about

This is a noise album recorded between early 2021 and early 2022.

It was inspired by the confluence of several things:

- reading The Saga of the Swamp Thing
- my house suddenly being filled with a lot more plants than usual
- extensive time spent in nature just prior to and during the pandemic
- growing up next to a swamp and never really leaving it in my mind

Multiple tracks use field recordings I made from 2019-2021 on a zoom h1n. Sound sources range from a cemetery in rural New York to the lakefront of Chicago to invasive Australian frogs on a small island in Hawaii.

I have been making noise in some capacity since 2006. In this album I experiment with more softness and tonality (in the first few tracks) than I have in the past. The harsh stuff, meanwhile, is also a departure in a way: I relied on some new gear in order to have more reproducible and "practice-able" setups instead of my usual no-input feedback setup on an old Tascam mixer. I originally wanted this album to be all soft, tonal, and full of negative space but ultimately could not give up my harsh roots.

I'll spin this inconsistency with a bullshit artist statement I'm making up on the spot...something about how the swamp is full of soft mosses and squishy frogs, but somewhere in that muck are the jagged bony remains of an eternity of death and decay.
