The polyrhythms and hypnotic drones of various standard office copy machines explored and manipulated for your enjoyment and fair-use sampling needs. This was made by the brilliant Plunderphonics folks, hence the name "Xerophonics."
Wow, this is a weird one - I used to have a comp that was all stuff like this. Tea kettles, creaky doors, funky washing machines. A good antidote/companion to songs of the humpbacks.
Aesop, are you interested in trading links with my new Lovecraftian music blog (http://fromthisswamp.blogspot.com)? Thanks as always.
There are quite a few albums out there like this. Not strictly about copy machines, but utilizing equipment that is similar to a copy machine and making minimal electronics with it. the Symphonies for Dot Matrix Printers done by [The User] are probably the best, so far. Vol 1 of their stuff is here: http://misteriosoimpossivel.blogspot.com/2008/06/user-synphony-1-for-dot-matrix-printers.html and Vol 2 is here: http://artificiallyinduceddubsyndrome.blogspot.com/2009/08/user-is-canadian-based-artists.html
It's about sharing hard to find and special recordings. It's not about taking anything away from the artists themselves. Of course if something is in print and you like it, buy it. If you have legitimate claim to something posted here and want it removed, just write me and I'll do so. It's definitely not about furthering any sort of political agenda, you might find some things here that you don't agree with. The views of the bands are their own and don't necessarily reflect my ideology or political views. Of course comments and suggestions are welcomed, but don't be hurt if they aren't responded to or taken. I will do my absolute best to be accomidating. Want to contact me? Do it here:
