Ball of Wax Audio Quarterly

Ball of Wax Audio Quarterly was founded in 2005 by Levi Fuller with the idea of shedding light on and creating a document of some of the wonderful music that was being made all around him, much of which without any fanfare, press, or radio play. The hope was that this series of compilation CDs and the release events associated with each would be a way to build community among musicians, whether local to Seattle and the Pacific Northwest or from across the United States and the world, while hopefully bringing their music to an audience that might not otherwise have stumbled upon it.

Every three months a new volume is released, featuring new music from Seattle and beyond, much of which is unreleased elsewhere. Each volume’s release is celebrated with a public performance, where the CD is available for free with the price of admission; following that, each volume is made available for purchase at a ridiculously cheap price.
