I like how the artists are introduced in relation to the author. It's turned me onto some interesting musicians like Chlorine and Himukalt (the latter of which had some really vivid imagery about the magic draw of a streetlamp which stemmed from a simple question about what's out the window). The Scum Alice interview was great too, answering a lot of questions about the music and its creation. Plus the SPL-ITS article related to the forums was a great inclusion. I also definitely appreciate the shout-outs to moon musiq and GEMS!
Himukalt was very forthcoming for an interview - I was very happy with how that worked out! She makes some amazing music, and has a real story to tell.

Was fun including the splits stuff, I wanted to include more quotes from board members but I kinda ran out of space and my page could was already getting bigger. I didn't want to reduce the font size too much so that's how I left it.

my next zine will be smaller in terms of page count. Maybe 2 or 3 folded sheets at most? Gonna be more of a bulletin / newsletter with maybe 1 interview, reviews and stuff. I can then print them off myself - the complete ballache with the printing service I used this time around was a joke and the costs have gone up loads since I last did it. The other option was to go "more professional" but there's no way I can compete with the likes of Noise Receptor Journal (and nor do I want to) - so I think I shall keep it DIY. That keeps me happy and in control of whats going on.

So yeah, going back to total DIY. Smaller page count also means cheaper postage, which is also a massive cost right now. Also considering a PDF option again so international people / distro's can print their own? Dunno. Just an idea.

Happy to hear peoples thoughts on this!
How much does it cost to produce and distribute a single copy of issue #3?

I got my Intrusive Signals #1 & #3 today.
I was delighted to see the Luxury Mollusc interview in #1.
The Mollusc participated in Santa Ana Noisefest #12 two years ago. I am on the team that puts on Santa Ana Noisefest.
Here is the link to his set:

I will check back in as I digest these zines.

They are extremely well done!

Remaining copies now on my bandcamp / limitedrun pages, slightly discounted over previous prices. Link via my blog signature below.

Also with the following distros:

Scream & Writhe
Electric Knife
Tordon Ljud

And you may possibly also find copies in person at:

Cafe Oto (London)
Dartington Hall (Devon)

Not decided if to proceed with Issue 4 yet, or not. I enjoy doing zines but I have to be in the right frame of mind to start them, and I currently am not. So there.

This is the live recording for Heinous Whining that turned me on to the Mollusc and lead to the zine interview

Pigswill is right. The Himukalt article is fascinating. Check them on band camp: https://himukalt.bandcamp.com
Cool shit!
