Datawhore: The second of the collaborations with Michael. I didn’t know until I had completed it what it was about precisely, but the abstraction of working oblivious to the context of the words paradoxically facilitated a soundscape for them. Although I find Michael’s best work piercing, I also enjoy working to a sense of “unlanguage”, or “words as things”, and to this end use repetition and monotony (i.e. “on and on and on”) to make the words mean nothing.
This LP, made entirely on the Buchla 200, one of the first modular synths, is already getting mix-taped by Carl Craig. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 4, 2015
