Here is a an unadulterated recording of a an electronic/vocal jam session performed by Dave Hicks and myself last Friday the 20th of February. It is a sprawling journey through strange habitats - haunting encounters with defiant architecture. It is also the first recording directly through desk to device - so it is relatively good quality, considering our usual lo-fi approach to capturing ourselves.
There is a weird impulse to keep recordings like this under our hats, or under our seats, out of sight - but that defies the whole "nothing remains" ethos of Chotto Matte. No matter how happy we are with a particular piece of work - we let it go, let it burn, never look back.
Paper House happened last Thursday at the Glasshouse - there were many little lessons for us in the performance. Our sound has filled out with the addition of a guitar - and the use of projections added great visual accompaniment. Without wasting anytime, we bend our crests toward the ides of March.
I am reluctant to talk at length about what we do when we're on stage - i am a little superstitious... that's all.
Hope you enjoy the recording - feedback and criticism is wanted.
Benjamin
