{"product_id":"barreca-marc-a-penchant-for-the-useless","title":"BARRECA, MARC - A Penchant for the Useless","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Using a collection of electric guitar pickups, contact microphones, and transducers that would vibrate random metallic and wooden objects, Marc Barreca built a library of loop recordings. Also recorded were the electronic buzzes and bleeps of a computer and various home appliances.  Granular effect processing and layering with a sampler and a physical modeling synth transformed this largely atonal source material into deep, harmonious assemblages. These long chains of sonic transformations fused with the dark beauty of their industrial steam-era inspiration, and resonate throughout the music. Only rarely will these pieces hint at their now obsolete and decaying source materials. A Penchant for the Useless is Marc Barreca's 15th solo album, adding to a catalog of constantly evolving and refining experimentation and compositional innovation that now spans more than four decades. Barreca has also collaborated with Three Point Circle , Young Scientist , Savant , and K. Leimer . Mastered by Taylor Deupree at 12K Mastering.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Palace Of Lights","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":48750590656731,"sku":null,"price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/files\/POL0162026CD_PROD.jpg?v=1778101554","url":"https:\/\/www.fusetronsound.com\/products\/barreca-marc-a-penchant-for-the-useless","provider":"fusetron","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
