"Eight tiny anthems for starting again"

I’m Sorry You Feel That Way is the 12th full length release from Schemawound. On his previous release “Instinctive Drowning Response” Schemawound documented the breakdown and aftermath of a personal loss.

“I’m Sorry You Feel That Way” finds Schemawound dealing with the next phase of processing and rebuilding.

Over the years Schemawound has played across IDM, Industrial, Glitch, Noise and Ambient. “I’m Sorry You Feel That Way” pulls from all of these while adding a layer of organic and acoustic sounds. From the cracks in the glitches and static there are glimpses of optimism not seen on previous releases.

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. ~ Aldous Huxley

All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it. ~ Jean Cocteau

All music is beautiful. ~ Billy Strayhorn

I've become addicted to drone. Again. I was the kid with his head on the piano, listening to the overtones die away, or pressing his ear to the steel hull of the ferry, enthralled by the sounds it created. I was the kid who formed wordless songs to accompany the sound of train wheels on a long journey, or hummed along with the fan on a hot day.

In the 60s I used to play my 45s on 16, or backwards, or by hand using razor blades as stylii.

I made cut-up tapes on a cheap cassette recorder in the 70s and experimented with reel-to-reel in the 80s. 

Thank you Subotnick, Lygeti, Coltrane, Jimi, Mimaroglu, Eno, Cluster, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, Throbbing Gristle...

I am not a musician. I am a scavenger of sounds. I use the most basic software to process those sounds, stretching and filtering until something emerges that makes a joyful noise. Or not...
