I Am Subsisty

About Me

The Dodecahedron EP is now available, thanks to Paypal. Each one has been handmade, and they are all individually numbered from one to 100. Buy it for the measly price of £5 plus £1 postage by clicking here (don't worry if you don't have a Paypal account, you can purchase using a credit or debit card):
Born in Glasgow in 2006, I Am Subsisty is a new musical project with an electronic output confined within certain constraints.
In 2007 I Am Subsisty presented a collection of five tracks, which combined run to a length of seventeen minutes and fifty-four seconds. Descriptive of a single night in his life, the CDs title is Dodecahedron EP, and it is now available for only £5.
There are only ever going to be 100 copies of this concept EP, and each one is handmade by designer James Boynton. They look ever so lovely, and are probably worth purchasing for the packaging alone, which you can view at James's website . The EP has been mastered by Tim Turan (The Young Knives/Jimmy Eat World/Marilyn Manson) at Turan Audio Ltd.
