"Gathered Out Of Thin Air" is a new Half-handed Cloud (John Ringhofer) double LP compilation of sixty freshly mastered, non-LP singles, EPs, and rarities, recorded throughout the band's second decade (2010-2019) in many different places, including Berkeley, California; Brussels, Belgium; Pretoria, South Africa; and Helsinki, Finland.
The "Gathered Out Of Thin Air" title is kind of half true.
"Gathered?" Absolutely. These songs come from all over the world, in multiple formats, and have been compiled from an array of seventeen different releases. Some of the sixty songs have thus far only seen digital release (such as 2015's twin home-taped sound collage pop releases "Foiled EP N°1" & "Foiled EP N°2"), while others were released only on vinyl (2011's "DOVE" EP [which now features a new mix], and 2012's "Blood Brothers" EP).
One 7-inch EP collected here consists entirely of analog synthesizer song experiments (2016's "Jiminy Circuits"), and a significant batch of hard-to-find loose tracks were originally released on various compilations - digital, compact disc, given out with a festival ticket, or along with a CD-R zine compilation.
