HNW = How I Felt

Static Park - How I Felt

I said I'd be back to pure static noise soon enough and here it is... HNW made with (mainly) the Fairfield 4 Eyes Fuzz and the Electro-Harmonix Metal Muff Nano, with the distortion pretty low so that you can hear the source rattle along...

I was aiming for an endless ''Little Fury Things'' scree but in the end I guess it's a bit too clean for that.. anyway, that's exactly how I felt.

"Mess" Gear

FWF Systems Piezo Mic

This piezo mic is the noise-maker of choice of Charlotte Skrobek, who records and plays live as The Girl With The Stanley Knife. For more info about her releases you can check out Ink Runs Recordings. We also have a collaborative static noise project called Flesh Clocks.

FWF Systems is a French brand and I think these mics are designed to amplify Kora musicians.

New track "Mess"

Static Park - Mess

This track was made with basicallly the same set-up as Sky, Chords And Lines, Fender Strat on one side and Zvex Fuzz Factory + Digitech Death Metal on the other. This time the noise source is a FWF Systems Piezo Mic played by The Girl With the Stanley Knife.

Sample Park - Handmade Beats = a collection of hip-hop instrumentals FREE DL

Sample Park - Handmade Beats

Here is something different.. I made a selection from the zillions of Hip-Hop instrumentals I made these last months with a sampler and an electric bass. These are pretty lo-fi Boom-Bap beats, full of jazz and weird samples so I decided to « release » them under the Sample Park banner because there simply is no static here. At least no voluntary static..


I think I've got some more stuff like this in me for the future but I'll be back to HNW pretty soon... In the meantime : This is what it is...


The collection can be downloaded for free from Bandcamp. Enjoy !


PS : If you want to use one of these for whatever reason, just mention my name somewhere and link me up. THX

Reading

Is It My Body ? - Kim Gordon - Sternberg Press

Going on with the Sonic Youth tip these days, listening to old albums and reading this newish collection of texts by Kim Gordon. These are articles / essays about music (so far I've read the ones about Rhys Chatham, Glenn Branca and No Wave), feminism, visual arts... As expected KG is a fine writer, not striving for Academic forced obscurity but rather very clear and heartfelt.
