This week, I put together an hour of samples, glitches and whale sounds for a cassette EP release that will be available at the International Noise Conference in Miami. I also made a 5 minute condensed version.
There's a struggle in my mind between two ways of producing art, and noise in particular: one is making a few things with extreme polish, the other is creating hours upon hours of material every day. Many noise artists release every rehearsal and hour of field recording as its own separate album, creating a discography that is incredibly daunting but all sounds basically the same. I'm on the exact opposite end of the spectrum, where every six months I dribble out a tiny bit of art that a handful of people are impressed with for a little bit before their attention is diverted to someone more reliable. This weekly experiment is a concerted effort to force myself to fix that problem. To that end I've decided that I really should release hours upon hours of horrible, unlistenable material, but also create shorter "overture" pieces of just a few minutes of horrible, unlistenable material.
The full hour long version is under the cut.
