ET 004: GAMAN - A CEREMONY FOR JAPAN

Limited to 200 Copies on Clear Pro-Dubbed 2xCS 

The 2x Cassette/Digital curated compliation on Electric Temple Records entitled “Gaman: A Ceremony for Japan” is a benefit directly contributing the recovery of Japan. We have all been troubled by the happenings across the sea, but for almost all musicians in the experimental music scene, Japan is a place of sacred innovation, inimitable soul, and a relentless discipline unlike any other country. We know this will carry over in to the recovery process of the current natural disasters, but for us musicians, this is a small token of our appreciation for the things we’ve been given by such a beautiful country with so much tradition. All proceeds will go to Shelterbox: http://www.shelterbox.org/. This organization provides emergency shelter and lifesaving supplies for families around the world who are affected by disasters at the time when they need it the most. They also are currently set up in Japan, making sure these beautiful gifts are affecting families one by one. As the benefit proceeds, we will be tracking the boxes that make it to families in Japan — that way each and every one of us that contributed know directly how we are helping and influencing, at least in some small way. Thanks to John Kolodij, John Twells, Nicole Yalaz, Rich Guzman (for the art!) and National Audio Company for their immense help in making this project a reality. Please join us in donating a small token for those in need. THANKS TO NAC FOR DONATING ALL 200 TAPES
