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.
[00:00] 1. Blast Tunnel
[02:39] 2. Infinite Data Expansion Wave
[04:36] 3. Hallucinogenic Hyperspace Delirium
[07:24] 4. Phantasmal Off-World
[09:48] 5. Shifting
[12:38] 6. Unrecognised Coordinates

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.

This event takes place on the stolen land of the Wurundjeri people and we pay respects to elders past and present, as well as all First Nations people to who we owe immeasurable reparations for harm done through ongoing colonisation and genocide. The venue and artists will contribute part of the takings to pay the rent.

This venue has limitations to accessibility. There are small steps at the entrance and to the beer garden exit which leads to the toilets. Parking can be difficult due to it being a busy street but there are spaces to pull up for dropping off. The number 11 tram stops at the entrance to the venue at stop 17.

The venue has gender neutral bathrooms.

You can text the organiser on 0400804316 if you are feeling unsafe at this event, or if you would like someone to talk to or introduce you to people if you are coming on your own, and you will be treated with respect and discretion.

SPASMOSLOP on MIUC Online

I recently contributed a video for Make It Up Club’s current online gig series… and of course I forgot to mention it here in time for the stream but you can watch the whole gig, and all the previous ones, on the MIUC youtube channel now.
My home recording set-up is pretty shit and I’m not too stoked about how this turned out sound-wise but it was fun/stressful to do. Thanks MIUC for having me!
HOT TIP: UMBILICAL TENTACLE will be doing a collab with Christian Bishop A.K.A. XIAN for the last MIUC of the year streaming on the 22nd of December!

Fart Swash!

Haven’t updated here for ages… I haven’t really done any “proper” music/noise during the pandemic but I did get this amazing new noise machine from my friend and humble genius Electrofarts, which I’m calling the FART SWASH. It’s an Electrofarts interpretation of the 4MS Noise Swash and it sounds fuggin siiiiiiick!!!
