Whispers of Ought Five

Below are links to two out of a series of tracks that I worked on up until early September 2005. EYE (Guido Flichman of Buenos Aires, Argentina) sent me a batch of solo recordings of voice, guitar, and general mayhem sometime around April, which I processed, sequenced and added my own recordings to. I was just at the point of playing some of the files to my collaborator, when my computer's hard drive burned out, and I lost a significant portion of my work (including the lengthy "Fnoife" suite--now gone for good). I recently found these files in a computer mail cache, and they seem to be the condensed halves of the first track for the proposed album. Had I not lost everything, EYE and I would have gone on to mix the tracks via internet and hopefully turn them into something more satisfactory. Needless to say, that did not happen, so here are links to the rather flawed demos (with rather unfortunate titles of my creation) that remain.

A few months ago, EYE and I spoke for the first time since my hard drive took matters into it's own hands. After some discussion, we agreed that someone else might better know what to do with this material. Just last night, EYE and I spoke agian, this time with the update that a new third collaborator had been found. Ctephin, who runs the Umbrella Noize Collective (a truly philanthtropic online label where one can access full albums by EYE, Ctephin, and many others in the internet noise community for free), is someone who I feel utter confidence in when it comes to these recordings. This is the Umbrella Noize Collective's mission statement:

"We aim to find and host for free download some of today's best experimental / noize artists.We hope that by hosting unsigned artists music that it will be downloaded and shared by all and possibly get heard by someone who might give them a physical release."

How could one argue with such aspirations?

EYE, Ctephin, and myself share similar views on the commodification of music {read: SOUND}, so I would naturally hope that when the time comes, the finished recordings themselves will be available for free download. For now, be content with some links to Ctephin and EYE's free online output:
