about

This album is a collection of edited excerpts from our rehearsals for SkinMusic at MONA FOMA 2019. The recordings are thus suitably rough, enhanced with a bit of reverb to simulate spaces we'd have rather been in. Everything was live. The only overdubbing is the string drum on track 3.
Sonja is playing a big slab of SCOBY lying on a simple oscillator interface: hold one end of the circuit and complete it by touching the SCOBY. The player(s) become part of the instrument. A volume pedal is used on some tracks for phrasing. Karlin and Bruce are playing reed and percussion instruments made by the late leather sculptor, Garry Greenwood. Bruce also plays a dried SCOBY maraca-type thing, and other hand percussion.
