haraam
and dffdl
12
years
whether
you're a fan of dffdl's sprawling-yet-intricate immersive drone pieces,
or an enthusiast of haraam's iconoclastic agitprop noise, 12 YEARS
brings you the best of both.
improvised
completely live and recorded direct to PC at World Famous Guitar and Plunger
Studios (South Gippsland), this 35 minute journey combines the intense
meditative aspects of dffdl's more recent works with the destructive
waves of boom-and-bust we associate with haraam's output. but this
collaboration is not a mathematical act of pure addition: this collaboration is
much more than the sum of its parts.
disquieting
field recordings, anxious pummeling rhythmic pulses, stretched distortions,
humyn voices, and wave after wave of crashing self-devouring full-system
feedback cycles combine in a piece that rises and falls, thrashes and hums,
twitches and swells. it fills with gas and expands until the blackened
skin bursts. it bloats and rots. it seethes and simmers and makes
trails in the air.
released through the very accomodating KV&GR/RECS in portland, oregon, and featuring perplexing neural-net artwork by melbourne's very own mat blackwell, this catatonic behemoth of a recording can be streamed for free, or purchased on CD.
