about

My side of a split tape with the amazing artist Danelaw. The Beachers side was put together Christmas 2018. The only material used on the whole album is a single, sub-10 second A Capella sample, included in a sample pack from ebay:

"If Danelaw pictures a world in which humans metastasise into pure data, Beachers aka Daryl Worthington salvages some organic presence to imagine a post-human utopia. A single vocal sample (taken from a pack purchased on eBay) is the building block for all these tracks, Worthington using this humble source material to summon a cyborg realm in which losing our meatspace is a liberation, one that lets our minds roam free in a heaven of zeros and ones.

‘Them’ comes on like a bunch of extras from Laurie Anderson’s ‘O Superman’, shooting the shit after a hard day at the vocoder, the breathy scat-chat aligning with undulating synths in cheeky delight before settling into quantised monotone burble. ‘Falling’ ain’t so much ghost in the machine as exhalations dancing through the hard disk partitions. The vaporous semiconductor moans cast spidery grids for the not-there lung work, while a beefy kick drum gives adds a stern shimmy. And while there’s no percussion on ‘Apart’, the vibrations are even more transcendent, Worthington fashioning a cascade of coos and yowls whose soulful cries evoke both pathos and exultation in equal measure."
