DEEP EARTH is a monthly series by COPPICE HALIFAX, serving as a record of my explorations with live electronic music produced on retrograde hardware and special analog equipment. It has run consecutively for six years, and is projected to continue for a few more. If the main body of Coppice Halifax work can be represented as a continent, then Deep Earth is the borderlands, the unmapped subterranean depths and abyssal seas that surround it.
SUBSCRIBERS IN 2022 WILL RECEIVE:
1. Digital downloads of every DEEP EARTH release for the next twelve months. Typically, there is one public release and one private release each month, the latter being made available only to Deep Earth subscription holders for no additional cost. In 2022, the EARTH catalog will be paused to allow for an interstitial passage of work, which will still be delivered monthly, but will not be considered "Year Seven" of the EARTH catalog narrative/cycle.
2. Immediate access to streaming/downloads of the prior year of Deep Earth. In 2022, this is Year Six - EARTH 61-72. The prior five years of Deep Earth will be made available separately to subscribers at a highly reduced rate, as an optional additional cost. (Contact me via email or the contact form here to inquire about this option)
3. Immediate download of a selection of COPPICE HALIFAX releases that serve as a precursor to the DEEP EARTH concept and sound palette (1983 / Bedroom Carpet / Cedar Mast Reduced / Inland By Night).
4. Exclusive access to the subscriber-only FORJETITAJ / DISCARDED catalog, which issues one new release each month in parallel to the public catalog, as well as video singles as/when they happen. The Forjetitaj catalog is, as of the time of this writing, 72 releases alone.
5. A 15% discount on all physical or digital items from the DEEP EARTH catalog. As of 2022, no more physical editions of monthly releases will be produced, and no copies of prior releases in the series will be made available, but there will be very limited and very occasional physical editions of "Compleat" box sets, each containing a full year of the Deep Earth series, and your 15% discount can be applied to these.
6. Semi-regular remix releases consisting of versions and variations of DEEP EARTH recordings, drafted by a large number of associated producers. Notable contributors so far have been Arjen Schat / Ohrwert, Substak, The Nautilus Project / Nemo & Jaymon, Yorkshire Modular Society, Adrien75, Zwei Kreise and Occur, as well as many others. As of 2022, eight different remix releases exist in the catalog and are available to all subscribers. These releases are indexed by their RIPETIS / REITERATED catalog heading.
7. Reading/writing access to the DEEP EARTH subscriber community, a minimal social area where users can read blog posts and updates by Coppice Halifax, create their own posts and comment on other posts.

Already have lots of Milieu, a fair amount of Coppice Halifax among other monikers from this most singular artist of many guises and looking forward to exploring the topography of the Deep Earth seams.
