As for other projects and releases, Stelzer’s plate is quite full. He has just released Zontag (Port) with guitarist Giuseppe Ielasi and sound artists Roel Meelkop and Frans de Waard. And this February, In Remembrance of Me, the first disc by Skeletons Out, his oneiric, droning duo with Jay Sullivan, is due on Students of Decay. There’ll be a CD-release party at the Middle East upstairs on Monday February 11.
