about

Introducing a revisionist exotica for these times…aquatic synths & drum machines, slide guitars & santoors, stray trumpets and accordion...ethno-industrial, dub, and samples from a fifty-year old suitcase of cassettes...

The major catalyst was a suitcase of twenty cassettes my father unearthed from his teenage years in Iran, recorded between 1972-1975, taping DJ monologues off the radio, lines of movie dialogue off the TV, radio plays, spoken word translations of European pop...

That made it a kind of excavation of a bygone time, a travelogue to a place accessed only through cultural artifact & collective memory. An imaginary soundtrack to a half-remembered movie from a faraway place.
