Album AU 2014 on Jordan Brown label
Rock
This album was written, performed, recorded and mixed by Jordan Brown over the many many on-and-off months spanning May 2011 to September 2014; in the many many on-and-off rooms of an old lingerie factory with asbestos roof on Pitt St in Brunswick, Melbourne—which is really Iramoo on Wurundjeri land still under duress, never ceded, occupied by a deathly acculturating coloniser city... Notable musical instruments are real drum kit, real electric and acoustic guitar, real bass guitar, real voice, real upright piano, real shitty keyboard; unreal mulch, unreal electronic patch, and the unreal hand icon inside the computer making use of all the above in simulation. Artworks for this record were graciously created alongside in both digital and analogue format by Michelle Chorny, in collaboration—all with continued realisations that the natural world is indeed phenomenally and perplexingly never-endingly beautiful and primary. Yet, the world burns and the simulation turns, toxic-mimics. Ink drawings about this Willow Darling and Michelle Chorny; tree stencils likewise by Nathalie Crawford. A5 layout inspired by the good work of Becca Kellaway with amazing construction ideas by Michelle Chorny—including leaf and hessian scrintprint. A very heartfelt and extended thanks to all for your amazing work, generous sincerity and support. Artwork assembly and design by Jordan Brown. Life was made more pleasant throughout the creation of this record by Nathalie Crawford, Kyle Magee, Rachel Williams, Antonietta Melideo, Michelle Chorny, Joshua Lapham and Callum Bryant. Thank you, and thank you all for your work, and for being alive; for being who you are. And thank you, dear listener and reader, for listening and reading; but most of all, for your attention span in a world of perpetual distraction; devoid of appreciation to detail, real meaning, reflection, empathy, understanding and contemplativeness. It is for you and these wonderful attributes that you hold, that this record is dedicated to you and generations to come (while CD players and all this other shit still exists—which of course isn’t long, and indeed in our lifetimes). After that, we’re all folklore. But maybe then we’ll sing for real again.
