Album IT 2018 on Nature Noise Wall label
Electronic (Harsh Noise Wall, Drone)
Baneful Flower is a minimal drone and HNW dedication to the Cut-up of William Burroughs performed on text by Jean Genet and consequently made into a composition by Charlie Looker, 'Out of Man', and performed by the Anagram Ensemble at the Stone, NYC (October 17 2015). This was in celebration of the publication of "The Travel Agency Is On Fire: Burroughs Cuts Up The Great Bards" which compiled cut-ups Burroughs made of a number of writers as well as Genet. The album takes this text and the resultant composition and performance and pursues a 'sonic cut-up' technique to develop source material for further distortion and obfuscation into the maximal drones you hear. Tied into the sounds core is a potent fear of what it is to be human - where human nature is purposefully unnatural in the extreme and only thoughts of fragile vulnerability are able to meet the wanton violence that plagues the mind. Recorded on the 12th and 13th of November 2018.
