Books and Other Stuff

Finished projects and works-in-progress.

My song “TP Blues” has been chosen to be included in my friend Andrew Shaw’s new zine, “Social Distancing,” which is a project responding to, reflecting on, and/or coping with the current COVID pandemic we’re all confronting.

The zine collects poetry, essays, fiction, music, drawings, collage, photography, and embroideries, with topics ranging from emotional to academic, personal to communal, grieving to hopeful.

Pre-order it now and check out his other projects at torporhouse.com.

I just finished working on Vol. II of Prometheus Re-Bound. For this project, I’m weaving pieces of several different Frankenstein books into one Frankenstein book.

I wrote another little ditty while sheltering in place. It’s a song about holding a space together with someone you love. Hope you enjoy!

Listen/purchase: A Stopping Place by Chris Dunsmore

Just finished volume 1 in my Prometheus Re-bound project! I’m weaving lines from Frankenstein books into a single Frankenstein book, looking for interesting patterns in the lines, the text, the colors.

Another stay-at-home song to shelter in place to.

Wrote a new song to pass the time during this craziness. Hope it’s light for the dark : )

Stay healthy. Stay safe. Stay inside.

Here’s one more tune from my newest batch of songs, American Lover, which you can get on Bandcamp or anywhere really : )

Out of Bristol, UK - check out Pet Shimmers because they’re good and also because your support helps a little extra today on Bandcamp.

Here’s a cool band whose tour was affected by the pandemic shutdown. For fans of Crumb and Mac DeMarco. It’s a great day to support them by buying one of their songs or albums because Bandcamp is waiving revenue share today. If you purchase anything on Bandcamp, the artists will receive all of that money, which is really cool.

Divino Nino has a bunch more music on Bandcamp, and there are so many cool bands you could support. So give a listen and consider it.

Support musicians! Right now Bandcamp is making it really easy to do that by waiving their revenue share for today. 100% of the money you spend on artists at Bandcamp today will go directly to the artists. Which is awesome and a great way to help out musicians affected by the economic fallout of the pandemic. So buy a song or 12. Pay what you can.

I just discovered Paper Wings, and they’re great. They remind me of Gillian Welch, who I love. They’ve got two albums up on Bandcamp.

Check out my friend and occasional collaborator Andrew Shaw and his band Color Animal.

If you like their stuff and you’re able, you should buy a track or an album from them. Today is the day to do it: Bandcamp is waiving their revenue share on sales, which means artists on Bandcamp can get 100% of the money you pay for their music. Read about it here.

Andrew has other projects too:

Today is a good day to support musicians on Bandcamp if you’re able. The site is waiving their revenue share, which means artists will receive 100% of the money fans spend on their music.

You can read the full message from Bandcamp here.

I have two EPs’ worth of songs on Bandcamp, here, and I’ll be posting friends and artists I’m listening to during these strange times. Go to Bandcamp and support a small band you love by buying one of their songs!

My album American Lover is now available pretty much anywhere music is streamed. Check it out on Spotify or Apple Music or wherever you listen to stuff. Here’s the title track : )

Getting more work done on Bride of Resurrectionists!

[chrisdunsmorebooksandotherstuff]

Things are going a-okay with my plans for the next installment of the Re-cycle. Looks like I’ll be resurrecting the Resurrectionists project for a bit more fun with Frankenstein.

[chrisdunsmorebooksandotherstuff]

Finally playing around with some new book ideas! I guess this is kind of a paper quilt.

This is a song I wrote for my love. It’s called “Strawberry Moon.” The Strawberry Moon is happening tonight. Coincidence; right? : ) Go out there and enjoy it. And also, hug a dad.
