Interludes (And Wee Songs) were born out of the North Country Radio mixes. Certain songs were blended together by making
little pieces of music to connect them with other songs on the mix. Little snippets of production that kept a feel or flow or mood while
linking music together. Some little snippets grew into interludes and some even became little songs. "Sounds of decay, space inside delay,
whispers fading in, radio signals fading out: static and nature, the outside world passing by, things I was hearing over and over slowly
washing through me." After the release of the North Country Radio new interludes were still being made. Interludes connecting
interludes. Tiny songs built out of experiments, sounds and short wave radio stations.

Vocals on 'Mirabel' by Fair Lion. Vocals on 'Goddamn Shame' by James Apollo.
"Even In Our Tiny Moments is the product of a blustery winter Marc Francis spent tucked away in Montréal. A mini-symphony of sorts, its dense tapestry of rhythm and sound swaddles stories of abandoned aeroports, frozen canals, and snowbound nights in. Vocal appearances by James Apollo and Fair Lion’s Victoria Tresko complete this beautifully-developed new dimension to his musical aptitude."

Philadelphia Collins was released by Galactique Recordings on April 13th 2012.
"Philadelphia Collins saw its genesis in a few remix efforts that went a little too far. Being the musical tinker that he is, Taperecorder deconstructed and rebuilt the source material to the point where the results had transcended the context of “remix”. Indeed, each track on this EP is its own animal; entirely new songs informed, but not defined, by their original identities." - Galactique Recordings
Produced by Marc Francis. Vocals by Fair Lion, Drunkwife, Zebra Katz, and Njena Foxxx. Beginnings: The Death Set, Zebra Katz, Jenn Mierau.
Songs:
Sled!
Sled! [Wolf Couture vs DJ Teenwolf Remix]

Song:
A Love Letter To Copenhagan 1986
A Love Letter To Copenhagan 1986 was released by Beau Bonhomme Recordings on September 11th 2022.
"Looking back, I think I wanted to enter back into the world of songs I made inspired by a memorable visit to Copenhagen. A few weeks after leaving Denmark, I wrote Ryesgade 58 and Jagtvej 69, both of which ended up on my Boombox EP, released in 2008. I ended up giving Love Letter to my girlfriend (now wife) for Christmas in 2010. She has been encouraging me to release it for years and, well, here it is."
Love Letter, which can be described as an elaboration/remix/reimagination of the Boombox EP, was chiefly meant to be a tribute to Jagtvej 69 and Ryesgade 58, but also contains its own story told from a nostalgic mind looking back on a very lovely, very rowdy, and a very sleepless visit to a faerietale city.
Written, produced and artwork by Marc Francis.
