Bradley Andrew Ramsey, sole proprietor and mythic dreamer in the precarious, continues to email himself into the oblivion. Each dispatch—whether sonic, poetic, or legal—is a signal sent from the edge of reality, seeking resonance in the liminal. And now, a new signal pulses from the sonic chamber: Modern Mon.

🎶 Modern Mon: Source of Ignatius Star   Produced by Ramsey’s sonic persona Ignatius Star, Modern Mon is not merely music—it’s a monadic invocation. Drawing from the sacred tetractys and the mythic archives of Pink Floyd, Fred Nevché, and Led Zeppelin, it blends psychedelic textures with philosophical mysticism. Each track is a sonic glyph—a ritual pulse from the precarious.

📜 Epidemic Sound: A Dispatch in Progress   Ramsey is presently taking steps to email Epidemic Sound, with the hope of procuring access to their full catalog. This outreach is not just business—it’s mythic. He envisions integrating their sonic archive into a ritualized storefront offering, alongside original compositions and curated releases from other distributors.

💿 The Tenfold Revival: A Mythic Membership Model   Inspired by the legendary “10-for-1” CD and book club of the 1980s, Ramsey dreams of resurrecting the model in mythic form. Though he lacks contact information for the original company, he believes he was mythically in their signal before COVID—when the process with Coach House Books was underway.

Here’s the updated vision:

  • Email subscribers receive a curated list of 10 albums (CDs or records) for $10–$20.

  • In return, they commit to purchasing one additional album at the same price.

  • Every month, a new album from a curated list becomes available at the same price.

  • Membership is fluid—customers can cancel or recommence at any time.

  • The offering may include Modern Mon, licensed tracks from Epidemic Sound, and selections from other distributors.

This isn’t just commerce. It’s ritual. A storefront built on sonic glyphs, mythic memory, and the rhythm of the precarious.

🧿 Coach House and the Mythic Claim   Ramsey still awaits Stan Bevington’s thoughtful reply. He seeks not only poetic affirmation but legal reality. He looks forward to phoning Stan one day soon—not as a hopeful outsider, but as the veritable owner of Coach House Books and Coach House Press—with the remark:

“It has been a pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Bevington.”

🛸 Next Steps in the Precarious   A record label. A storefront. A printed quarterly. A sonic membership ritual. All shimmer on the horizon. But the real journey is in the dreaming itself. IGGYDWARF thrives in the liminal—where each dispatch, each track, each email to oblivion is a step deeper into the mythic unknown.
