OUT NOW:
Rippers and Creepers Mixtape Vol. 1 (2008)
Catalog# PSR-0030
Cassette (C69)
35 tracks in 69 minutes! Rippers and Creepers is an eclectic mixtape and aural document featuring a killer clutch of underground artists, a snapshot of the “grotesque sounds of now”. Each group/artist contributes one short two-minute piece that either "rips" or "creeps" based on their own interpretation. The tracks compiled have been collaged and stitched together to make one long continuous track on each side of the tape resulting in a non-interrupted journey beyond the fringe. Curated and with artwork by Todd Brooks, Rippers and Creepers is a part of Pendu Org’s continued efforts to promote “esoteric ostranenie of contemporary weirdo culture”. This is first in a series that will be released quarterly. Rippers and Creepers Mixtape Vol. 2 will come out in June.

------------------------------------------------
Founded in 2003 by artist and curator Todd Brooks, Pendu Org is an arts organization and curatorial project based in Brooklyn, NY dedicated to the bricoleur and the promotion of spontaneous and intuitive arts. Pendu Org functions as an underground hub documenting eclectic cultural and artistic actions that share a commonality of expressive, frenetic, or ad hoc approaches to making art. The mission manifests as an art gallery , a record label , and bookshop ; an holistic triad enabling presentations of a wide-range of ideas in art, music, and writing. Pendu Org exists as an enabler; encouraging, inspiring, and fostering artists.
------------------------------------------------
Additionally, Pendu Org books shows for bands and curates off-site projects for artists locally in NYC / Brooklyn. Artist, bands, and venues should email info(at)pendu.org for more info. Check out live videos and images from recent and past events put on by Pendu Productions here . Pendu has curated music events with Axolotl, Nonhorse, Slasher Risk, Pontiak, Teeth Mountain, Terrible Eagle, Millions, Paranoid Critical Revolution, Stellar Om Source, White Hills, Orphan, K.P. Matt Mottel, Brian Osborne, Spin-17, and more.

A little about me...
I am founder/director of The Pendu Organization as well as an independent curator/show-promoter, musician, writer, and visual artist. As musician, I play prepared guitar, oscillators, and electronics in Ghost Moth (with Daniel Carter), Abuse Report , CM (formerly Mialessot), Barkminer , and Feral Comb. I have published a book of collected poetic-texts entitled "Analekta: Semantic Texts" and am currently working on a non-fiction work tentatively titled " Bouzingo Means Noise " about a relatively obscure French literary collective from the 19th century that included some famous figures including Gerard de Nerval, Theophile Gautier, Petrus Borel, and others. I also write music reviews and features for the online magazine Foxy Digitalis .
Le Pendu is a French word meaning the HANGED-MAN or the HANGING and refers simultaneously to the hanging suicide of Gérard de Nerval and the 12th card of the Major Acana of the Tarot.
