U.S. Eyes


Not a conspirationist reference to big brother spying on everyone (although I've been getting revelatory ads from Facebook these days) but rather a tribute to mid-2000 American noise. Labels like American Tapes obviously, Gods Of Tundra... The guys from Wolf Eyes, Aaron Dilloway especially but also people like C Spencer Yeh and of course Richard Ramirez (yes I'm aware these people are not exactly from the same scene, but it's still "American noise" especially seen from Europe I guess)

So we've got 3 tracks here:

"Private Sphere" is pitch-shifted voice (2 layers, one low and one high) plus the piezo going through the Fuzz Factory with the gate barely opened + Super Crunch Box + Memory Boy

"Shelter" is a white noise + 4 Eyes + Metal Zone (I heavily processed the drone after recording) + the piezo with the exact same set-up as "Private Sphere" only this time it's taped to the gorund and I'm throwing and moving stuff around. Title is the same as a split tape I shared with Werewolf Jerusalem on Dead Audio Tapes in 2013:

"Slow Master" is white noise + 4 Eyes + Grunge (lots of EQ on that one). I played guitar through the set-up, replacing the Grunge with the Super Crunch Box, and added more pitch-shifted vocals on top, whith a hard limiter to make it glitch a little.
