THE NOW DEFUNCT HIGHPOINT LOWLIFE RECORDING COMPANY


HPLL059 - V/A - PERSONAL GEOGRAPHY

March 2012

Themed around the augmented geographies we form through our networks of friends, now effortlessly transcending physical geography through our immersion in the digital landscape. The artists included on this mix are from a circle of friends previously involved with the Now Defunct Highpoint Lowlife Recording Company, now connected via a matrix of online spaces. For their audio submissions used in this mix, i asked them to send me a snapshot of their current environment and musical influences. Musically the mix moves from drone and field recordings through more aggressive noise and found sound, building into a more punishing techno pulse.

It is a single continuous mix, composed of the following tracks:

Mandelbrot -- Tiny Hammers // recorded in London, England
Spatial -- Twenty Twleve Legacy Live // recorded in London, England
Production Unit -- Bye Bye Love You // recorded in Glasgow, Scotland
Kwaidan -- Skaters By Tesco Lotus, Weds Night. // recorded in Bangkok, Thailand
Kwaidan -- Obujekuto (Object) // recorded in Bangkok, Thailand
