Botborg presents "PSNKY Test Subject #1 : Connection to the Photosonicneurokineasthograph"

Botborg is a practical demonstration of the theories of Dr Arkady Botborger (1923-81), founder of the 'occult' science of Photosonicneurokineasthography - translated as "writing the movement of nerves through use of sound and light". Raw electronic signals are fused and rewired to create intensely visceral experiences of sound-colour synaesthesia.

One Earth Hour

Recorded during Earth Hour 2008 (+10GMT) We set up on my back deck amongst trees and sandalwood candles and improvised for an hour on our laptops. Recording is the sum of both Hard Disk and ZOOM H2 with windshield. Minor EQ and an attempt at properly syncing the files is the only editing they have seen. Do we curse the earth with our schizophonic sound?

Stove Goats - Halftheory Remixes Burzum

Three tracks of hellish, blasphemous noise reguritated and spewed forth by Secret Killer Of Names, Company Fuck and Urblooten, in tribute to Burzum's "Aske" ep. Expect frostbitten tundras of muddy bass sludge, inverted buzzsaw noise riffs and diabolically mangled screams. The remains of Burzum are necrotically defiled to the point of unrecognisability in the face of this grim and unholy assault by these fearless noise vikings, but such evil spirits are not so easily defeated and permeate this di...
