ballast nvp060: animist ark + 2023 (3 x CDR, lathe, objects, supplemental materials)

some 20 years ago in 2003, the animist ark project—a collaboration by Eric Lunde and Jeph Jerman—appeared. this was a 2 x CDR set with objects in a hand-painted wooden box. the edition was seven copies, and very little information attended its release.

that same year, Jerman and Lunde released a CDR under the name “animist motors:” the edition number was not released, and again, very little information attended its release.

this ballast reissue, which comes in a painted reel to reel box with linocut stamping, contains all three animist recordings, a 7” lathe composed from original animist ark project source material (one side by Eric, one side by Jeph), objects, and supplemental items.





in the original edition, it was suggested that the CDR labeled “random” could be played back in a randomized /shuffle format. for this ballast edition, each copy of the “random” disc was shuffled before being burned to further facilitate that effort.

edition of 21 signed and numbered copies.

$36 ppd in the US: overseas, please get in touch, as I am currently completing paperwork with the US Department of Agriculture for shipping regulations.
