Sextrance: Sexworld

Sextrance: Sexworld

By the time I hear about sextrance, it's worldwide. The whole underground is twitching and writhing through the bit crush haze at speeds in excess of 200 bpm, and I'm just caught in the wave. The story of how I got here goes something like this. Gorge bootist Indus Bonze

Peace Will Prosper In The Future

Peace Will Prosper In The Future

When it's cold out, everything looks flammable. Dry. Sometimes the hardest thing to remember is the absence of pain. It's just there or it isn't. Like being warm. Like being alive. Memory can be a path to a future, and a path can be difficult, overgrown, lost in its season.

There Will Be Many Obstacles To Overcome

[image alt text: Screenshot from NES game Bayou Billy. Gordon is holding a knife to Annabelle's throat. He has a speech bubble that says "there will be many obstacles to overcome."] I haven't been writing much. I moved last month, and I feel like I still haven't had time to

Gorge Out Pennsylvania

At 7:30 on a Monday morning, I’m grinding Ethiopian coffee and blasting Slab from Tokyo. My senses are drawn across mountains 6,000 miles apart and even further from my kitchen, just east of the Alleghenies. If my neighbors appreciate the sound, they don’t mention it. I’

Listen: mosaictheanimated – AREASCATTERBRAIN

AREASCATTERBRAIN [https://mosaictheanimated.bandcamp.com/album/areascatterbrain] is a slow boil about to get fast, a moment of change suspended, repeated, looping, spiraling. AREASCATTERBRAIN is a record is a mood is a place I keep coming back to. I want to be clear about something that this album is clear

Mixtape: Drone Finds A Dancefloor

Mixtape: Drone Finds A Dancefloor

Sometimes all I can think is a vast silence, punctuated by brief intervals of noise. A drum, sitting in an otherwise empty room somewhere, is never struck. I am interested in the texture of its potential. I am interested in the brief intervals of noise, which exist in that texture.

On Field Recording

200x: Setting up to record a local punk show, I get into an argument with a friend about mic placement.  I’ve been reading a translation of Herman von Helmoltz’s On The Sensations of Tone as a Physiological Basis for the Theory of Music [https://archive.org/details/onsensationston00elligoog/

Listen: Ponche Kascabel – CAXIXI

Listen: Ponche Kascabel – CAXIXI

Ponche Kascabel’s debut EP [https://ponchekascabel.bandcamp.com/album/caxixi] is a tight basket-weave of rhythm and texture. Distorted synths and dreamy guitars flow between intricate layers of percussion. Pulsing waves of bass carry static grit through electro-organic rhythmicon feedback circuits. Familiar sounds take unfamiliar shapes as they collide,

An Introduction to Gorge

I am staring at a blank document. I am listening to Gorge Bricolage by Hanali [https://thirdtypetapes.bandcamp.com/album/ttt36-hanali-gorge-bricolage]. I am taking a deep breath. I am remembering a nosebleed in Loveland, Colorado that lasted for two days—maybe it was the dry air or the altitude or

Listen: Hualun's WUHAN WUHAN

Some time last year, I overheard Hualun’s Blue Fireworks (Short Version) [https://hualun.bandcamp.com/album/an-elephant-sitting-still-an-elephant-sitting-stillsoundtrack] and my breath caught in my chest. I had only begun to understand what it means to be sick in a way that never ends, the way your own body can become

The Opening of the Cerebral Gate

The Opening of the Cerebral Gate

Sometimes you put on a record and it opens a door. Sometimes you open a door and there’s a world behind it. Sometimes you step into a new world and when you look back at the world you came from everything is different, transformed by the subtle vibrations of

Getaway

I was lucky to find a couple old Emergency Records 12” singles in a dollar bin last week, among them Shannon’s 1985 dance floor hit Do You Wanna Get Away (Long Version). The A-side is a pretty straightforward jam about using your work computer to look at porn [https:
