Single from upcoming album "Crimée No. 7".

This was a bit of an experiment--the track's audio is a palindrome (besides the very beginning and end), made by layering a track with its reverse. The name "Electric Telegraphy 24 May 1844" refers to the first telegraph sent over Samuel Morse's early telegraph system, the content of which was the message "What Hath God Wrought". Radio, the internet and this form of music distribution eventually follow from this transmission, so I wanted to juxtapose weathered quasi-religious media with some enigmatic futuristic sounding beat. Hope you enjoy

Single from upcoming album "Crimée No. 7".

Part of the theme of the album is the tragedy of looking into a different time period--from the past, there's a naive hope for the future's advances to right the past's wrongs, which we might think are specific to our particular time, but are just inherent to our nature. From the future, I think we tell ourselves the story of a fictional, simpler, past where those same issues didn't yet exist. In this track I try to effect a nostalgic feeling by processing the resonance in an old piano idea into some melancholy loops and a light percussion pattern.

kmodp is a new experimental electronic music project, drawing inspiration from microsound, glitch, and ambient music. This project imagines the role of producer as archivist, performing the technical yet creative action of sculpting old field recordings into new musical sound, often through looping and splitting samples into unrecognizably small pieces.
