Grammostola

CD-R/digital released by Linear Obsessional, 16 April 2016

Grammostola cover art

Pads and textures realised with granular synthesis. Pretty much everything was derived from two vintage Finnish choir records.

Instruments and techniques: DAW (Ableton)

The cover photo depicts the inner side of a Grammostola porteri tarantula carapace. The animal which shed it has been in my care since the early 2000s and, as of October 2023, remains very much alive.

Mastered by Fraser McGowan

The EP Bristle, also mastered by Fraser and released on tape by Kaukana Väijyy Ambient, preceded this album in October 2015. I consider the releases linked as both emerged from the same process and sessions.
