10 Self-Modulating Loops Made Whilst Fasting.

This is MWM002 and the first kptmichigan release since his eponymously titled 2004 album on Aesthetics. Only guitar pedals, a digital multi effects unit and a small mixing desk were used on this recording. No instruments. Straight to a regular Sony stereo cassette deck. As the title states, and the sound suggests, recorded during a period of fasting (a medical form of not eating). The gear was literally plugged into itself, enabling the set-up to generate feedbacks, drones, rhythms and so forth without the aid of a single sound source. Due to the nature of the set up, the resulting sound would be a loop (i.e. the flow of electricity). The loops were adjusted by hand but once found, they were on their own. The rec button was pressed and the kpt would leave his isolationist pod, mostly to urinate (happens often whilst fasting due to the huge amounts of water consumed). On arriving back in the pod he would either press stop or maybe turn off the pedals one by one. Due to the instability of the electric current in the pod, the loops would modulate themselves. On the last day of fasting, the loops were transfered to computer, the best chosen and mastered a few days after. The cover drawing is a landscape as seen by El Grube.

Due to the nature of this album, it is available in it`s entirety only

PLEASE NOTE

Due to the "strong" Euro our prices may seem somewhat eccentric to folks in the U.S. and other countries. But please note that you are buying directly from the makers of the music, the mp3s are sold in the highest possible resolution (which you won`t find on, for example iTunes) plus you get the artwork. But for all you Europeans it is definately a good buy.
