The day will come I’m sure you’ll find When all you know Will come to close There comes a time Written in stone When all you do Will be undone. The day is near Veneer is paper thin The waves of change Meet journey’s end The end of mind The end of skin The end of hair The end of time The wicker chair Will be your chain Your mind will slow And I’ll be waiting there.

about

Utilizing everything from electric kazoos to tape loops and everything in between, this album celebrates unconventional sound design in all it's glory, wearing its imperfections proudly.

The Hum, Folded:
The bassline to the opening track was made accidentally when I was figuring out how to use my blackstar amp. I hooked up my EHX Canyon to it, and a weird hum came out if it, and with one twist of the delay knob, it created this weird feedback loop. Luckily I was recording it on my phone. The snare hits were sampled from me hitting tin foil with a spatula.

Pop Can Pop:
When I was a kid, I would always crinkle empty cans to see what weird sounds I could get from them, and this track is an homage to that. I used a PO-33 to sample all the sounds, and then I made this quick little beat from it.

Black Ring Transmission:
When I was making casettes for my other two albums, I recycled other tapes I got from a thrift store. After splicing, I had a ton of loose tape left over. I used random cuts from this excess tape, and made a loop out of it, which I then used to make this weird little ambient soundscape. The kalimba sample was from Simon the Magpie's Kalooper collab project, and the bassline was from my Bass Station II.

Scratching Meditations:
Using a copy of Silent Meditations, an Lp with 20 minutes of silence on both sides, I attempted to create a beat by scratching and chemically attacking certain patterns into it. It ended up creating this minimalist soundscape thingy.

Pop Can Hop:
I had so much fun with Pop Can Pop, that I ended up making a follow up, now using coke bottles and my Electro Harmonix pedal, which kicks in about halfway through.

Zoop!:
This was made using an electric kazoo running through an electro harmonix canyon pedal and a chorus pedal. This was entirely improvised and I didn't take breathing into account, which is why I sound insanely out of breath halfway through.

Thawazisi:
This one utilizes a circuit bent Easy Button, which replaced the main pitch resistor with a potentiometer. I found that if I lowered the resistance enough, it would slow down and stretch a 3 second sample to several minutes. After adding an audio jack, I ran it through my Canyon pedal, tweaking around the delay knob to create the "thunder" effect, as well as slowly increasing the resistance. The result is this cerebral mashup of extratone, lowercase, glitch, and ambient music.

Requiem for Radioshack:
When I first got into technology, my parents got me a soldering kit from radioshack, with which you could make a small, glitchy and out of tune synthesizer. I bent it in a similar way to the Easy Button, with a potentiometer and an audio jack, and I ran it through the Canyon.

Toy Piano's Lament.
For the closing track, I added an audio out to an electric toy piano, and ran it through octave fuzz and reverb pedals. The last part is me singing through a toy voice changer into the same pedal setup, and the random drum hits at the end are from the toy piano malfunctioning.
