Synopsis

Product Description
In July of 2003, a documentary was broadcast on HBO while Conure was packing for a (canceled) move to Berlin. "Paragraph 175" was a documentary portraying the Nazi persecution of homosexuals because of Paragraph 175 of the German Penal Code of 1871. Conure knew this persecution had existed, but little beyond that. This documentary inspired him to create a new audio work as a way to interest others as ignorant as he to watch the film, but primarily as a way to portray the feelings the documentary brought forth in Conure.

Conure is Mark Wilson of 15 Degrees Below Zero. He started this project in May of 2000, shortly after the formation of Imperial Floral Assault Unit, the pre-cursor to 15DBZ. After years of being a music consumer, he decided it was time to create something of his own. Since that time, he has had numerous CDr releases on such labels as Troniks, Zaftig Research, Immanence Records, and Solipsism, amongst others. He also has CD releases on Crunch Pod and Edgetone Records (forthcoming). In addition, he's been fortunate enough to play multiple shows on both US coasts as well as international shows in Victoria and Montreal, Canada and Berlin, Germany.
In the beginning, Mark took a more electronics- and software-based approach to noise. However, over the years, lo-fi equipment and sound sources have begun to dominate, an approach that he feels much more comfortable with, an approach that has led to a considerable evolution in his sound.
