GATE - 3M

3M is the long-awaited new release by michael morley - a keyman in the nz-freenoise-scene, who is well-known for his very own musical language he developed with gate along the axis lofi-noise-drone-sampling in the course of the 90s, but also for his work with the dead c. or his collaborations with lee ranaldo, keiji haino or faust, to name but a few. On -ɬ£3M morley somehow continues the way he began with his 1996/98 release -ɬ£the lavender head" on hells half halo - this time with the help of robbie yeats on synthesizers and tone generator - by using exclusively sampling and processing to create these two electrifying examples of distorted droney pieces which collide with the warmth of slowly developing fragments of melodies. Part 1 gives you an idea of how Joseph Suchy would sound trying to adopt the lofi-aesthetic of Foehn, part 2 however sounds like an outtake from a virtual collaboration of Pita and Bernhard Herman working on the soundtrack for-ɬ£Eraserhead II". Maybe." - Tonschacht.
