Cloud Cataract



I made this up at home, August-September 2011; released 01 October 2011

1. Produced and mixed by Harrison, who also played the guitar and keyboards.

2. Some other people appear on this, including musicians and speakers from the Voyager Golden Record, some poets reading their work, and a Cambodian psychedelic band. These works have been extracted from their original contexts and repurposed to fit into the context of this work. The EP generally serves as discursive space wherein disparate sound elements with obscured referents are brought into a carefully facilitated dialogue with one another. Thus, their utilization constitutes commentary (on prevalent contemporary social and political issues) and critique (of the original works and my own work).

3. Also my dad is in this. He says the words "Heart of Texas" and contributes to the discourse on the Western category "Song" in the first track.

4. The cover is a detail from a photograph taken by Becky Yi.

5. Adorno said it was like a fog.
