about

The first of the 3-part collaboration sessions between Sindre Bjerga & Tanto.

Smoked-up electronics blended with field recording spices, live tape manipulation magic, theremin extracts and vocal insanity.

Originally released on CD on the label Chocolate Monk [choc.490].

From the label's website:
"In the midst of it all, I managed to escape for a while through secret tunnel passages to meet up with Tanto in his underground lab where piles of tape machines were oozing and buzzing, dozens simultaneously, and as I hooked my stuff up to the main frame, it started to overheat, creaking, thumping, melting until the sounds themselves were set on fire and then language itself combusted into a cloud of fog, words and meaning went up in smoke and we were cast into the big, deep hum of vaporized sound, words and meaning".
All this happened April-May 2020 and was luckily caught on tape on the only surviving tape deck in the lab.
