Assless Chaps by Lee Chapman and Paul* Hermansen

"It was a wonderful spring afternoon 2021, I was talking to Lee on the discord and getting hammered. We soon started recording some free improvisation duets on various acoustic instruments and voice and had quite a blast. For the later duets Lee fed our live audio into an Ableton patch he made. Listening back to the multitracks later I was a little disappointed since there were random audio cutouts happening that were not audible in the original discord chat. So I added a bit of stuff for every track, sometimes piano or some live electronics, other times I edited the material and ran it through Ableton to let it trigger autonomous midi instrumentation or a sliced sample (usually supplied by Benjamin Steinacher). For track 5 I also used some Circuit Bending that Bela did at my place with a Casio we are currently trying to break.
I think the end result holds up pretty well and is quite a fun listen." Paul* Hermansen

"I don't have any liner notes" Lee Chapman

"Damn, haunting! These glitches are really crass. Track 5 is liiiiit. I find it all really dope! Has a good vibe all of it. Thanks for letting me be part of this <3" Kenny Starks

"Nice" Bela Pruscini
