RELEASE DAY! Today is the official release of Eric Wubbels / Charmaine Lee / Weston Olencki - Field of Action / contraposition. This one has been in the works for some time, and a lot of people (especially Eric, Charmaine, and Weston) worked very hard on what we think is a truly incredible album. The music is detailed and challenging, but also beautiful and rewarding of repeat listens. It is unlike anything we've released on OOYH Records, and we are beyond excited to share this with you. Another track, 'index' from FoA, is streaming as the featured track on Bandcamp today. If you haven't had a chance to check out 'NEGATIVE' from contraposition, which was released Tuesday, that is streaming as well. Please do give them a listen!

We have a ton of cool physical and digital options for this one (including the beautiful hand-written score for contraposition by Eric himself), and a huge thanks for our great friend TJ Huff (huffart.com) for the perfect artwork and LP design. All are available on Bandcamp (link in the comments), and options include:

-Vinyl + PDF Score of contraposition
-Digital + PDF Score of contraposition
-Vinyl or Digital Only
-LIMITED Test Pressing on 180g vinyl, signed by Wubbels/Lee/Olencki (only 5 available)
-Surprise physical drop later today, and we'll email when it is ready (also very limited)

Vinyl is unfortunately slightly delayed, but we hope to have it soon and will begin shipping immediately after it arrives. In addition to the art credit, photo credit to TJ Huff. We very much hope you enjoy this music, and thank you for the continued support!

Eric Wubbels / Charmaine Lee / Weston Olencki - Field of Action / contraposition (OOYH 013) is a split LP, and the continuation of a series of duo pieces for piano and other instruments that Wubbels has been pursuing since 2006. Field of Action is a composition in collaboration with vocalist and noise artist Charmaine Lee that grew out of the mutual desire for two musicians (Lee predominantly an improviser, and Wubbels primarily a creator and interpreter of written music) to find a shared zone in which to create. The resulting Field of Action is without parallel or easy comparison. contraposition was born of a similarly intense collaborative process between Wubbels and trombonist Weston Olencki, working together over months to develop and refine a singular world of sound and techniques for the trombone and prepared piano, which Wubbels then crafted into a four-movement tour-de-force of sonic creativity and expressive impact.
