about

YOUNG,GIFTED&WACK / Noisy Meditation

Produced, Written, Arranged by FIRST AID
All Field Recordings by FIRST AID with EarPods Mic
Visualized by HOBIN
bit.ly/EpocheVisual

In 2014-2015, I created something using noiseful recording snippets based on the EarPods microphone.

The sound of heavy iron doors closing in coffee shop, inexplicable sounds echoing in quiet hallways, fragmented and non-functional dialogue voices collected from here and there, the sound of the microphone brushing against clothing, fragments of ordinary guitar playing, spontaneous humming and murmuring, and countless other sound fragments erased from memory are transformed, cut, and assembled until meaningful units emerge.

Starting from curiosity about how uncontrollable fragments will be shaped through organization, and what musical meaning they will acquire, I arrived at the result of an album.

At this point, I become curious about how the meaning woven from randomness can be interpreted differently. Art director HOBIN combines this result with visually unexpected, diverse, and even confusing imagery. A sense of instability replaces the perception of stability, emitting a strangely alien charm.

Ultimately, this journey becomes meaningful as a movement away from standardization and patterns, where fragments of auditory and visual elements are roughly assembled. What conclusions will you reach on this sensory journey? It may not be as difficult as you think. It may even be more familiar than you realize.

Loving the hell out of that bouncing break in Four Archetypes! But I'm old so I have to give the nod to all the retro feels Pstalemate is giving me with those classic stabs and vocal samples. Cakes
