Label Description:

decomposition was recorded during the autumn of 2023. inspired by the season and its various manifestations of decay, the album came together through hours of introspection, reflection, prediction, predication, hyperfixated porings over media from and about experimental artists, a deep delve into the behaviors of magnetic tape, observations of nature interacting with and juxtaposed against fabrication, experimentation with tape loops, analog synthesizers, digital synthesizers, drifting, phasing, found art, scanning, speeding, slowing, stretching, condensing, reversing, repeating, recording, analog deterioration, digital degradation, drones, microcasettes, arrangement, disarrangement, agreement, disagreement, composition, and decomposition.
