Black Creek

 

Black Creek cassette out now on Seith Communiti, physical here, if you pay for downloads you can buy it direct from Survivalist (embedded above). Or you can just stream it at the usual suspects.

 

This is how Aerin described it:

Following a series of solo releases for Canadian imprint Absurd Exposition, Toronto-based producer ANDREW NOLAN has constructed eight dizzying compositions that fuse elements of super-heavy dub, industrial hip hop and anxiety-ridden synth music into a brutal cosmopolitan synthesis. Black Creek is an attempt at assembling elements of the sonic psychogeography of 1980s Leeds, UK, and then reducing it down to what remains - "Radiophonic Workshop reimagined as a soundsystem," in the artists' own words. The tracks are tinged with a kind of subliminal horror and nauseous miasma, bleeding unwell energies from one track to the next, weaving coldly through uneasy dreamlike ambiance and intense peaks toward a somber epilogue.

Techniques are largely the same as previous releases under my own name -  Oneironautics is made entirely out of the sound of an electronic door locking system - the final form is just different from the three releases on Absurd Exposition.

Zeigarnik Effect is a kind of "this is how i made the recording".

A lot of remixes and collaborations have been done in the last few months. Both Intensive Care albums are complete, Antibodies is being released by Iron Lung and That We Be Made Worthy is being released by Closed Casket Activities.

A few hip hop records i produced should be out at various points through the year. Wait, i haven't posted about that side of my musical life over here have i? I talk about it on the Taker Wide podcast i did a year or two back.
