The following is a list of recordings involving music by Dolph Chaney. This material is available by contacting Dolph at dolphmusic@rcn.com or through the mail:

Compact Discs

• NEW BIRD RISE
• The 1998 real-studio debut -- my introduction to the wonders of mid-fi. 13 songs, and I really am pleased with this one even 4 years later. $10.
• INFINITY DOGS on CD
• Since it was recorded on DAT in the first place, it only seemed logical to make this '94 recording available as a CD-R. So, my friend Bayard took the DAT and mastered it to CD-R for me. Then, my friend Brian created this cover design. Bayard and another friend, Ross, have talked to me about further sound cleanup -- we'll see. You can get the current one from me for $10.
• RIPPLES REDUX
• A couple of my friends have commented to me that their copy of RIPPLES is wearing out or has already done so. Plus, the original version inadvertantly ended up coming out about a half-step slow! So, I am working on a remix, which may or may not be a substantive improvement, but at least it won't annoy me quite so much. My first try (late 2001) came out pretty crappy sounding, so I'll try again. Soon! Really! It may turn out to be a 10th-anniversary edition, but what the hey.

• RIPPLES
