One of my favorite DS releases this year, I really love the lightness of touch on this release 10/10

Same here, I've really been enjoying this one, thank you SiderealFortress!

[stormcrow]

thanks to you, sir! This makes me think about a reissue...  

...but not now. Now it's time for the new Sidereal Fortress album, out on November 30th via HDK!

so sad I'm the only supporter here....this means no one bought this EP in 5+ years!
BTW, I really love the winter-synth atmosphere that the artist creates with textures and even some dissonance. This album is not about melodic themes but, if taken from the "ambient" side, it surely worths a listen.

I remember this artist being somewhat prolific back in the day. His simplistic art always stood out to me. The 'Spirit of Winter" EP is a good one. Strange lack of winter synth being made these days but maybe that'll change soon enough!

The new Der Dustere Tag album - wow, this surprised me, there's a real "dark jazz" feel to it, very inspiring!

It would be nice to have physical releases of my music, but I find it impractical right now.  The cost of production might not justify the demand, and the high cost of shipping outside of Canada is ridiculous. I wouldn't feel comfortable charging people $9-13 for a cassette tape, and that's how much it would cost to get it out of the country. The distribution logistics make it difficult for me to justify spending that sort of money right now. 

Unless there's a label that wants to make me an offer that's respectable (Xeroxed j-card scammers can fuck off), Aufhocker releases will remain available in digital formats. 

The music is released under a very liberal Creative Commons license, so if you wish to make your own copy of the album, feel free to do so.  DIY.

I'd be surprised if you couldn't get a (non xeroxed j-card scammer) label to put out your stuff though, have you asked any?

I have not.  Has anyone compiled a list of contact information for DS-centric labels?
