SPASMOSLOP – F.A. 1 Transmission video

I finally made a video for my 2023 audio response to visual score “Frequency Assembly 1” created by Tina Douglas for “hypha_e” visual score/performance project – http://tinadouglas.net/hypha_e
One 15-minute track in 6 parts/”scenes”, representing my interpretation of the 6 panels of the visual score. Abstract worlds, ambiguous realities, transmissions of unknown origin, and other mysterious sci-fi shit.

This is the most involved thing I’ve ever done with SPASMOSLOP. I had the artwork on the wall of my studio for about a year and a half, gradually making recordings of what I thought it sounded like, bouncing back & forth between the visuals and the sound, adding layers and nitpicking the fuck out of everything as ideas came to me. Big thanks to Tina for the inspiration and coordination!
Among many firsts that came about in this process, it’s also the first time I’ve ever had a SPASMOSLOP recording properly mastered – by Jason Fuller at Goatsound – and it sounds amazing, especially with headphones. He also mastered this while we were at it and completely transformed it into what I wanted it to be. Thanks Jason!
Floating on inspiration from this project, I’ve been slowly recording a new SPASMOSLOP album for the last year or so which is nearly finished and should be out this year if I can have the self control to stop tinkering with it.
