It is with great sadness that we heard of the recent passing of Joey Chainsaw. Joey was working with Poems In Stone on the recording of their new album, Membranes, and although we only met Joey a couple of times we looked forward to future collaborations. Our thoughts are with Joey's family and friends, RIP Joey, you were one of a kind.

A beautiful gate-fold packaging, heavy on image, lovely to hold and explore, supported by Tenzenmen DIY distro from Australia, and reproduced through Dualplover, AUS.

So we have come up with a pre-order special! For the sum of £20 you will get a copy of the album (12" vinyl in a hand finished sleeve with a woodcut print), a CD of bonus material and a very limited print (30 x 36cm sheet size with full margins on 310gsm acid free archival paper), by Matt Lord, the genius behind Poems In Stone.These pre-orders are limited to only 20. Please get in touch or click on the artwork if you are interested in this pre-order special!

Poems in Stone - Membranes

There is a line that walks between us in mixed attitude of 'praising the otherness' and perhaps more simply 'giving voice to voids'. Poems in Stone accepts the dualistic journey in action threefold and purpose only cubiform. Presenting in auxiliary bodies each a Lunar side selection of songs sans narrative to be met, skinned and worn in parallel to ''Psychoduct'' the Solar side homage to Mayan King and visionary Pacal Votan.

Tracklisting / recording & personnel details.

Lunar Side

1. Silver Umbilical 2. Plain Arrow Of The Naked Arc 3. House Inside The Life Unlived

4. Dissolving Song 5.The River Is 6. Cone Of Ash 7. City At The End

Solar side

1. Psychoduct

The ‘Solar' side will be recorded at the University of Plymouth on the 13 and 14 June, with the ‘Lunar' side and mixing of the whole album to be done somewhere in Brittany, France in July. Recording duties are been handled by ex BBC sound wizard Richard Douglas-Green. http://www.green.ltd.uk/

Joey Chainsaw on guitar who is the equivalent of a nuclear tidal wave through an amp, very present within the underground and prolific maker of deep saturating noise that transcends and then transcends.http://www.myspace.com/joeeychainsaw

Limited to 20 copies only! Next up are 10" 'pizza box' lathe cuts from Poems In Stone (Sept/Oct) and Katapulto's second album (Nov/Dec).

13 April 2010
onec is pleased as punch to announce details of our next release! It is Mark Greenwood's 'White Mice, All Colours', x 2 CD's with a 20 page booklet and housed in a DVD case, limited to 100 copies only!

Greenwood has been writing and performing poetry and text since 2005. White Mice, All Colours represents five years of work with a number of visual and sonic collaborators including Alastair MacLennan, Matt Lord, Nicolas Grew, Andrew Prior, Stephen Cornford, Pete Davies and the Institute for Digital Art and Technologies.

Greenwood uses a number of experimental tactics to generate text works including site specific encounters with memorials and monuments, uses of lexicon and reference books, notations from performance actions and chance procedures that incorporate horse racing, card games and the recycling of overheard conversation. Poetic patterns and minimal narratives re-configured to present a series of works which explore the darker sides of identity and ‘otherness’.

The title of these collected works, White Mice, All Colours comes from a Father’s recollection of a childhood in post war Tyneside – where resilience, imagination and humour became modes of survival in times of economic desperation. It is hoped that while the poems depict instances of futility, paradox and the absurd, they also communicate an optimism and goodwill that challenges modern media and how we use language.

Please listen with the hi-fi high and the lights down low, whilst smoking your favourite pipe.
