(OST) Chris says that label is his own, but I think that email address is
someone in Canada or else the guy that does the b&w art.
OST doesn't have his own email still, afaik

Distorted/filtered and syncopated heavily; great tracks for mixing, but
hard to locate the 4/4 within sometimes. He is definitively standing a
certain ground there...
I've heard the OST (Rook vallade?) tracks that are supposed to be for a
Worm Interface full-length: a pretty incredible meal for fans of Freeform
plus digital noise-rhythm stuff like Farmer's Manual "FM", etc

The sophistication is there, but the speed that we see new releases is
probably all dependant on Chris' financial status, as I have little doubt
that he has the resources, technical knowledge and commitment. I hope it
really takes off soon, as he is talented, and, uh, well.... he owes me $
for my phone!
