about

a conglomeration of improvised micro loops, post-rock thrashings and subtle hues, beat tape, space dissonance, VHS audio samples, intro to knob-twisting forays, dark side of the 4-track, chasing sound through a side door in a side alley, file under "my boyfriend is fiddling his pedals again."

consulted the back log of my home recording tapes, scanned through ~15 60/90 minute tapes and a handful of 4-track tapes, some as reference, others mystery and accidents. some multitracking for additional spice, all micro loops were done live on the Boss DD-3 "Hold" function while improvising. recorded from 2016-2020 in various Pittsburgh bedrooms, basements, Etna practice space, and Kent, OH.
