From Dave's notes:

"Liquid Audion Dave Fuglewicz
Released in October, 2000"

"Liquid Audion was released in October of the year 2000. This would mark the end of my analog only recordings on my solo releases. I would still be analog-only on the Lost City releases with Pete Comely.
My equipment at this time: ARP 2600, ARP Odyssey, ARP Sequencer, Roland TR-707 Drum machine, modified Casio keyboard, Digitech 7.6 Delay, several effects "stomp" boxes and some home made synthesizer modules. This release marked my first CD Release."

MAMMAL is the primary outlet for Michigan’s Gary Beauvais, who also ran the Animal Disguise label since at least 2001. MAMMAL’s tendency began with electronic noise often punctuated by drum machines. 2003’s Double Nature stands as one of my favorite fixtures of rhythmic harsh noise, and it was allegedly released on CD because an attempt at doing the vinyl edition destroyed the plate cutters, due to wild frequencies and damaging density. 2007’s Lonesome Drifter marked a distinctive shift in direction, with a more structured, more dirge-like territory that is appropriately warm and dusty. 2024’s Deserted was even more psychedelic, characterized by a bleakness that could only come from true isolation. Beauvais is also a talented visual artist with a distinctive style, who sells prints on his bandcamp page from time to time.

Apparently this lit mag has been active in some form since the '90s, but it started as a column and expanded in 2004. That would explain why the site looks like it was made in Windows '95. But I have been enjoying it. It's not the collegiate creative writing backwash that we're used to. They have print editions available, but everything is free on their site.

This is not self-promotion, although I am a trendsetter
