Ecotone (CDr)
Format: CDr
Release Date: June 2010
Release is limited to 100 copies.
More Details
One might already know that an Ecotone is a transitional area between two different ecosystems, such as a forest and a grassland. In landscape ecology, an Ecotone is the border area where two patches meet that have different ecological composition. This version of Ecotone is Tim Foljahn and Kirsten McCord. While this release explores the subtleties and nuances of electronic notation drone, sweeping melodies, ominous tones and midnight Parisian disco dreams, the focus of this release displays the composer sides of Tim and Kirsten; both of whom have an enormous list of collaborations under their belts - including Tim's work with Two Dollar Guitar, Mosquito, Cat Power, Thurston Moore, Townes Van Zandt, Boredoms, and Megan Reilly. Kirsten has also kept busy over the years working with Elliott Smith, Rex, Azalia Snail, Sunburned Hand of the Man, Vic Chesnutt, Wharton Tiers Project, Home, and Perhaps Transparent's own Pothole Skinny.

More Details
Track Listing (Excerpt):
1). Another View of the Gate (40:04)
Excerpt from the liner notes:
"SAYAS - You must LISTEN. You must listen through the noise. You must listen through the chaos. If this song is yours then it is in your heart. You must play from your heart, listen from your heart. Then you will hear your music. It will play through you and you will not miss a note. What is going on outside does not matter. What matters is that you can be in this moment, that you can be truly with yourself and not out there. To be a great at anything, you must be able to listen. Beyond that, you must always find a pleasure in listening. You are not here to please this crowd. You are here to play through this chaos and please yourself and through this you shall attain an infinite awareness of the present. "

P.G. Six - Live at VPRO Amsterdam (CDr)
Format: CDr
Release Date: Feb. 2010
Release is limited to 100 copies.
More Details
1. Come In / Winter it is Passed (6:33)
2. Young Man / Lake of Beer / High, Low, and In Between (9:36)
3. Divine Invasion (2:06)
4. The Shepherd (2:26)
5. Go Your Way (4:55)
6. Old Man on the Mountain / Evening Comes (7:03)
In 2001 Amish Records (CD) and Perhaps Transparent Records (LP) released P.G. Six’s acclaimed debut full length “Parlor Tricks and Porch Favorites”. The album which was received with great reviews reflects the pastoral sounds of late sixties and early seventies British folk groups like The Incredible String Band and Fairport Convention. It was mixed by Tim Barnes who also added his flavor of percussion on tracks like ‘When I Was A Young Man”, “The Divine Invasion”, “Go Your Way” and “The Shepherd” – all of which are also featured on this Live recording from VPRO radio in Amsterdam. Since “Parlor Tricks..”, the collaborations between P.G. Six and Tim Barnes were frequent but rarely fully documented. This Live CDr recorded at The Dwars Festival by VPRO radio in Amsterdam, is one of those rare moments.

Terrascope Online Reviews by Jeff Penczak
This limited edition disc kicks off Perhaps Transparent’s CDr series, each release limited to 100 copies and housed in 100% recycled packaging with custom artwork using natural walnut inked handmade stamps created by artist Kim Jones. So, it looks as great as it sounds! The disc presents a rare complete live performance from Pat Gubler, accompanied by percussionist Tim Barnes on November 13, 2004 at the first annual Dwars Festival in Amsterdam at the Desmet Studio of Dutch national radio station VPRO. (Terrascope favourites Glenn Jones and the late Jack Rose also performed at the event.) Opening, appropriately, with ‘Come In,’ Barnes’ percussive intro sounds like a kettle drum before Gubler’s relaxed acoustic strumming meets up with Barnes’ switch to tabla effects as the song forms a perfectly medley with the traditional Irish tune, ‘Winter it is Passed.’
Another medley follows that weaves ‘Young Man’ and ‘Lake of Beer’ around Townes Van Zandt’s sonically similar ‘High, Low, and In Between.’ You’d never know you were listening to three different songs if Gubler hadn’t announced his intentions beforehand! Barnes’ sedated tapping propels the track(s) forward, but there is plenty of breathing room for Gubler’s intricate, spellbinding guitar lines.
The intimate studio setting sounds like the pair are playing the front room in front of a couple of friends, so the mood is relaxed throughout, not too dissimilar from Pat’s laidback performance at Terrastock VI in Providence in 2006. A couple of tracks from his 2001 debut Parlor Tricks and Porch Favorites, including a confident interpretation of Anne Brigg’s ‘Go Your Way’ and another medley, ‘Old Man on the Mountain’/’Evening Comes’ (this one featuring Barnes on a ukelin, a stringed instrument similar to a zither that adds a haunting, almost Oriental, VU-styled air to the tunes similar to John Cale’s dark, cello embellishments) round out the set. A wonderful opening salvo for the series, we’re anxious to hear more.
