Chefkirk / Somnaphon : Tender Pink Movements

New Release from Bicephalic Records:


Chefkirk / Somnaphon : Tender Pink Movements
Bicephalic Records - BC006 - c20 cassette split
http://www.bicephalic.net/bc006.html

Two great tastes that taste great together:
A cassette split featuring Roger Smith (Chefkirk, _whALe_pLAtE_, Insects with Tits, Control Valve netlabel) and August Traeger (Somnaphon, Nipple Stools, Food World, Bicephalic Records). For this release, Chefkirk creates a sparse minimal glitch cut-up piece of sound and Somnaphon manipulates midi data to create a smeared electro-atmosphere. Great for a nice walk in the park or for a bad walk in the street... whatever you're into.

Chefkirk is Roger H Smith is no-input mixing board is location recordings is microcassette is sampler is cpu is controlvalve.net
Recorded 2010-2011 @ HOME

Somnaphon is August Traeger + hardware/software manipulation.
