"Oaxaca Dawn" and "Bamboo" are two raw, unadulterated, and unpretentious snapshots of specific moments in time and space: the early morning cracking of dawn in Oaxaca, Mexico and a windy afternoon in a Hana bamboo forest on Maui, Hawaii. Individually These audio documents are gorgeously simple, matter-of-fact presentations of travels. Together they are a recollection of their natural beauty, impossible to adequately render by any other means.
"I was struck by the cacophony of sounds at the dawn of light in the'suburb'of Oaxaca where I was staying. It woke me everyday of my week long stay. It was like a barnyard turned up to 11. I brought a DAT machine and two Audio Technica microphones for the purpose of making field recordings on the trip. I woke up before the sun came up and set up the equipment in the dark. The first sound on the record is the moment the sun came over the horizon.
The bamboo forests on Maui were seared into my memory from my first time in Hawaii. On my second trip, armed with a first edition Edirol digital recorder, I hung out in the forest for a couple of hours to make the recordings. distinct sounds (though there are more). The wood block clunking of the stocks, the squeaking of the thin branches flicking and slipping off neighboring plants and the white noise rustling of the leaves on top of the giant clusters. "
This beautiful LP features site-specific recordings and photographs by Tom Recchion, a sound and visual artist / composer / potter / art director and graphic designer. He is the co-founder of the legendary Los Angeles Free Music Society (LAFMS) and has been an active, integral participant in the arts for more than forty years. Recchion lives in Pasadena, California. "

Instruments used were primarily the Buchla and the Nord, which were then processed via magnetic tape, lending a tactile, organic quality to the work — appropriate as “The Earth Has Memory” tells of a descent to the center of the earth. Purely abstract resonances dominate this chronicle, reflecting the mystery of what lies beneath the surface. High-pitched tones occasionally appear, like glimpses of light showing through the cracks while looking up from within the earth.

The goal of that program was to bring together various artists whose work pertained directly or indirectly to environmental recordings. When John asked me about what kinds of spaces I was interested in seeking out before I arrived, I mentioned that I would like to investigate sites that had a considerable amount of electro-magnetic disruption which I could capture on radio along with sites of psychic distress.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Estonian landscape is pocked with abandoned buildings of considerable size and decay. Many of the excursions for Active Crossover engaged the large crumbling Soviet-era structures.

The crackle, drone, and noise is unlike that which is heard in the United States, looming with a (possibly perceived) paranoia of the Russian state just a few kilometers away. That said, Estonia had experienced an encroachment from Russia as the Russian military kidnapped\/extradited an Estonian intelligence officer who was on Estonian soil at the time not too far from where I was staying. Given the contemporary military actions of Russia reclaiming Crimea from Ukraine, this incident put many an Estonian on edge.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe A-side to 'Flammable Materials' reflects this aestheticized paranoia through bursts of static, pulsed noise, and atonal sinews of sustained frequency. The B-side is wholly more introspective, cutting up an Estonian radio broadcast into phonemes, disjointed phrases, and cryptic speech. What few words that can be recognized from the Estonian pertain to the forces of globalization. From the context of someone who understands very little of the language, these snippets of a female voice clip like a surrealist collage or a Dada poem.

This is a record released by Jim Haynes, head of post-industrial label Helen Scarsdale in California, USA, on Elevator Bath, an experimental label in Texas, in 2018.Contains 4 drone songs - a collage using electromagnetic waves and radio collected in the ruins of Estonia.This is a clear disc. DL code included.Below is an explanation by the author himself. "Most of this album was written, recorded and sketched while in Estonia at MoKS for a program called ``Active Crossover'' organized by Simon Wissam and John Grzynic.The purpose of this program was to bring together a variety of artists directly or indirectly involved in environmental recordings.When John asked me before I arrived what kind of spaces I was interested in exploring, I said I wanted to explore places with significant radio-recordable electromagnetic disturbances, as well as places of psychological distress.Estonia's landscape is dotted with sizable, decaying ruins.Many of the excursions for the active crossover involved large crumbling Soviet-era buildings.The electricity was cut off in many of these places, so they had to rely on shortwave waves to pick up the electromagnetic disturbances, rather than the fluctuations caused by shitty wiring and weird Soviet transformers...and identify them. At that time, the radio reception from that particular location (namely southeastern Estonia) was eerie and unsettling.The crackles, drones and noises are unlike anything heard in America, looming with the (perhaps perceived) paranoia that the Russian state is just a few miles away.By the way, Estonia had experienced an invasion from Russia.The Russian military had kidnapped and handed over an Estonian intelligence officer who was in Estonia, not far from where I was staying.The incident left many Estonians in suspense, given Russia's modern military campaign to retake Crimea from Ukraine. Side A of Flammable Materials reflects this aestheticized paranoia through bursts of static electricity, pulsing noise, and streaks of atonal sustained frequencies. The B-side is more introspective, cutting phonemes, disjointed phrases and cryptic dialogue from Estonian radio broadcasts.The few words you can hear in Estonian are about the power of globalization.To someone who barely understands Estonian, these fragments of women's voices look like surrealist collages or Dada poems.Compositionally, I was very conscious of Robert Ashley's ``Purposeful Lady Slow Afternoon'' and ``Nurse With Wound,'' which is a recontextualization of this kind of sound.
