about
This one started with a field recording that remains here as an *unmodified original*. It is the anchor over which a slowly shifting 'scape emerges.
A highway gas station on a drive across provinces. Opening the car door I heard the tall reeds being pushed around intermittently by blustery winds, a chorus of crickets were activating their pointillist beacons in the grass; nearby trucks were repositioning and blasting their air brakes, issuing response to the insects with their own chorus of horns; all around in the distance, the wind and clusters of automobiles were exchanging the air; ventilation systems wheezing, gravel underfoot; I stopped to enjoy the feeling that I was a solo audience observing a spectacle, secretly through-composed.
Later, at home with the memory of that moment, remembering the feeling of listening, the memory augmented, feeling enhanced, a memory supplanted by a synth.
Composed upon, and mixed au treizème in August, 2019.
Absolutely gorgeous. Masterful assemblage spanning continents and probably years. Featuring an amazing cast of contributors. No two tracks alike. This record flows and disrupts at once; like a dream. autreizième
A personal fav from this incredibly prolific run by Jim O'Rourke. Ferrari-esque. Any Steamroom release is a world unto its own. Turn out the lights, you're at the sonic spa and there's only deep end. autreizième
