about

Following ABX78 / Tone Canal & Continent is another recent live Coppice Halifax set - an eight section dub techno floorshaker called Vibrafoam Dub.

Vibrafoam is slightly related to the recently drafted White Pillar 9 release, which has yet to be issued, in that it is built using almost the exact same equipment configuration. Improvised live on hardware alone, in a dark room, this set pushes sub-bass speaker response to a hard limit, exploring heavy low frequencies with the assistance of ring modulation and resonant filters. Above the thick bottom slabs of bass rattle are punctuations of snares, percussion and hi hats, augmented by a surrealistic atmosphere built from the reverb trails of a piezoelectric microphone and a medical tone generator. Subtle color changes waft in and out of the mix, in the form of detuned synthesizer sequences, chord stabs that eventually become longer voices of pads (and vice versa) and a generally restrained melodic sense that presages the minimalism of Tone Canal & Continent, which was actually recorded after Vibrafoam. A deep and sometimes dark dub techno excursion, with strains of the White Pillar series and recent Occur recordings seeping through - and recommended for fans of my work in either of those outlets.
