SOLD OUT please check with our distributors SEM-015 Scuba Death - Demon Seed LP Dark brooding electronics from mystery project Scuba Death, originally released in a microscopic edition of 40 tapes. Underneath the grime of oscillator abuse, clever tape manipulation & contact mic work 'Demon Seed' has to offer, lies a compositional framework that reveals another world all together. Motivic material runs throughout each side long piece, revealing itself more & more upon each listen. Dynamic feedback swells and tape crackle function as precise elements of the musical phrasing that comes & goes, and later returns, louder, softer, backwards, inverted. Passages of harsh noise transform into delicate & melodic ambient textures only to crumble into desolate field recordings, to then go back and return to the 'head'. There is no 'stream-of-consciousness' or improvised pedal wankery on here, instead we have very concise and controlled compositions, starting off with an almost industrialized techno vibe, that then runs the gamut of wall noise to tonal ambience; its clear Scuba Death is a master of his craft. 'Demon Seed' has as much in common with the basement spheres of the noise underground as with contemporary electro-acoustic composition, and that is a great thing and something we hope to see more of. It's time for a shift in consciousness, and as the back of the sleeve reads 'do not stand in a place of danger trusting in miracles'. Edition of 200: Plain labels with the back of the sleeve silkscreened including a flap and a 12'x12' pro-printed cover doubling as an insert. Pressed at 45 RPM.
