Your Life Has Been Deciphered For You – reformulate sacrosanct impulses (CD-R)



Since 1986, `Your Life Has Been…For You `has been an international artist collaboration arranged by Zan Hoffman (Zanstones, Bodycocktail, ZH27). There`s no melody, no song structure, no lyrics, therefore this is not music per se. There`s some noise bits, no harsh noise, therefore it`s not a pure noise album either. It is an interesting recording, there`s a nice blend of `musical` moments mixed with ambience, lo-fi ambient noise, found sounds / samples, field recordings, sounds of unknown origins, with a good dose of silence / minimalism included. Upon the first listen, I thought that this was some type of improvised wanking / noodling. To be honest after repeated listening, I can say, yes it does feel improvised, but it`s also been edited. In fact it sounds pretty damned good, in it`s own particular style. What style you might ask? I would say organized aural chaos with homemade subtlety / sensitivity / serenity perhaps. For the curious, more open minded music listener out there. I like it, therefore you should (just kidding). Lots of freebies here: https://archive.org/details/zh27
