#HandsTo #JephJerman 🧵3/3:

“Klangfiguren” was originally self-released in 1996 via his #AnimistRecordings label and feels kind of rarefied. In contrast to earlier recordings, this doesn’t have any electronic manipulation. Recorded in and around Tucson, AZ and Seattle, WA from May to July 1995. https://dunkelheitprod.bandcamp.com/album/klangfiguren

“Q'ojfa” was originally self-released in 1987 as a cassette via his #BigBodyParts label (later reissued in 1996 via #TurbineIndustries), this is his first #HandsTo recording. It is raw and unconstrained. What you get are hypnotic layers of manipulated squeaking, grinding, and bashing metal recorded at an abandoned refinery in Manitou Springs, Colorado. https://dunkelheitprod.bandcamp.com/album/qojfa

#JephJerman 🧵 1/3:

❝In 1986 I began recording and performing under the name #HandsTo. Most of the early soundwork was sampler and tape loop based, though over the course of ten years it evolved into using environmental recordings with very little to no manipulation or electronic processing.❞
