In celebration of twenty years of laboring in total obscurity, making oddball sound experiments and sharing them with whomever would listen, I have asked my comrades in the netlabel underground — many new acquaintances and some folks I’ve known since the hometaping days — to use anything I’d ever recorded and rework the sounds into their own compositions. I’m very proud to release this three hour collection of drones, beats and experiments for free. There’s some astoundingly good work to be found here, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do
featuring a short keziah mason. track built from the physical limitations and revelations of the 12” vinyl disc format, originally released as ‘amy’s armrs/metacollage’ by drone forest, which can be purchased here- http://www.vuzhmusic.com/releases/amysarms.html
i used none of the music present on the 12” (which is absolutely fantastic, by the way, and you should snag a copy while they’re still around. pure drone goodness), instead sourcing the sound of the medium itself through surface noise, run out grooves, and various physical manipulations which were then further manipulated electronically.
i’ve long been a fan of c. reider through his eponymous work and his work as vuzh and with the drone forest collective and it was an honour and a privilege to be included in this project and i do hope you investigate further, and listen to and support the other artists involved.
