"In early 2008, Thrill Jockey released Gyromancy, a limited edition art book & CD release from Robert A.A. Lowe & Rose Lazar. Gyromancy featured a 3" CD of music from Robert A.A. Lowe and was accompanied by a 72 page perfect-bound book featuring the art of both Lowe and Rose Lazar. Thrill Jockey is now happy to present Eclipses, a limited edition LP-only release again featuring the music of Lowe and the visual artwork of both Lowe and Lazar. Eclipses is an extension of Gyromancy. Remaining in view of what came before and altering the vision. Pushing out beyond natural terrestrial landscapes into those slightly more cosmic or alien in scope. It makes an appropriate addendum to the onset of this particular phase. The music was recorded at home by Lowe utilizing semi-modular and polyphonic analogue synthesizers. Accompanying the full length LP is a 12" x 36" double-sided full color poster showcasing the artwork of both Lowe and Lazar. This is again included to properly voice the images, which end up as a sort of storyboard to the music."

"The latest in our series of limited edition book + CD packages. Following the release of Daniel A.I.U. Higgs Atomic Yggdrasil Tarot and Aki Tsuyuko's Hokane, we have a new pocket-sized addition to the series. Gyromancy is a 4" x 6" soft cover perfect-bound book featuring artwork from Robert A.A. Lowe and Rose Lazar. Included with the book is a special 3" CD featuring the music of Robert A.A. Lowe. Robert Lowe was a member of the band 90 Day Men and currently plays music under the name Lichens. He is an absolute fixture in the Chicago music and arts community. Rose Lazar runs her own hand-printed goods company called The Great Lakes Goods. Gyromancy looks at future past, neo-antiquity, ritual magic, and patterning. The book represents a dream walk through nature and all of its influences. Repetition of imagery keeps you aware of the cyclical patterns that nature presents us with. We get caught up in these patterns without noticing them, to the point that you have to stop and take a harder look. Gyromancy is an attempt at taking a harder look. The music composed to accompany the images in the book is there to do just that. To add yet another dimension to the world that inhabits its pages." 70 pages.
