about

metempsychosis (1984-1992)

During the lockdowns of 2020 I used the time to go through a very large number of cassettes and DAT tapes. Some of the material I uncovered ended up as the soundtrack to my podcast-series The Constellation.

In this release I collect together other recordings that I decided are pieces in their own right and that have never been released before.

The pieces are so layered that it's difficult to pinpoint where and when they were made - some of the original source material is from cassettes from the mid 1980's.They combine acoustic instruments, field recording, analogue and digital processing, tape manipulation, sampling, granular synthesis and Jo Scherpenisse's legendary VOSIM synthesiser.

Some were recorded in various studios in Sheffield in the late 80's, but most were produced at the Institute of Sonology, Den Haag between 1988 and 1992.

hylo and melisso both use a sample from the record "The Music of the Ba-Benzélé Pygmies", recorded by Simha Arom and Geneviève Taurelle in 1965 and released by Bärenreiter-Musicaphon in 1966.
