about

Location is a composite recording, assembled via two sparse and barely processed room recordings from both of my previous studios (Rolling Knoll and Botany Bay), bound together with a noise generator and a sleep-deprived, lazy handed improvisation on the Korg MS-20 analog synthesizer. Channeled live across just over two hours through an Alesis Quadraverb patched into the vintage circuits of a JVC KD-A11 cassette deck and rendered down to a very low volume via the ample EQ curves of my Peavey FX2x24 mixing board. The result is a discrete atmosphere of occasional movement in a vast pool of white noise and vaguely tonal suggestion - spaces transmuted into sound, transfigured for spaces.

NOTE: Like Ameliorator before it, Location is mastered at a quiet level, and it is recommended for playback on speakers/systems with a wide dynamic range, and headphones, preferably with noise cancelling capabilities.

Fyans is one of many documenting his modular synthesizer studies here, however, he is one of the few among them who is able to make the machines speak, instead of letting them babble. Psøma Psi Phi
