Troubled Heart by Saif Mode

Saif Mode is the electronic bloop project of TAAE's resident recording engineer Ben Hunter.

Over the last 6 months he's been making a glorious cassette of syncopated bleeps and squeaks, he had this to say for himself.

"I was reading a lot about early Christianity at the time while simultaneously listening to music by people like Cluster and Terry Riley, so the music is really a collision of those two things. The history of early Christianity is actually fairly chaotic, but you get a sense that the converts to Christianity found in it a beautiful simplicity that wasn't really there in the Greco-Roman paganism of the time.

This synthesis is most obviously crystalized in the simple electronic meditations Tristan 1865 and x0z9.

This idea is going to be developed in the Saif Mode live shows and future releases, which will rely more on automated hardware in an attempt to emulate the gnostic idea of innate knowledge. With small tweaks the hardware will emanate beauty that is already inherent within it".

This release (AUD036) is now available to purchase as a D/L or a limited cassette.

The Audacious Art Experiment is more than a record label. We’re a community mindset that yearns for something more than nine to five, consumer lead culture and aim to take back our chosen social freedoms, artistic expressions and community spirit from the companies trying to sell them to us. Music is our voice and the records we make are the product of our beliefs, dreams and desires.
