled by ae and Ben Versluis (aka Worker/Parasite). Mastered by K. Bednar. Art and text by ae. Limited to 50 copies c-46 physical edition and digital download.
SC.004 – Tom Nomad – “Pacifism”
An unearthed text from 2009, with haunting relevance still today as we fight for total liberation against the state, the spectral terror of fascism and the recuperation of rage by the neoliberal handmaidens of order. Anarchist writer and tactician Tom Nomad, author of “The Master’s Tools” and “Toward An Army Of Ghosts” presents us with an unmasking of the polite authoritarianism of pacifist activism and a plea to break free from the will of the peace police towards the goal of confounding and destabilizing the state. 20-page zine, limited to 50 copies with risograph-printed jackets. Physical edition only. Full text is freely available via The Anarchist Library, unauthorized reproduction is encouraged.
SC.005 – Farplane – “Four Rights Of Transmutation” 2xc90 mixtape
Farplane is a Chicago duo known for their longform meditative assemblages that focus on deep and intentional listening, hazy textural sound and submerged rhythmic psychedelia. Here, they have assembled an ambitious mix that amounts to a nearly-three-hour exploration of both Love and Fear. There is a small amount of empty space at the end of each of the four cassette sites – a brief pause at the seams of each movement that allows the silence of the room to wash over the listener before indulging in the next spiral. Selected and arranged by Glenna Fitch and Alex Bond. Mastered by K. Bednar. Limited to only 23 copies, physical edition only. Proceeds from the sale of these physical copies (beyond the costs of mastering and printing) will be donated to The Okra Project.

All releases are available in physical (or for some, digital) form via the Seith Communiti bandcamp page.
This expansion of the project Seith Communiti continues as a more formal multimedia imprint that shares the name of this, my personal website. My aim is to create a platform and physical relics of subversive, autonomous, experimental and challenging art across mediums of text, art and sound. I hope to use this platform to release objects by artists whose work I enjoy. It is a Do-It-Yourself operation without desire for participating in the structure of professionalized gatekeeping and greased-palms of PR and paid “journalistic” coverage. I simply hope to leave behind a small pocket of interesting subcultural objects for people to encounter now and sometime in the future – just as I and my likeminded peers have done in our search for objects embedded with ideas and experiences unique to time and place.
As far as transparency goes, it is my intention to give artists participating in the imprint 20% of the physical edition of their product to be sold at their discretion. The remaining 80% will be sold to fund further editions of the label (except for mixtapes, where the proceeds will be donated to various political causes beyond the cost of production). Digital sales will be distributed at a rate of 40% to the artist, 10% to the mastering engineer and then the remaining 50% donated to various political causes and mutual aid funds.
All orders will ideally ship within a week of purchase. Please allow time for items to arrive given the current strain facing the postal system.
ALSO – item SC.001 is available for streaming from our bandcamp page but is SOLD OUT in physical form. Please do not purchase this item digitally from us (it is listed at $777 to discourage this). The Dungeon Acid side of this split tape is available for digital purchase directly from Jean Louis’ bandcamp page.
Be well,
ae
