Soisong Book has now been fully packaged and is on the way to the store. It carries an honest, if somewhat compact, chronological documentation of Soisong as a process - from the earliest moments of conception to the "after-effects-years". Largely based around the email exchange between myself and Sleazy, the book features private travel and concert photos, official announcements, pretentious manifestos, fake documents, as well as photographic contributions from the Soisong audience.

It took time and effort to put together a sensible selection from the bulk of old cellphone photos and low-res images once made for Myspace, to upscale them with the use of today's technology, to select what's printable from a thousand of emails.. However, the work didn't feel hard. Soisong Book is a proper Soisong release also in a sense that its creation was fun, fueled by the very same joyful enthusiasm as every other publication or action we made. The book's design solutions have been revealing themselves page by page, with the final result reflecting Soisong's renowned passion for the amateurish, the non-conventional, the mildly confusing and in places completely erroneous.

A hardback faux-leather bound edition of 222 numbered copies, printed in full colour, is musically illustrated by two compact discs affixed inside:
- a pre-Soisong recording of a 2007 concert in Tokyo where the members performed as separate acts, COH and Threshold House Boys Choir;
- and a new post-Soisong studio album by Julio Ecclesiast, the virtuoso trumpet player briefly appearing on the last album xAj3z.

Soisong Book can not be pre-ordered and will be made available from the Soisong store on 22.05.2026 at 22:05 CET.
