semidecapitation techniques by Epilepsy
two more noise/guitar duets. the first track is a classic mashup of downtuned guitar noodling and mixer feedback. the second is a very very very very loose interpretation of camille saint-saëns' "le cygne." the guitar part is most inspired by clara rockmore's famous theremin performance of the piece (really only like 2 bars of it, lmao) while the noise part was created by taking field recordings of the traffic on portland's powell boulevard and processing the audio in vcv rack. the artwork was done by my talented and illustrious friend andrew brown. lets hear it for andrew and clara, yall <3
