- Source Cognitive Drive - Transmissions 1996-1998 will come out on Ecstatic next month.
Ecstatic has compiled early recordings from Gavin Russom's Paper Eyes project, due out on May 6th.
The Paper Eyes material is two decades old. Russom recorded the music upon moving from Providence to NYC, and he says it reflects an inspiring moment in the the city's underground music scene. "Arriving in New York I found myself surrounded by an incredibly intense field of stuff to take in," he says. "Late night radio mixes with distinctly New York sounds like freestyle and hip hop, clubs where house, techno and jungle played to drugged-out and/or completely sober sweaty crowds and beard scratchers alike, no wave, new wave, disco, Afro-Carribean, art rock and experimental music records I would pick up at thrift shops or used record stores."
The tracks were recorded on reel-to-reel tape machines with a couple of Casios and a Univox synth, plus a mic and a reverb pedal from Radio Shack, as well as a few other bits of rugged hardware. It's due out next month on Ecstatic Recordings, the label run by Alessio Natalizia, AKA Not Waving.
