about

I sat down to record some other works, pieces I wrote and performed over 2022, hoping to document them as a couple releases. I had all this gear out, but my interests had shifted so dramatically since I wrote and performed those other pieces, I thought, "I'll record some other material to include as interludes, to bring these records up to speed with where I'm at artistically."

As it turns out, I've been more enthusiastic about working on these tracks, and they're ready earlier, so here they are. Little noise EP, interim release before the documentary ones. Right now I'm tryna be quick, resist my perfectionism, tweakiness, wringing-of-hands-iness. These are not necessarily things in me I hate, but sometimes they can be blockages to output. And i want to put something out!!

I wasn't intending to emulate it at the time, but I've been inspired by Joe Colley's recent "Deformation of Tone", and these tracks are somewhat similar. I love the small noises, the dead asceticism. The crickle. The semiotic desert. The dry sense of humour

Noise more broadly has been one of a handful of deeply inspiring things in my life recently - inspired by Joe Colley, my experiences at Soundout 2023, jamming and experimenting slowly with friends, recent HYMMNN release, and the show which originated that piece. We performed with GodFire and Society of Cutting Up Men. Both have exciting, sunny, funny outlooks on noise, both are extremely community-minded and DIY units. Very thankful for that show.

Part of the reason I was so excited to work on these is that the recent HYMMNN release gave me the opportunity to test some mix/master stuff in a noise context which I was keen to practice. Using reaper's compressors, limiters, and metering plugins on master tracks, addressing peaks and overall volume levels. Improving mixing and recording skills has been an exciting and dramatic narrative...
