Big announcement today, everyone, the debut of BIOS is finally available. It's called Retiring to Palermo to Make Apple Whine and it's one of OKSRNA's finest releases to date (if I do so say myself).

BIOS is an electro-acoustic improvising trio featuring yours truly Bill Byrne of the Painful Leg Injuries, and the Harmful Free Radicals, John Ibarra of El Plan De Aguavodka and Marco Oppedisano. We recorded this back in 2007, the tracks are long improvisations two come from our rehearsal sessions in Queens, NY, and one track is our live debut from 2/17/07, at the Monkey NYC.

Also included with the CD is a DVD of the above-mentioned Monkey NYC performance. To order your copy from CD Baby click here.

In other news, Barry Seroff's begun a new podcast series this week with Jackson Songs. These tracks were recorded during the period of time Barry's wife was in the hospital giving birth to their son Jackson back in March. These tracks are lovely Derek Bailey-esque solo acoustic guitar improvisations that show Barry's excellent ability to restrain his performance, and his mastery of the guitar, I'm sure you will enjoy.

The latest podcast from El Plan De Aguavodka is an epic called DataOnlyDietCanSurvive. If you think John's out to make you nauseous, he is. Finally the latest subharmonic synth improvisation from The Painful Leg Injuries is available, the unsurprisingly titled SNHB2.

Until next week.
