Echo: A Piece of Prose by B. C. Slumber

We have all heard an echo before—
The rhythmic repetition of a memory,
A syncopation among the silence,
From which the nothingness becomes contrary.
The tones find their way into the air,
Generational degradation passed between hands;
In these waves, these hands, an echo is presented,
And through this repetition—back and forth, collaboration—
A new statue, luminescent, stands.

About the EP:

After months of back and forth between Australia to Japan.
Rob LFO and B. C. Slumber present the first EP of their “Echo” volumes.
A project where the archive of unlanded tracks is traversed and shared to create new musical works that push each other’s creations into new sonic fields.

“Pink Things” & “Green Things emerge as an unlikely pairing of downtempo fourth-world jazz and cicada-driven IDM. Where Rob LFO’s version, raw and distorted and emotion-invoking, looks inwards. B. C. Slumber pieces together rhythm, field recordings and granulisations of Rob’s bass performance to create an undulating hypno-rhythm.

Midst the echoes, something original and spontaneous resides. “Overtone” was developed in one studio session. LFO and Slumber channel the ghosts of dubstep’s past. A chuggy 68bpm slowburn through textures, digital aliasing dust sprinkled across a snare, the almost rejecting syncopation of Japanese experimental noise synthesizers and the ADHD-led desire to run every sound through every pedal until the characters of both become indistinguishable in the shade of the monster that has risen.

The pair of “Under” and “Influence” sees LFO and Slumber reinterpolating the styles of their musical demiurge. With Slumber’s loose fish-skeleton shaped rhythms calling out to Burial, asking, “Is this too swung?”. Distortion becomes a companion through the fog. The sun is embracing a cold morning in Naarm. Rob LFO’s original piece closes the record with broken grooves reassembled, kintsugi. Dusty textures and blown-out preamps float around the break. It is here on this ouija board of an EP that we summon the ghosts of our musical genetics.
