"Full title: My lord Music, I most humbly beg your indulgence in the hope that you will do me the honour of permitting this seed called Keiji Haino to be planted within you. For over 25 years, Keiji Haino has used the hurdy gurdy to channel dark dimensions -- creating music that bridges the centuries between distant medieval eras and a future awash in densely layered sounds that grind and float in an otherworldly atmosphere. My lord Music... is a suite of nine pieces that reveals the startlingly distinctive and wide range of Haino's approach to the instrument. The music is at once dissonant and hypnotic, rich with unfurling drones that dynamically ebb and flow -- Haino's musical sensibility and physicality, always present and unmistakable. Keiji Haino - Hurdy Gurdy. Recorded April 7, 2019 at Zebulon, Los Angeles, California. Recorded and mixed by Toshi Kasai. Mastering by Elysian Masters. Photographs by Kazuyuki Funaki. Design by Takuya Kitamura. Translation by Alan Cummings. Performance produced by Black Editions and Blum & Poe Gallery as part of Parergon: Japanese Art of the 1980s and 1990s curated by Mika Yoshitake.

My lord Music... is the first release in Haino's newly relaunched Purple Trap imprint, produced in collaboration with Black Editions and personally supervised by the artist himself. Purple Trap will present the full breadth of Keiji Haino's works through both archival recordings and newly recorded pieces, all made available in small one-time physical editions as well as on digital platforms. Double vinyl housed in pure black paper gatefold with metallic silver printing and black paper inner sleeves. More limited than God intended when he invented the word "limited", unfortunately..." - Black Editions.

After nearly a decade of false starts, multiple game plans veering off the rails, and a handful of shattered hopes and/or dreams, the odyssey is finally complete—the new Fusetron site is here.

This is the first phase of a multipart rollout that will span the next few months: the currently browsable stock includes miscellaneous new releases from the past 8+ months (we have a lot of catching up to do), plus approximately a third of our backstock. Note that we’ve reduced/slashed prices on many titles and will continue to do so in order to make room for new stock. We’ll also be expanding / tweaking / improving / debugging the site itself (for example, we still have work to do on the automated international postage system, not to mention the inevitable inventory discrepancies that come with transferring an ancient and massive database to a new system).

Over the next few months, as we take inventory, clean house, and delve into our storage, we will be uploading thousands of additional items, gradually, on a near-daily basis. This will include the majority of the LPs, as well as many titles, in all formats, once thought long-gone. Many currently “sold out” items are likely to resurface.

Finally, once our general backstock is up (probably in the next two or three months) we’ll begin making our extensive stockpile of rarities available online for the first time: tons of random out-of-print titles, "deadstock," warehouse finds, secondhand collectibles, etc., accumulated over the past few decades.

Frequent/returning customers will be getting early access to these items. Details to follow on how this will work (a priority mailing list? a 'frequent flyer'-like program?), but it will not be based on dollars spent. We want to reward those who consistently support us, especially in the discogs marketplace era (to those who show up trying to poach five copies of a one-off rarity, and nothing else, ever… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ).

So—we suggest you take some time to dig through the site—even we’ve been surprised by what’s been turning up, and there’s much more to come.
I understand these terms
