about

I present to you the sounds of field (domestic) recordings, jams, conversations, live granulisations, synthesis experiments, walks, reading, feedback, working ... which were recorded, overwritten, cut up and sped down, on a Sony M-629V microcassette (dictaphone).

The two sides of the microcassette were recorded mostly between December 2019 and February 2020 (trailing off at the end, probably into April). A collage, or palimpsest of ambient soft noises.

Sound materials are interleaved, they cross between sides and skip back and forth in time. Isolated "pieces" are mixed with recurring themes and textures, though echoes and remnants may be found in other places.

The two tracks are mono; stereo listening (one track per channel) is encouraged: a stereo mix is included as an extra upon purchase for a Stereondipitous™ listening experience.

Fixed in the digital realm on May 27th, 2020. No noise reduction has been applied.
