(Re)using the aesthetic ideas that contributed to the first album,
      – Rock Standards – this is a ‘reworkings’ album –
Undercover/Avantgarde – that takes songs from various artists’ 
      catalogues
                  and
  reimagines them; stretching, squashing, ambientizing, 
       deconstructing... Instruments used are the very same as on 
                                       Standards: a kal-
                        imba, unplugged electric guitar, voice, ambient 
sounds (sleeping pills box, Scrabble noises, bangs, prods, nods, 
    tweaks and plinks), BeBot, app. drums – 
                 as well as the employment of a few techniques that the 
     bands being emulated may have used, e.g. the ‘found sound’ 
          sample on ‘Bakade Yunf Herth.’ All titles have been 
anagramized in accordance with
                  the aleatoric nomenclature of the first record, 
with one title getting
                                        a homonymic rejig…
    Undercover/Avantgarde: an homage to (some of) the greats;
standards of beauty and inspiration, aleatoricized and aleortized.
            (p.s. I know Adem’d already done ‘To Cure a Weakling Child,’
    but it’s the only riff I’ve ever figured out on my Kalimba.)

Percale (Lyricless Vocal)

The End (of Everything) pts. I, II, III & IV

Heartbeaten aleatoric ambient music utilising minimalistic means: a kalimba, a jag-stang (unplugged), twelve-string acousitc, 100watt amp feedback, stomach groans, Coke can, beer bottle, Bebot, GarageBand, voice and breath, finger-tapping, bathtub, electric toothbrush, French kid's TV stream, a Jimmy Shand and his Band 1942 shellac 10", and a load of made-up words.
