Anyone know what Reid does for a living? Wonder how he makes his life in between sparse releases. 

I heard that he sells ketchup flavoured jelly beans.

Makes sense to me.

Actually I wonder about many artists with a similar following. EOD for instance. Just wondering if it's possible to make ends meet at that level. Or if the music only pays for so much. I've heard of the concept of getting 1000 ' dedicated fans' that would buy most of your stuff. At this point I'd say they have an extensive discography and have around that amount of dedicated fans. Total conjecture on my part.

Oh snap, I’d totally forgotten about that one  

Time to revisit some Wisp

This was always my favourite track of his, truly epic
 

Damn Sean smashed Wispy on the stream, lush melody on this tune 
 

Always found this one cute

There are a bunch of wisp tracks listed on his discogs released from 2019-2021 I couldn’t find anywhere. Neither google or bandcamp. Anyone got a hint where these dropped?

Normally some obscure ones are uploaded to YouTube but no luck

Facebook? (I'm not on FB, so honestly no idea!)

Like to know as well, btw.  There's a bunch of self released tracks according to discogs. And I have none of them

there are even some in this topic I didn't know about. He should just shadowdrop them on bandcamp so they do not get lost in poor quality on some random weird streaming site. its zero efford

I guess you could do that if you moved to a low cost country. Leyland Kirby lives in Poland, and seem to make a living out of making music. For EOD? No chance of make a decent living out of 1000 dedicated fans residing in Norway. An old acquaintance of mine quit a very good job in public radio and moved to Berlin around 2010 to make a living of making music. He has managed to do that since, mostly because of excessive DJing and affordable costs. I´m happy for him, but wonder what it will be like when he turns 50? 60?

Anyway. I searched for this topic because I wondered what Wisp do these days. Probably a boring job and a family. But can he please release some of his old stuff on bandcamp?

oh yes reid please !

Bummer that wisp archives site died. 

If he wanted he could just upload the archive to bandcamp. I mean it would literally take 5 minutes and many people would even pay for it

It was preserved on archive.org, you can find it linked on his artist profile on Discogs. All of the download links there are still intact if I am not mistaken!

maybe he considers rephlex his pinacle of success and richard is the only person he still sends unreleased tracks to

Was in a Wisp mood recently and went looking to see if anything new had popped up, ended up down a rabbit hole finding so many unreleased bits and pieces. I had no idea there was so much out there.
Found this compilation of 59 assorted tracks (over 5 hours worth!) [tracklist in description]

Would not hesitate to pay a pile of dollars for an official comp of his archived material, even just on bandcamp in whatever quality.

We Miss You, Reid.
