Round two of a series of data dumps for a number of forthcoming eps built from fits and starts of learning the beasts that are Ableton, Push, and using electronic drums with an SPDSX instead of acoustic. There are several years worth of stop and go moments of creativity that I am finally getting around to publishing instead of letting it collect dust on my hard drive.
This particular ep is from ideas I recorded around a block of “free time” I had around September of 2022 (now 2 eps worth).
Some of these tracks speak to me, some I don’t like, but perhaps they speak to someone else. I can’t say this is where I want to be or go, but this is a start to sharing some of my noise art. Some of this was quick and dirty utilitarian recordings for the sake of the software learning processes. In that regard it’s unique because some of these are examples of rough drafts ultimately. The track names are telling to some degree, mostly mundane indicators for me to remember what the file is, or the events that occurred around the time of recording. Some I might revisit again later. Until then, I hope you enjoy these bits and bytes that may have never seen the light of day had I kept waiting to get to a point of creating a coherent full length album.
This cover is tied to the first as the feathers and wedges are used most often in nature for me, a few times not far from the EP 1 stream. They are used to split rocks for building trail structures. However, when thinking of bots, and bot farms and the divisions or divide and conquer I see online, I felt the feathers and wedges were apt. Where a rock, or “society,” is being split, wedged apart, divided.
I made the graphic for a cartoon image I made (flic.kr/p/2kwhk8p) showing a hammer hitting one of the wedges. In spite of the divisions or where we stand, we can build things together, or take up a different spaces, but with good contact build rather than destroy.
Expect some remixes of this material, especially audio levels as many of these tracks were not mastered. Listening is best served by engaging with the volume and sub knob and/or an EQ to suit your taste if you have one.
