These videos have in terms of kinesthetics or proprioception a vivid interaction with the mind. the audio is very calming and the visuals very clear and bold. it left me with a strong feeling of being high !
it's a little like an i-dose but maybe more like a magic eye, enjoy with caution ! AUTHORITY • STONE CRAFT
this home-made disc was given to me at the santa swap of 2009 at Nick's house in Brighton, MA. it turned out to be one classic album in the year two thousand one one, putting us together despite his living in Korea.
for those unfamiliar to Nick's music it has the lo-fi sentimental feel of ariel pink with a softer ambience accompanied by indistinct vocals.
when i got the album i got stuck on the trackless info in my music player, and i got the idea to name the titles myself, so i named them calling the album originally "Reese Perro"
Nick's thoughts in an email dated 2/9/2010:
"luke, Alot of these are really great. It's funny to see someone's interpretation of the lyrics, since I purposely obfuscate them to the point of being left open to interpretation. i'd like to use a few of these over the original titles, but I thought it was particularly funny that you chose to name a song "bleach shirt" that was originally titled "filthy jeans" (weird, right?)
Also I'm not sure why, but the album art you sent is not appearing
i'm glad you liked it though. we should have a jam sometime in the near future nick"
this record features Eric's poem printed in the booklet. the audio is reversed but the poem reads through the backwards audio.
Nicky Smith, an interviewer from SpliceToday gets information on this:
ST: You lived in Morocco within the last two years or so. What was the experience like and what did you accomplish there?
EC: My wife and I spent about three months there in 2010—we saved some money and lived cheap. I traveled without any musical equipment, so I started writing while there and ended up with a recording that was released by Fusetron called Aladdin. Not really sure where it all came from. Certainly not for everybody.
ST: How was Aladdin written? How did you get yourself in that cut-up state of mind?
EC: It's not so much the cut ups that attracted me but the strength of words. I don't usually focus much on words in music. I was not able to speak much during my time there so I developed a slightly skewed attitude towards English and Aladdin was the result.
Released back in 2010 it had a 1 per person limit from fusetron and a full release of 100 copies.
found this at Desert Island, a comic book shop in Brooklyn. quick response from them, and shipped it on the same day. bought the last copy in the store ! sorry !
