The Minus Touch (Everything I Touch Turns To Mould)

BUY VINYL: http://www.darkentriesrecords.com/store/dark-entries/bill-converse-meditationindustry-lp/

Immersed in the early days of the 90s midwest rave scene, Bill Converse began DJing at a young age in Lansing, Michigan. Luminaries such as Claude Young, Traxx, and Twonz were key early influences. Since moving to Texas in 1998, he has experimented with analog techniques in varied studio bunkers. Early techno, noise, ambient, tape, and paranormal processing are all part of his uncanny sound palette.

“Meditations/Industry” is Converse's debut vinyl release, collecting material from a cassette release on Obsolete Future. The tracks were recorded to tape with no overdubs in 2012-2013. As the title implies, the album places meditation inside tactile sonic processes. Bill is informed by his surroundings, influenced by scenes of desolation in nature, the sea, the desert, and places of industry, like power stations, old factories, and warehouses. The songs on this full length reveal a sublime influence from Detroit techno, early Chicago house, and Acid.

The album was recorded and mixed by Bill at his home studio in Austin and mastered by Dave Alex. All songs were EQed for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. A custom-made jacket designed by our in-house designer Eloise Leigh incorporates the abstract cobalt glaciers, reminiscent of blueprints, over a dark gray background. Each copy includes a postcard with notes and a photograph of a mountain range that looks like ocean waves.

demo reel / prequel / teaser for upcoming album 'new sound of seoul'



demo beats for new sound of seoul

Presented here for your pleasure & consideration, a live set recorded in mine homestead on the 20th April 2016.

It's been recorded live in one take, & there are no edits, tidyings up, or nefarious trickery of any sort whatever, as I figured this would be disingenuous cheating of the highest order on my part.

As such (like all of my live sets) it's quite the shambles; & is replete with bum notes, incorrectly triggered patterns that mess everything up, wanton biddly noises that sound awful, accidental chords that are in the wrong key, out of tune foolishness, weak & boring bits, & moments of joy where it all fits together & everything goes invisible & disappears.

The music here then (much like its composer) is an imperfect shambles. However, while replete with error, it is lovingly & wholeheartedly wrought - as should all our efforts be.  Huzzah to it then, & to us likewise.

Onward, onward! Onward, ever upward!
