about

Note: The flyer (designed by Omar of No Dreams) has the year as 2014 on it, but the show was actually in 2015. It was the record release party for Blood Rhythms' "Assembly" LP, which was released through xerox newsletters and money orders initially, when NO PART OF IT was operating as a "no net label".

A review of "Assembly" was published in the Chicago Reader, and Arvo was called by Blake Edwards to break his "no internet" streak and give some information to Philip Montoro, their music editor. Apparently, in the spirit of the time, an archive of said review is not currently available on the Chicago Reader website.

Incidentally, Arvo was interviewed about NO PART OF IT label for an article shortly after the show (January 19th), and here is a blurb:

"...Chicago experimental collective called Blood Rhythms, led by sound artist Arvo Zylo... ...celebrated the release of its debut LP, Assembly, a dense collage of brass and woodwind samples recorded in a meat locker. Long-­running Massachusetts experimental imprint RRRecords coreleased Assembly with Zylo’s label, No Part of It, in an edition of roughly 200; every sleeve is handmade and unique, with artwork by Zylo and RRRecords founder Ron Lessard. What makes NO PART OF IT unusual is that it won’t sell music online. Zylo maintains a sporadically updated blog [it had been out of date for months at that point] to tell people about releases and post artwork and sound clips, but he prefers to communicate by mailing photocopied newsletters. Though you can sometimes find No Part of It releases on the Web through RRRecords or Midheaven Mailorder, Zylo doesn’t sell his music digitally anywhere, and the most reliable way to buy an LP or cassette from him is to mail him a check in Uptown."
