It was mastered by Andrew and released on Of Plants.

Rough Weather is Erik Schoster on computer and electronics and Brendan Landis on guitar. A little over a year ago, they started improvising together on occasional Sundays when Brendan lived in Berkeley and Erik lived in San Francisco. A number of graphic scores, sound games, and confused roommates later, the Rough Weather project began to emerge. Their music focuses on non-idiomatic improvisation and textural play.

Erik (He Can Jog, Cedar AV) is a computer musician from Wisconsin. He looks for nice ways to shove traditional song into an acousmatic space without ditching too much of what’s good about both.

Brendan (Hey Exit, Crust) is a Californian living in Brooklyn. He listens to a lot of rock music, studies koto, and is an improviser at most things in life.

Slow Names is an hour of improvised guitar, contact mics, and vocals. Recorded in Oakland, California; summer to fall '09.

The outer packaging is made of banana leaves, cut and sewn together. Within a day or so, the leaves dry up and becomes pretty useless. The inner packaging includes a poster, a sticker, and a small note.

Mastered by Beau Sievers. Contains no overdubs, temporal edits, or modulation effects (except that one track, which has long vocal overdubs). Thx James Kaiser for recording track 4 at The Totally Intense Fractal Mindgaze Hut. Released under a creative commons attribution-share alike license.

It's Small in Here is twenty minutes of improvised guitar, microphones, and mixer feedback. Recorded in Berkeley, California; March '10.

The outer case is made of string, wrapped around the booklet and disc and then painted. Once the disc is opened for the first time, the case pretty much turns into garbage.
