Second Square To None

Two shortish mixes made / mixed by Fyodor at the first Second Square to None gig in November 2008. Fyodor has an interesting approach to using a pair of decks, hooking them up to delay / looper pedals and treating the needles and records as things to make sounds with (not necessarily the ones you'd expect!). Lots of monged vocal samples slip and slide between distorted bass monoliths, snatches of recognisable music sneak in and evaporate...this is what a bad hangover sounds like! A bit of info about Fyodor:

Fyodor used to play with the now defunct John Mary Trilogy, the four piece that included such superstars as Ed Devane, Scurvy Lass and redmonk. There he dealt mainly in rhythms and developed a taste for improvisation and noise. Fyodor is ignorant of computers, and clouds this in a puritan hardware only ethic. He is currently concentrating on live noise improvisation, and the more he progresses the further away contentment lies.

The artwork was etched directly onto the cardboard CD sleeves with a variety of sharp tools. The etchings are only visible if the sleeve is held at an angle to a light source, which the "artist" Ed Devane thought would be appropriate for the mix. We had to mess with the levels a bit for the scans to be visible at all so they look a bit green...
