Paul Richardson Mastering

In a most general sense, variation is the lifeblood of all music, digital or not—but the substance of that variation often consists of tangible, codifiable surface-level traits or characteristics: chords, notes, rhythms, gestures are chained, cycled, forming the music’s spinal column in their act of becoming. Here, instead, we find variations in extreme abstraction: no two gestures or stretches are identical, yet each builds upon and obscures, even anonymizes, the last, transforming our position on a fixed timeline into a place on an open field. As a result, the listening process becomes that of a limitless struggle between familiarity and uncertainty, the new and the old: each gesture bears traces of the past—its past—while making us question that past’s very existence; the future, once fixed, becomes unstuck, dislodged, at once overflowing with potential and foreclosed, predetermined. Some patterns do emerge: we dizzily shift between specific frequency bands, the rhythmic material shedding and donning coatings that here pierce and there thunder. But certainty constantly slips out of our grasp; there is no legible process or series of known technical steps with which we can comfortably situate ourselves. Through this teetering—ultimately only achievable by painstaking editing and culling—the flux of knowledge makes itself felt: what is legible passes into opacity and vice versa, just as the singular outpost or foothold—that chordal burst—toggles between two states with unpredictable velocity. The result is unambiguous: a disalienation of computerized sound; the rush of possibility.

Probably one of the most "Big Deals" as far as I know being a BC user. For a ridiculous price—four bucks—you get 40 awesome tracks under SP's signature with all its meaning. This compilation is a really MUST-HAVE. My favorite track has been chosen by pure randomness. Enjoy this gift! sjah83

what should have been originally released. the lo-fi nature works wonderfully in the record's favor... feels very natural. bailey plays off of the backing quite nicely! james
