DOC WÖR MIRRAN

releases

For those of you already somewhat aquainted with MT, it is probably pretty obvious that DWM has turned into a kind of "house" band. Indeed, both MT as a label and DWM as a recording project are very much inter-related and were formed at the same time by the same people. In fact, the idea to start a label mainly resulted from the wish to have an outlet to release the many recordings of DWM. Since there are so many DWM releases on virtually all kinds of formats and in virtually every musical style and spanning a time period of over twenty years, it seemed like our standard format of simply listing the releases one after the other wouldn´t work, so as an exception to the rule, the various DWM releases have been put into sub-groups. Also, as an exception to the rule, also listed here are the DWM releases from other labels.

Please note, this is meant to augment our already published discography, to give much more in-depth info on each release, with a picture of the cover and info on label, how many were made and who played on each release. For general info on DWM, including news, info on concerts and exhibitions, please refer to our homepage.

Releases:

Anniversary Editions. To celebrate various MT milestones, DWM released these vinyl albums in extremely limited editions of only twenty copies each.

CDs on other labels. DWM hasn't only put out CDs on MT.

CD-Rs on other labels. As a natural evolution of the cassette scene, DWM has also embraced the recordable CD culture.

Doc Wör Mirran writings. Over a period of several years, Joseph B. Raimond produced 200 "poems", the difinitive series of DWM writings, released as two seperate books.

Early cassettes. The humble beginnings of DWM can be traced to San Francisco and the recordings made at the San Francisco State University electronic music studio.

Edges. A project spanning over two decades, and involving a book as well as an ongoing series of both paintings and recordings, and even ceramics!

Label samplers. For these releases, DWM had several labels pitch in together to finance and distribute these records.

Live recordings. Yes, DWM has played live, but not often. All concerts have been recorded, and each is totally different.

Prion. DWM has released several cassette releases on Peter Schuster's Prion label.

RRRecords. DWM also has the honour of having released (co-released with eMpTy Records) two albums on the renowned industrial-experimental label RRRecords. Both are special, as Severe Pig was our first vinyl album, and Odds, Sods and Dirtclods was a three album boxed set.

Sack. DWM has recorded some fine material that has been recorded and released together with their friend Harald "Sack" Ziegler.

Shaped Records. As lovers of vinyl, it must come as no surprise that DWM themselves have experimented with weird forms of vinyl

Singles on various labels. Not all DWM singles came out on MT. Here is all you would ever like to know about these collectable singles.

Slow. Based on a concept by DWM member Ralf Lexis, this series of releases spanned an incredible 12 years. Three different releases on three formats on three different labels.

Vinyl LPs on Musical Tragedies. DWM members always loved vinyl, so for as long as it was technically and financially possible, DWM went ahead and recorded and released as many vinyl albums as possible, many of which were released on the MT sublabel Musical Tragedies

Witches. This project, which spanned several years and involved writing, music, and a series of paintings, was inspired by the witches novels of Anne Rice.
