Offers Schechter of the latest single, “‘Oral Thrush’ was initially recorded on the Buchla 200 synth at EMS Elektronmusikstudion (EMS Studios) Stockholm during a Composer Residency in 2018. I later finished the track by manipulating the audio files with pitch shifting, time stretching, and heavy effects work, layering various passes of the different synthesizer sounds. The final result created a disembodied, brittle piece of music in a register much higher than I usually work. I liked how, in the midst of the chaos, the tones started to resemble horns or sirens, wailing into an open sky.”

Future Fossils will be released on CD, LP, and digitally. Find LP preorders HERE and CD preorders. (Digital orders will be available in the coming weeks).
