about

Words from DJ E.T. (mhzesent):

One of the albums that wasn't assembled from odd bits and pieces of sound, but rather planned from the beginning to the end as a cohesive release - but yet, it seems that it has never been published.
I found it on 8th April 2018 after accidentally logging in to one of my past, unmaintained bandcamp accounts instead of my new main account, being listed as 'private', with the release date of July 18, 2015 and the description saying "no."

It stems from an experiment in creative re-sampling, to try and justify the place of plunderphonics once again for myself after a long period of disillusionment; taking source materials and dropping their sample rates into ridiculously low values and playing them back at the same time at various speeds with various interpolation settings - intentionally overlapping each other in a chaotic manner, while still staying very basic, but altering the sounds highly enough to constitute a transformative work (or even higher); the [untitled] tracks were made in the same sessions as 'rhythmic counterparts' and constitute more of an 'instrumental hip-hop' material, and it was originally intended to be this way - but then I found out that it's more fun and surprisingly challenging, actually, to let the sounds play loose without synchronization and sporadically apply various treatments to them in an engaging way; I believe that with this low-resolution sound it really is kind of an acousmatic music even, where what's audible is too vague to be pinned down outright by the listener, so with multiple sounds playing at once, it can only be guessed from the dense atmosphere.

This principle was a simple basis for what I'm doing as mhzesent since late 2016 in the field of sound collage and atmospheric noise, sometimes blended with hiphop/electronic beats too - just in "analogue lo-fi" form, instead of digital (predominantly, there have been other releases like this one, and actually realized way in-depth than this first thing right here), and some of those snippets from the "part" tracks from this album, surfaced later on in EVEN FURTHER edited forms on releases: "Abject (02)" (here on Genetic Trance, recorded in April 2017) and "Anti" (released on Kamar Lo-fi Recs in 2018, recorded in Feb 2016) - and probably others (who knows?)

The track "Ghouls" from "Dark Twisted Hellish 1.5" released here on GT was recorded in the same sessions, too, and there are some other beats from there that I'm saving for ... whenever.
Summer vacations 2015 in Zakopane, Poland, on a netbook running Ubuntu Linux with ModPlug Tracker and Audacity being used for the work; and very sporadic access to a computer and even rarer access to the internet, usually for doing backups; and no mouse (just touchpad and keyboard, which I believe made me more patient and focused for it's awkwardness)
Some tracks contain field recordings from the holidays or overdubbed vocals recorded with a sansa clip+ running Rockbox - those have been subjected to treatments too, to blend their sound with the samples into common atmosphere.
