One of
the first things I really like about this tape is that it leaves a lot to the
imagination. Nothing about the case or
j-card insert leads you to believe that this is where this tape came from and
there is no such thing as a track listing, contact info, thanks, etc. It really just helps you to form your own
impression as you are left with little to no information on the tape itself.
Luckily
for me and most other people the internet has become an invaluable tool to find
out what they need to know, and with that I think a lot of this music is
reflected. There is an overall sense of
technology in these songs, but not in an electronic way.
The
first noises that are on a start and stop loop remind me of something like
Ghost in the Machine if only because it really sounds like there is a ghost
stuck inside my tape player. Reminders
of the movie “Pulse” are dredged up, as I imagine the ghost escaping the tape,
taking over my body and killing me.
There
is also a bit of destruction in these sounds, or at least it sounds like he’s
messing with the microphone on some level.
It’s kind of like the sounds of trying to plug in an amp to record only
with a microphone instead and you find that little bit of static, of friction.
On a
whole other level, which still is the glue that binds this all together though,
I can see this as simply being a field recording done inside of the universe
that is Tron. I know I say that it is “simply
being”, but there isn’t really anything quite simple about getting inside Tron.
An
accomplishment on every level, perhaps a bit of mystery is sometimes for the
best.
