tvc 14 - stones projected downward


TVC is remorphing audio and builds a collage of drones, cultmovie excerpts, psychedelic soundscapes, verbal essences, freefolk flashes, reverse verses, electronic rugs and easy hiccups. Most source material is processed and merged in layers of drones, film excerpts and field recordings. Headphones essential.

The first part of this episode contains the voice of JG Ballard. Just after finalizing this part, I heard the news that Ballard, one of the best writers of the last century, had died. An architect by words of “dystopian modernity, bleak man-made landscapes & the psychological effects of technological, social or environmental developments”. See also here: http://www.myspace.com/ballardtribute. May he rest in peace.
