It doesn’t matter anymore. The man on the screen. Famed? Respected? Cult Classic? His hands dictate movement as he frames his fate, embedded within a canvas of crumpled rippling, of choreographed Technicolor and pulsating flecks of butterfly dust. Where does he belong? It doesn’t matter anymore.
In a different place, where concepts are erased from context, laced across one another and pumped with manipulated compound (gossamer inks? translucent dyes?), their mingling makes the music, which makes the scene, which makes the product. A premiere? An exclusive? Tiny Mix Tapes presents “Carved And Cared For”: A starry and intrepid montage of minds that stir this lactic, karmic cocktail.

Canadian sound artist Mark Templeton utilizes acoustic instruments, found sounds, and sampled material to construct textured, collage-like electronic compositions. His excellent 2013 album Jealous Heart found a well-earned place in our Eureka section after its US release back in March.
