about
"2 insomniac elixir" could be a collective descriptor for these couple tracks, it was a new adventure for me: working with tape in such an ad-hoc way; using what I had around; straying away from "THE FIXED BOX". i used my fingers to keep the tension in the tape so it fed through the machine correctly for longer loops out of the shell. you'll hear moments in tristle)+eco where my hands slipped and the sound decays / crumples away as the tape loses its position and falls out of the machine, I exploited that "error" and began using that "in-between" technique where at certain angles I could manipulate the tape in and out of the recording head, as to get irregular shapes / rhythms of sounds, patterns drawn in cold breath canvas window, sort of intentional "bumps" in the tape, or you can envision the way you can crumple up a plastic straw's paper encasing like an accordian or caterpillar before administering a water droplet to see the thing expand. i think that's why tape is still relevant, or holds a special place to some, to me at least it is the elasticity of what you can do texturally that I found most compelling. Derbyshire is the godmother of these techniques as the rest of us pick her pieces up off the floor and examine them under our own mothlights. EQUIP USED: SC-88PRO, Quadraverb, hand-me-down "The Entertainer" mixer, Fostex X-18 tape machine.
