Ironing & Hal McGee – For The Sake Of Sound (CD-R)


This was recorded at Hal;`s place on Saturday, march 13th, 2013. on a old school 4-track cassette recorder. This is nine songs, rather long (61.49 minutes) album. They used a shitload of stuff: turntabalism, radios, minimal synth, microcassettes & cell phone, voice, vinyl scratchiness, field recordings, and groovy lock loops.  There`s a good variety of stuff at work here. They explore different styles too: weird out of control almost jazzy material ( squeeze between the knees, blue shirted boys, breakin`concrete), psychotic, schizoid improvisation  with voice and various trimmings (color theory), minimal electronics going into ambient noise territory ( yes or not?), low-fi experimental noise dirges (shapeshift), spoken word + experimental noise (for the sake of sound), blues cutups \ turntabalism + weird noise bytes (a jaunty jig) and more voice cutups + experimental noise (good & heavy). This is a difficult listen, not recommended to pop music fans. If you`re into bizarre, weird, strange improvised sessions, than this baby`s for you indeed.
