about

Earth Eraser follows the previous two live albums Tone Canal & Continent and Vibrafoam Dub with a triple-volume set of improvised synthesizer sprawl and electronic deep diving. Comprised of material from two different live sets (each broadcast online for the Milieu Music Fan Club here: www.patreon.com/analogbotany ) plus an "alignment" mix, created from the salvaged pieces of a previously broadcast live set that was so riddled with audio problems that it can never be released in full, Earth Eraser is a varied trip that begins with Vladislav Delay-influenced analog meandering, created using a no-input analog setup of three Moog units, a Korg MS-20 and an Arturia Microbrute. From there, the "alignment" moves through hypnotic sections of Microbrute stabs soaked in spring reverb and ring modulation alongside a Korg sampler mulching up a forward-backward drum machine. 1.2 reprises many of the sounds heard in 1.1, but further transforms them over/under rhythmic anchors from a Yamaha RY-20 and a Korg Volca Beats, and even slips in some warbling acid lines on a Volca Bass. By the time the 3rd disc arrives, 2.1 resets the brain with another no-input drone and negative space kick drum produced by the MS-20, giving way to the most melodic parts of the set in 2.2. Arpeggiators and almost-Berlin-school sequencing dominate this final set, which even dips very slightly into early nineties trance music before dropping itself into a void of feedback tails and whispering white noise.

Altogether, a formidable tableaux of bedroom electronics, processed and performed with a Halifaxian approach that recalls moments from the Deep Earth series and albums like South Sentral Positronix. Recommended for fans of either.
