± by Nicholas Maloney

Nashville, Tennessee's Nicholas Maloney casts upon us his first modern tapes release. After stellar offerings on labels the likes of Park70, Unfathomless, Modern Concern and Invisible City, Nicholas coaxes us along a slow crawl through field recordings scattered, diced and smothered.

further compositional insight can be provided by Nicholas himself.
"± was born out of several sessions using Max/MSP + ppooll environment in conjunction with a library of field recordings gathered February-September 2022. The sessions were recorded directly to tape then later edited and arranged further to form the compositions presented here. Some of the source material on "4304 (oganesson)" was taken directly from a room recording of a live performance in Chattanooga, TN using the same ppooll setup."

cassettes, some vinyl and their digital counterparts.

synths, machines, noise and other forms of subversive audio.
