*50 copies limited edition* "It was a slow growing body of work with material continuously transforming, being re-recorded and discarded, lost sounds emerging from forgotten loops and a few staple tracks dragging at me to dig deeper. I also found myself working on other music during this time and gradually the Blue Cut tapes went lingering into hibernation.

However, early spring brought me focus when I was unable to play music due to surgery I had undergone. Seemingly, the only way of creating music that was left to me was working with these loops. It gave me resolve that I would endure making music, whichever way possible. So I started assembling sounds in a flurry, excited to dive in deep one last time and put these tapes to rest, further carving my way into tape music. A process fragmented in time but ultimately bound by its form, crystallizing itself when its existence appeared most fragile." - Ben Van Houdt
