i started work on this record shortly after watching the 1939 filmreel "The City" , i found it to be an incredibly prophetic and well written piece of film. i sampled it heavily on Side A, and Side B is literally my reaction to the film in musical terms (or something). here's the original:
i'm posting here rather than modular madness because there really isn't a huge amount of modular on this record. i only had 8 modules or so back at this time, and mainly used them for sound design/atonal stuff on this record. the bulk of the sounds on Side A come from a grand piano, heavily processed - along with bass guitar, melodica, ms2000, vocals etc. Side B is more of the same, but more gentle and meloncholy.
this music has had a long journey to be heard, and i'm happy it's finally out. the digital copy was put online several days ago, and the response has already been overwhelming compared to what i expected. i hope someone enjoys these noizez!
just wanted to mention - this was a limited run of 100 casettes, and they are now sold out! hi-def digital downloads remain available. thanks for the support!
