🚨🚨🚨 OVERSEAS POSTAGE 🚨🚨🚨
Until Bandcamp switches from a *per-unit shipping setup* to an *automatic carrier-weight calculator* that can price shipping, at checkout, based on the full order weight & destination, we are stuck with the double whammy of
1. Exorbitant USPS rates and
2. Improperly calculated total package weights at Bandcamp checkout.
// Needless to say, Silent has suffered from a loss of foreign merch sales bc of this.

✴️ After receiving a DM from a customer about this issue last night, I sent an email to Bandcamp support re: setting up a system w/ EasyPost to solve this for labels.

✴️ For our overseas customers who don't want to pay the US Postal Service's prohibitively expensive shipping costs, you can purchase the EPUB edition of my book here:

To our wonderfully supportive Silent acolytes,

If you haven't picked up a copy 📖, now is the time...it's a great summer read & will provide sound & media artists/students/profs w/ lots of brain-stim for spirited class discussions this fall.

The 📖 contains a collection of 18 essays, written over a span of 25 years, about sound art, digital music & post-digital aesthetics.

It doesn't require a PhD in Media/Sound Studies to understand; the 📖 was published as a counterbalance to the bevy of academic 📖📖📖 written on sound/music from a purely academic-materialist point of view.

If you are looking to break free from creative ruts in the studio, this 📖 might be the ticket.
💵 It will also help us pay the printer's bill. 💵

//&& If you've already purchased a copy, we give hugs for your support!!!!
