Gravity Waves and The Spirit World # Rascal Arts Volume 1 & DJ Cheesemaster ▾
The first hour of this episode features original audio by Patchfutures spanning poetry, bass knowledge, grub grammar, grot graphology, and banana.
"It’s still the speeding car and the dust it leaves behind in the cartoon. It’s still the cloud of dust with the fist leaching out. The reaching out. Peeling off and ticking.
Bass knowledge and the poking bottle. Pokey ole.
Under the pressure of alien taunt. "Everything is recorded through speech marks”. The cheeky knowledge of the groated clay. Twisted way. A taint of packaging revolves in the weerd. A nod to nodding itself, a nod to blinking yourself awake.
A square of Black, flecked, Dusty, woollen. Just peeling at the edge there. Rounded by chance and folded it just underneath there. And It’s starting to peel towards you. It looks like it knows what its doing. Something so undeniable, it’s peeling soft square has aa thickness beyond its means.
Rascal Arts is an approach of cheeky darkness, of 'cheeky darkness approaching' oiling lick of flame, oorange warmth of the fire and the smoke. When you watch your soul twist.
Expect monomutations of excessive depth and pressure. Expect mastard beautations of ailing scrawl. Expect the banana to watch your step instead of you fearing 'the skidding’."
Commissioned new work from contemporary sound practitioners and other audio choices from experimental electronic collective The Spirit of Gravity.
