1000 Miles

With production spanning a period of over 13 years and mastering for digital release by Noel Summerville (Flying Lotus, Plaid & Gonjasufi). Daniel Crompton applies digital manipulation to found sounds, ambient field recordings and traditional instruments in order to construct sonic events, through a process of moderated improvisation, which fuse the organic with the technical. Sounds are distorted beyond recognition and layered to produce distant, haunting ambient atmospheres, which shift seamlessly to melodic, glitched passages, culminating in a coherent and wholly absorbing debut LP.

While elephants in the wild need our support, there are deranged elephants, in Washington and other cities around the world, stomping the life out of this earth and poisoning our families. Become a fly - let your voice be heard. Stand against the deceit and corruption.

Elephant Poem - Judy Grahn

Suppose you have an elephant 
with 56 millimeter trunk 
and say he’s tearing up the jungle 
(say you think he’s drunk or crazy) 
How’re you going to bring that elephant down? 
lion can’t 
bear could but don’t want to 
and the panther’s too small for that job. 

Then suppose you have an elephant 
with a million millimeter trunk 
and his jungle is the whole green world? 
(and he’s drunk and crazy) 
you see the problem.

one more word
about elephants 
No matter how hard they try 
elephants cannot pick their noses 
any more than bankers can hand out money 
or police put away their pistols 
or politicians get right with God. 

a sty 
in the elephant’s eye 
aint nothing 
but a fly in his nose 
is a serious if not fatal condition 
when the fly 
gets into that nostril 
it begins to swell 
and stay closed 
he can’t smell can’t drink can’t think 
can’t get one up on anybody 
he beings to regret 
all that flabby ammunition 
hanging on him 

he begins to wish 
he’d been a little more bare-faced 
like an ape or a fish 
all those passageways 
he needs to feed himself 
tied up 
ELEPHANT TURNED UPSIDE DOWN 
by a fly 
a million flies 
outweigh a trunk 
a tank 
a bank 
a million flies 
outthink a pile of IBM junk 
 
we must be wise 
to the elephant’s lies 
you may think we should try  
to sober him up 
but the trouble isn’t that he’s drunk 
the trouble is 
that he’s an elephant 
with a multi-millimeter trunk 
who believes the world is his jungle 
and until he dies 
he grows and grows 
we must be flies 
in the elephant’s nose 
ready to carry on 
in every town 
you know there are butterflies 
there are horse flies and house flies 
blue flies, shoo flies and it’s-not- 
true flies 
then there are may flies and wood flies 
but I’m talking about  
can flies & do flies 
bottle flies, rock flies and sock flies 
dragonflies and fireflies 
in the elephant’s nose 
ready to carry on  
til he goes down
