Soundscape 1: Surround
"If Surround can be listened to as music that’s as close to air itself, allowing us to enter each listener’s sound scenery, or as something that exists within a new perspective, expanding the middle ground between sound and music, and transforming it into a comfortable space, it would be much appreciated."- Hiroshi Yoshimura

Approaches #1
“approaches #1” is a study based on electronically amplified objects. The first phase is the selection and microphoning of objects that are familiar in everyday life and in the context of music. The second phase is the alienation and merging. Live, the tracks run through effect pedals, creating a continuous drone. “approaches #1” is a shallow monster that is both demanding and highly immersive. - rsn

Ad Hoc
Repressed! Black recycled vinyl with offset-printed covers. 'This recording was done on a four track tape recorder. Meaning the process of recording was a bit different this time around. Most of the tracks had to be recorded more or less in one take all the way through which means more room for mistakes. As I didn't have the ctrl-z option of the computer I had to try and fix my mistakes by turning them into features. This problem solving on the fly approach is why I'm calling the record ad hoc'…
