Void Tactical Update for Nov 2013. Siskyou Operation.

+ Cry of the Peacocks - Teeth and Tail - FS013 - Released!

Extracted from material recorded live at Katabatik Campout 2012 deep in
the heart of the Stanilaus National Forest. Teeth and Tail marks Cry of
the Peacocks first official release, a window into several years of live
collaboration between experimental noise artist Key and Void Tactical
label head Split Horizon. Since emerging from a snowstorm in Detroit on
winter solstice 2008, Cry of the Peacocks has explored spaces from
ecosystem soundscapes to industrial bass. On Teeth & Tail we find them
communing with that most raw and vehement creature: the possum.

Album artwork by Key, mastered by Selector Catalogue.

2 track EP. + Bonus track (full mix of Tail)

transformation.

"Maps are synonymous with how we see the world, both in mentally and in
media.  Cartography attempts to organize the infinite information of our
physical existence, creating areas and structures that we can contemplate
and discuss.  This practice defines space, and as a consquence divides
space with tremendous consequences politically, commercially, and
ecologically.  This talk will contrast several different ways we have
ordered our apprehension of geography.  A main point will be that these
processes of map creation are always subjective and encode specific
motivations and outcomes, particularly in the disconnect between virtual
ownership boundaries and ecological structures.  The talk with conclude
with several suggestions for engagement in this contested media as well as
action beyond mediation."
