Various, or Various Production, is an English dubstep/electronic music duo formed in 2002. The group blends samples, acoustic and electronic instrumentation, and singing from a revolving cast of vocalists. Its members, Adam and Ian, purposefully give very little information about the group or themselves, and tend to do little in the way of self-promotion.[1] Nevertheless, the group began winning critical acclaim with its single releases in 2005 and 2006, with singers Rachel Thomas Davies and Nicola Kearey.[2] Their full-length for XL, The World is Gone, arrived in July 2006.[3][4][5][6][7] They have released a large number of vinyl EPs and 7" records, as well as digital exclusives for Rough Trade, iTunes, and Boomkat.[8] They have released remixes of a large variety of artists (sometimes uncredited) such as Thom Yorke, Adele, Virus Syndicate, Dave Cloud, Cat Power, Emma Pollock and Ian Brown and participated with one track on the Vexille Movie Soundtrack.
In 2002, the group started their own record label, called Various Records or Various Production, where they began releasing their own material, usually on 7" or 12" vinyl, or later as mp3 releases.[9] In 2009 the duo started another label, called "Misc", this time for selling artworks and other products.
The duo signed a publishing deal with the newly formed Fire Songs in November 2007, a division of eclectic London-based record label Fire Records. In early 2009 they released a new LP, an experimental collaboration with poet Gerry Mitchell called The Invisible Lodger and signed the first act to release on the Various Production label, Gold Panda.

"HAPPY ENDING" is the story of a girl named Hope, a young runaway, roped into a life of prostitution. Narrated first by a houseboy of the brothel where they both live and work. Then later narrated by Hope herself, who has big dreams. A simple story told in the not so simple form of a 528-page experimental graphic novel by author and artist Joy Rip.
The book is divided into three parts. PART 1 is the Foreword and contains the first Dream. PART 2 contains the Chapters 1-10 of the main story. PART 3 is the Afterword and contains the final Dream. Enjoy! Come dream with us.
Though Joy Rip's stories are haunting, they are not typical ghost stories in that they do not draw on the supernatural (in the ordinary sense) for their power. Instead, the so-called natural world's unfathomable super-reality is exposed in all its natural otherness and unnatural otherworldliness. Joy Rip redefines the ghost story by exposing the unnaturalness of the natural. The unnaturalness of how we take everything about the singular phenomenon of being alive for granted. How the day-to-day rarely reveals ordinary life to be extraordinary. How amazing, how extraordinary is our natural blindness that allows us to carry on like everything is all right. These books are an effort to reverse that natural order and rediscover the hauntingly magical in the impossibly mundane. And nothing is more magical than stumbling across the unexpectedly real and important in the inexplicable unreality and unimportance that dominates the day-to-day. There is no greater treasure hunt. No greater supernatural.
"The reality of consciousness is captured best as a ghost story... An endless ghost story. Consciousness is a veil. We are all haunted by an absence of presence. Conscious reality is never fleshed out to its full depth. Everyone is a silhouette accented by shadows. Everything is unsatisfyingly fragmented, fleeting, shallow. Everything is a partial truth at best. Everyone is a great unknown. Nothing is truly substantial in our knowledge of ourselves and one another. We sleep, glide through life. Dreaming we are awake. We are ghosts." ~ Joy Rip [more]

For The Reasons Set Forth At The Close Of The Last Chapter There Was No
Opera At The Metropolitan Opera House In the Season Of 1892-93, But The
Fall Of The Latter Year Witnessed the Beginning Of A New Period, Full
Of Vicissitudes. With Many Brilliant Artistic Features, It Was Still
Experimental To A Large Extent On Its Artistic Side, The Chief Results
Of Its Empiricism Being The Restoration Of German Opera In the Repertory
On An Equal Footing With Italian And French. It Also Brought The Largest
Wave Of Prosperity To The House That It Had Experienced since Its
Opening, Yet Ended in the Shipwreck Of The Lessees, And Disaster That
Was More Than Financial. The Lessees Were Again Messrs. Abbey, Schoeffel
And Grau, With Whom The Reorganized metropolitan Opera And Real Estate
Company (Limited) Effected an Agreement, The Essential Elements Of Which
Remained unchanged for Fifteen Years; That Is, Down To The Close Of The
Season Of 1907-08. The Term Was Five Years. The Lessees Took The House
For An Annual Rental Of $52,000, And Pledged themselves To Give Opera
Four Times A Week For Thirteen Weeks In the Winter And Spring. The
Lessors Paid Back To The Lessees The $52,000 For Their Box Privileges,
And To Insure Representations Which Would Be Satisfactory To Them,
Reserved the Right To Nominate Six Of The Singers, Two Of Whom Were
To Take Part In every Performance In the Subscription List.
The First Season Under The New Lease Was Enormously Successful, Abbey,
Schoeffel, And Grau Realizing about $150,000, Including The Visits To
Other Cities, And A Supplementary Spring Season Of Two Weeks. They Made
Great Losses On Their Other Enterprises, However, Especially On Abbey'S
Theater (Now The Knickerbocker), And The American Tours Of Mounet-Sully
And Mme. Réjane. Like Results Attended the Seasons Of 1894-95, And
1895-96, The Drag In the Latter Instance Being The Lillian Russell Opera
Company, Which, Together With Other Ventures, Brought The Firm Into
Such A Financial Slough That It Made An Assignment For The Benefit Of
Its Creditors, Who Were Forced to Take Over Its Business To Protect
Themselves. Chief Of These Was William Steinway, Who Had Accommodated
Abbey, Schoeffel And Grau With Loans To The Extent Of $50,000. Under
His Guidance As Chairman Of The Committee Of Reorganization, The Stock
Company, Abbey, Schoeffel & Grau (Limited), Was Formed, He Becoming
President, And Henry E. Abbey, John B. Schoeffel, And Maurice Grau
Managing Directors At A Salary Of $20,000 A Year. Ernest Goerlitz, Who
Had Been In the Employ Of The Firm For Some Time, Was Made Secretary
And Treasurer. He Remained in an Executive Capacity At The Metropolitan
Until The Expiration Of The Consulship Of Conried in 1908. Mr. Steinway
Got Rid Of The Debts Of The Company (Or, Perhaps, It Would Be More
Correct To Say, Changed their Character) By Issuing Certificates Of
Stock And Notes To The Creditors. In this Manner Some Of The Principal
Artists Of The Company Became Financially Interested in ope [more]
