Features

Sam Amidon: "I wanted to do an album where it would have radically contrasting sonic environments, but still feel like it’s all coming from one creative space."

Bob Bellerue (Ende Tymes Festival): "To me, noise is one of the most egalitarian art forms, because it is so inherently marginal."

Breakbot: "Making these remixes had been like going to school for me. [...] It was a good way to learn the software, to define the world I was making."

Ryan Power: "I'm trying to tap the collective unconscious. I'm trying to find a seat in the front, so I don't get car sick."
