Eugene Thacker
Sketches For Biotech Research

Album AU 1998 on Extreme label
Electronic (Abstract, Noise, Experimental)

Recorded: 12/97-4/98 at Studio Maldoror. Source materials compiled: 1997-1998, using SoundForge XP, DAT, MD, contact mics, 4-track, and various CD players and "prepared" CDs. Cover and interior images: "List" & "Pathogen". Notes: This CD is an attempt to suggest a particular type of body of sound, influenced, on the one hand, by the 'technosciences' of digital anatomy and biotechnology (both of which have significant ties to the Internet), and on the other, by the kinaesthetics of electronic dance music. Noise provided a kind of kinetic pivot-point between these two types of bodies (one immobilized by databases, genetic codes, taxonomies and diagrams; the other constantly mobile through the use of electronic beats and regular rhythmic patterns). Thus, many sounds from the physical body, sounds or pulses produced by digital file transmission or errors, and heavily processed/edited samples from techno and drum'n'bass, all contributed to the source material for this CD.
