Jalenusdksreee Wd Ao Njndolehernyss Eo Nn - Jalajd

Jalenusdksreee Wd Ao Njndolehernyss Eo Nn - Jalajd
Recorded sometime in the early 2000s
Released September 23, 2015

A live improvised collaboration between Jesse Andersen (OKFox, USMilk), 
Andrew Johnson (Manchester Bulge, Lava-Proof Boots) and Luke Donley (Titus Twimbly, NorskuBouty Hutlers). As I recall, Andrew and Jesse made sounds with various boxes and effects, which were fed into Luke's computer, sampled and manipulated on the fly. The end result is an abstracted, cavernous swirl of noise, analogue and digital fighting for supremacy.

Edwin Perry Manchester - Open Hand

Edwin Perry Manchester - Open Hand
Recorded February 22, 2012
Released June 28, 2014

An insect orchestra, trained over the course of two years using the principles of genetic memory, the so-called "hive mind" and Skinner-style reinforcement. They performed this piece and were exterminated shortly after, although upon listening to the recording we realized that the microphones were set up incorrectly, so what you actually hear is a reconstruction by Mr. Manchester using feedback and skipping cd samples (which sadly sound nothing like the original performance).

Edwin Perry Manchester - Autumn 1986: The Haunted Radio

Edwin Perry Manchester - Autumn 1986: The Haunted Radio
Recorded February 21, 2012
Released June 21, 2014

Actual ghost recordings, aka "EVP", from a haunted radio recorded September-October 1986. Marvel at sounds which appear to come from much later in time, but because of a localized folding of spacetime contained within this particular radio happened at all times at once. This representative piece was edited from twenty eight reel to reel recordings. William O'Neil, inventor of the Spiricom, said "When I heard it, I was flabbergasted" (reconstructed from EVP recordings of O'Neil's childhood home).
