Vanishing Insects

04 Jun, 2019

Digital self-release

A pair of unrelated albums.

Vanishing is a bunch of fragmentary vignettes recorded with a MIDI keyboard and played back by a granular synth. The source sample is a heavily compressed recording of a single struck church bell.

Insects comprises mainly manipulations of piezo and electret recordings of Dubia cockroaches and mealworm beetles. Prior to processing, some of these samples too were rendered at very low bit rates.
