about

Reprocessor (due for 2023 release) is a sonic documentation and "musicalization" of Covid19 era found sounds, with songs composed between 2020-2022.

In lieu of conventional "reworking" (in pharmaceutical manufacturing terminology entails altering processing strategies/combining additional elements to yield varying results) of source materials, over 2 hours in length of raw recordings are repetitively reinforced, dissected and extracted for expressive sonic events. No additional sounds are added subsequently. The goal remained making point of solely utilizing and synthesizing prerecorded samples. They are therefore reprocessed rather than reworked, as performative & improvisational mediums and lush layers of ever-morphing textures.

More than 120 unique samples were captured over the span of 3 years, and over 20 musicians and artists contributed their voices.
