Zaftig Research

Zaftig Research is now open again. After a rather eventful move to Alabama We have slowly been unpacking. We were offline for about a month, so if you have emailed me and I haven't replied, I may have missed the message. I had thousands of spam to clear out and your message may have been collateral damage, so drop me another email.

It still feels like summer here, but Winter will be here before we know it. And that can mean only one thing: the annual Zaftig Research Christmas Compilation! Here is the official announcement:

As summer is starting to turn into fall, we can all start looking forward to winter. And that can mean only one thing - it's time to start thinking about the annual Zaftig Research Christmas Compilation!

After eight years of doing this, most of this should sound familiar, but here's the info anyway. Send us a track of noise, dark ambient, drone, experimental, etc. that is Christmas / holiday / winter related. This compilation is a celebration of the season, not a chance to vent how much you hate Christian holidays. If you follow some other belief system, celebrate that. After all, just about every belief system has some kind of holy time during winter. If you're new to this, check out Zaftig Research's manifesto on noise found at http://www.zaftigresearch.com/aboutzr.html. If this sounds good to you, send something.

If you need an idea of what kind of stuff we're looking for, take a look at past compilations, but here's who was on the last two: Adamisgod, Azoikum, Bardoseneticcube, Bjerga-Iversen, Black Saturn, C/A/T, chalkwhitehands, Conure, ctephin, Dead Man's Hill, DJ Saint Nick, djs, DQN-kun, Flutwacht vs. Praying for Oblivion, God Flight, Goose, Gorgonized Dorks, Guignol Dangereux, Hrönir, humanextermination project, Humidex Meat Theatre, Hypnoskull, Karl Bösmann, Kenji Siratori, Learn, Artist!, mami, Megatone, Narbenerde, Orange, Praying for Oblivion, Puffy Eyes, Sascha Neudeck, Simulacra, Stolen Light, Suspicion Breeds Confidence, The Engineer, Tonal Y Nagual, Tote Stadt, Xedh, Yeti.
