HEIRCRAFT TOTEM & THE KANTEBURY CHORUS - September 1-4, 2004

Heircraft Totem is a new project featuring WWVVs Satya Sai Scuppety and Wooden Wand. On the first night in their new house, they were awoken to a beautiful, inexplicably rhythmic choir of various crickets and locusts outside their bedroom window. As New Yorkers, they were unaccustomed to the silence that provided these creatures such a still palette on which to get their yas out. Some of it sounded like the quiet stuff on the last Hair Police record (well, ALMOST as good as that). Anyway, they did the logical thing and recorded it for many hours over four nights, then lied in bed in the dark with a microphone apiece and hummed, mumbled and sang along. The results were then processed, chopped and screwed, but the only sound sources used were insects and human voices. The first of many, and strictly limited to 60 copies. - Polyamory.
