This is the second track from my latest album for Liverpool-based Pale Master label.  The piece is taken from a live recording of a performance I did at Chameleon Arts Cafe in Nottingham on my November 2016 UK tour.

"There are two journeys to Under Observation. There’s the initial journey - the work is a collection of Liam McConaghys' time on tour during 2016. A year of sampling the same stock of tapes and vinyls, slowly learning to bring each one under control.

The second journey to Under Observations is in its depths. Less in terms of music’s tropes of emotional input/output, but more in its combination of hauntology and archaeology. A glacial journey through an earth of disembodied voices. Layer upon layer of analogue interference. It is under all these layers that the emotional pull of the work is found. A foreboding of a failed future among the broken melodies and a disjunction to our surface above."

Music by Microdeform (Liam McConaghy)
Improvised and recorded live on tour 2016
Edited and mixed at home Spring/Summer 2017
Mastered by Thomas J Bryan at Jute Box Studios
Cover Art 'Epidermis' by Ian McConaghy

the exploratory, ambient transmissions of liam mcconaghy...
cosmic oscillations, mesmeric dark sorcery shrouded in mist, memory recall, drifting slowly into the ether...
