Intelligent noise music label ZEROMOON is proud to release MEMORY GOSPEL, the newest release from MYO, the solo project of Cory O’Brien – self-taught hacker, computer musician and electro-acoustic improviser.
Memory Gospel reads as sonic text wherein tones are stretched to their breaking points; sounds twist and turn inwards onto themselves; numerations of crackling static and looped feedback shatter and then recontextualize in a perfect illogical reasoning; all culminating in the title track’s rhythmic pulse-signaling.
The sounds of Memory Gospel are mini-soundtracks informed by greater occurrences: Digital Overboard / Lipoma 08 and Emergent Citrus Feedback Multiphonics / Lipoma 02 v2 by O’Brien’s week-long recovery from a lipoma removed in spring 2009; People Are So God Damn Fucking Selfish and Memory Gospel were recorded during the recession slump in late 2008, during an uncertain future; with the remainder of tracks recorded in winter 2009.
In a similar pattern where harmonics and timber are altered in prepared piano or guitar work, Myo has created a new audiology of ‘prepared’ electronics: “It is digital noise that got confused and thinks its analog shortwave feedback,” states O’Brien. “The whole thing was done with a very raw and gritty aesthetic.”
