  • [Ashcan Edition #ACRM0003] "Leafcolumn" Limited Recycled Art Assemblage & CD-R Set
    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    In the interest of reducing waste as much as possible, and given how much material is produced every year maintaining a back catalog as well as current releases in my studio, I became fascinated with using the things that usually end up thrown away to facilitate other new things instead. Recycled art has been around for a long time, but this would be something just a bit more than that - it would remain intrinsically connected to the musical process that generated these pieces of waste to begin with. I began with making unique limited editions of releases that had some cosmetic flaw about them - smudged ink on the disc face, a defect on a cassette's playback - and fashioning these castaway items into their own royal presentations. These were the first Ashcan Editions, and so I am now expanding and continuing this format by assembling pieces of frameable, hangable "low art" - conceptually and aesthetically existing somewhere between a framed photograph and something more original and substantial. Inspired by prior iterations of recycled art, junkyard art and Duchamp's infamous "readymades", they are projections of both artistic intent and utilitarian conservationism. These pieces are created using slabs of ultra-thick painter's matboard and assembling repetitive patterns out of offcuts from the glossy photographic prints I order en-masse for using as CD-R inserts. They resemble visual echoes of the original album cover, and each one made is completely unique to itself. They come signed and numbered, and are shipped in a protective plastic bag, ready to be framed, pinned to the wall or even just placed on a countertop or shelf somewhere as an aesthetic piece.

    Featured here is a signed and numbered set of six pieces, bearing the title "LEAFCOLUMN", using offcuts from the glossy photographic print cover inserts for Green Pharming. They vary slightly in size, generally measuring about 5x7", and ships with a copy of the Green Pharming CD-R.

about

Green Pharming is a recording of a live in studio Halifaxian improvisation, which was streamed via video/audio broadcasting online on the night of November 18th, 2017, for an invite-only audience of the Milieu Music Fan Club ( www.patreon.com/analogbotany ). It was created using only hardware, no computers, and has been mastered completely intact, without edits or any post-processing that would obscure the source material.

Musically, it could be considered the liminal space between the Verdant Acre series and the Static Pharming series, as the title reflects. It utilizes live orchestral vinyl sampling in the same way Verdant Acre did, and transmutes that sound into atmospheric waves that wash over and under a foundation of a Yamaha RY-20 drum machine, a Korg Volca Sample & MS-20 monophonic analog synthesizer, an Arturia Microbrute monophonic analog synthesizer, a DSI MoPho monophonic analog synthesizer, a Grass C-TCM generator, a Unisonic receiver and a host of analog and digital FX, such as Moog low pass filter and MIDI MuRF, Boss RV-3 & SL-20, Alesis Quadraverb, BBE Two Timer, Digitech Envelope Filter and Pioneer SR202W spring reverb, all channeled through a Peavey FX2x24 hybrid mixing desk.

Passing through phases of submerged dub warmth and vibrant psychedelic peaks, Green Pharming is a deep excursion through the ever-familiar Halifaxian sonic lands - drugged blue ambient seas, looming shadowy texture forests and a rhythmic presence as constant as a heartbeat - proving once again that somewhere in my musical subconscious, these locations can be revisited, albeit with varying degrees of clarity.

Two editions of this release have been produced - one standard CD-R edition, and a second more limited (only six) edition that includes a one of a kind readymade art assemblage. Additionally, rehearsal/tuning recordings done in preparation for this live set were selectively culled and mutated into a four-EP set called Phyllex, and these EPs will be issued subsequently.
