about

Ideas informing this project: retro-audition; the lure of strings and other analog instruments; memory/affect (drones and pipes during childhood); a sense of foreboding; transience; thresholds; superfluity; summa.

Instruments: Jansen Corsair 6-string guitar and tube amplifier made in Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland ( Aotearoa / New Zealand ) sometime in the early to mid-60s; Fender Mustang bass; Suzuki mandolin (made in Japan in 1966); Arturia Analog Lab synths; various drum machines; AKG and Shure microphones.

I have always made audio files where I live. These de facto studios typically had unshielded power circuits (meaning: pips, buzzes and glitches on some of the recordings), and have been more or less open to environmental sounds - cicadas, tui, crickets, the anthropogenic sounds of communal dwelling, hammers and power tools, wailing babies, light aircraft and, since moving to the city - cars, municipal service vehicles, electric scooters, ringtones, helicopters, compressors, sirens, different wailing babies - the crosstalk of urban zones with its undulating rhythms and interesting dissonances. As a bedroom producer, I welcome these random, sometimes serendipitous, sonic collisions as integral markers of time and place.
