Animals Like Earthquakes – Animals Like Earthquakes (cassette)



`Animals Like Earthquakes`is Tim Collapse`s solo  ambient / noise / sound collage project.. There`s six songs  on this here cassette (with a total running time of 42.53 minutes). To give you, the reader a better idea of what`s in store for us, here`s a brief description of them tracks:                                                                         1 -  8. 15. 2013 (2.17 minutes): various slowed down, processed voice samples colliding = a psychedelic / psychotronic chill-out experience.
2-  Piece for acoustic guitar no.1 (thunder) (7.08 minutes): processed / mangled samples + acoustic guitar manipulations = a low-fi minimal, nearly ambient piece, which is relaxing. 
3 – Annette (7.32 minutes): voice samples + short noise bursts + lots of sound collages = low-fi experimental minimalism / isolationism perhaps. I love this piece.
4 - Sometimes the world just bears down on you (4.16 minutes): found sounds + processed voice samples = a beautiful, peaceful slab of minimalism (miam, miam).
5-   8.15.2013 (part 2)  (6.16 minutes): various echoing sound sources + voice samples = a strangely meditative sonic invasion.

6-  If you'd like to make a call... (15.30 minutes):  voices + found sounds + various phone samples (voice, noise, answering machine sounds, you name it)  = a strange alliance of ambient noise experimentalism + musique concrete (not for the faint of ears). This was an interesting yet challenging listening experience, well worth the effort. Highly recommended.
