Lonely Whistle Music has been distributing tapes and CDRs since 1984. Originally set up to house the music of Don Campau, over the years this label has been offering the best in home recorded, personal music from many different international artists.
I have recently deleted items from the old catalog but if you really want a specific older item, let me know and I’ll see what I can do.
Many Lonely Whistle CDRs can be downloaded or streamed for free, but if you would like the high quality WAV files, the special and unique paper covers with inserts, and a hard copy of handmade quality, please browse our catalog and place an order.
Prices are kept cheap to allow you to take a chance on little-known artists — and there is a money back guarantee on all items.

Stedman-DiMuro-Campau "Easy Like 1-2-3"
On May 26, 2015 Russ Stedman ( Sioux Falls, SD ) and Dino DiMuro ( Los Angeles) visited Don Campau in Santa Rosa. We jammed in the garage and recorded the results which Dino later edited and mixed.
This was all recorded live with no overdubs. Russ and Dino wailed on electric guitars while Don pumped out the rhythms and bass with the auto keyboard presets, sang and played some bass and lead guitar as well.
This is available for download only. There will be no hard copies unless someone specifically requests one.

inside / outside "territory"
While doing post production work in 2014 on our previous album, “Rooms” Russell Leach and I recorded several pieces expressly for my radio show, “No Pigeonholes EXP” broadcast by KOWS in Northern California.
(listen to this program of experimental music) .We have put these pieces together as CD one on our latest release.
On CD two we recorded a brand new suite in our usual style of free improvisation, beats and odd textures. So, CD 2 is called ‘territory” and became the title of the album as a whole. As usual, we have indexed this album into separate pieces although it is meant to be played as a full piece. Russell generally plays percussion and Don does electronics although we both play a variety of different instruments.
The cover is handmade on fully recycled cardboard and each one has different art work enclosed.

Dino DiMuro "56" Outtakes And More
Recorded during sessions for Dino’s “50” double album, these 20 short songs give an inside look at his process and development when recording an album. Not really “outtakes” by other people’s standards but for various reasons did not make the cut for his powerful and personal “50” album.
