Metal Spirit by Cameron Day & Estlin Usher

Released on Structures Without Purpose, AUG2020

STRUCTURE 38

C60 - To be upon the grinding earth amongst the decrepit structures coated in dead vines, still drenched in the haunting clatter & clang of a factory line, to be a phantom plucking at broken strings inside these cavernous tombs of industry…

METAL SPIRIT presents Estlin Usher & Cameron Day coming together for two long-form movements of reprocessed tape recordings dense in mystique & movement, and approached with a deep admiration for the process of tape musik & the potential therein. There is a ghostly presence ever looming in these pieces, and still no moment passes where the duo’s precise attention to detail isn’t felt. Heavy caresses of dizzying stereo-field play, granular textures, trilling loops abundant. Laborious Electro-Acoustic. - Description by Rush Falknor

Dubbed in real time directly from source audio on HX Pro Dolby NR cassette decks.
